Here, I’m here ! I’m the guy who doesn’t care about meta and things like that. I’m the guy who doesn’t like to follow builds from other people. In conclusion, I’m the guy who plays what he likes to play. Guess what ? I’m also the guy who will QQ more and more, because meta or not, the changes still make some of my build path irrelevant with all the changes, and make few builds I like to play less fun and enjoyable, because there’s now better way to build them.
I understand your PoV and share the eternal, “freaking play what you like”, but it’s not a valid point here, it’s kind of off-topic I would say.
I will add that since the last “big” update for Wizards and Swordmen, it helped a lot of players to return into the game. Nothing can prove it was because of rank resets, but I don’t think we really need a Sherlock Holmes to confirm rank resets helped people to come back. Will anyone who left the game and were not really into Wiz/Sword builds will come back if they see an interesting patch for them, but not so much because there is no rank reset ?
