Swen said he was looking forward to seeing all the ways in which players would be able to exploit and break the game. I do not think this combination is OP at all. It's simply a technique to use for those who want it. If you feel it isn't fun, just ignore it.
Some people cannot handle that other people like to have fun in ways they don't approve of.
I don't understand this thinking. We just had an talent adjusted for balance in the last patch. We've had balance passes all throughout development. Why are we trying to balance anything at all if the goal is to watch players exploit and break the game?
Heck, why remove the "T" teleport feature that was in yesterday? Nobody is forcing anyone to press that key and abuse it.. should it be there for those who want to
"exploit and break the game"?
I don't care how people abuse Leech in their game.. but I would like to be able to have a talent *like Leech* as an option, without breaking the balance for *my* game in the process.
I think the day developers wash their hands of balancing their own game and instead fall back on the excuse of
"abuse it if you want, up to you", we're all in trouble and in for some really crappy gaming.
