That would be insane griefing potential.

If 2-3 builds are dominating any given time, then there are quite a few things that are not overpowered, which is what this thread is asserting happened numerous times.

The only way to offset everything the way you're describing is to literally send the power level of EVERYTHING up. 20% more damage flying around is fine if there's 20% more healing, 20% more max HP, 20% more regen/degen, and the DW cap goes up by 20%. Obviously, this is not the case. Power creep rarely covers all bases, and something gets pushed further towards the breaking point.

Some options arise, some options get forced out of the game. Power creep tends to force options out, because you're forced to run things that have powered up, and are forced to run things that are capable of dealing with things that are overly powerful by former standards, as it's impossible to make everything keep up.

Rt spike no question. Lots of HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE players that are rank9++ from rt spike ... its really sad.

when you look at how imba a build is you have to consider the difference b/w bad players getting a bunch of fame and decent players getting a bit more

After Spirit Spam i fight against I Incredible Hulk I fom Marvel who still tried a Spirt spam mod in HA. And he lost bad against a 3+ Players. THE So called Good Players are gone from GW coz there are no more realy owerpowerd Builds in GW that they could exploid. I still wonder why A-Net needed so long to Nerf Spirit Spam. It took Months for the first Nerf Patch.

Back to Topic.

Spirit Spam is the Overpowerd Build.

Just to come to overpowerd Builds.

Short time Keystone Signet got a Buff. I Guess 1 day or so. 10 secs recharge. That was a Overpowerd build. Could shutdown with it 3 or more Players.

First GvG times. No henchs and no VoD so. GvG Gank Builds. 30s or 1 min after reaching the Lord he was down.

Life Siphon got a Buff also for 1 day. 5 energy 1sec cast time 2 secs rechage. Spame it like hell and build up a degen.
