Ok so I want to know which patch was the most balanced and fun (combat wise) according to the player base so hopefully zos can make better decisions in the future

Mainly talking pvp but pveers are welcome to give opinions too

Personally I prefer wrathstone due to maining a medium armour stamblade and disliking the nerfs in elsweyr and the dots and cast time in scalebreaker

Edit: can everyone who voted other plz comment the patch name so we can see which was best? Ty

    They all have had their issues depending on what class you play... mostly balanced is highly subjective

    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    I don't really have a strong opinion on class v class balance in PVP, but I really enjoyed the patches when ZOS increased AP for Defense ticks. Players would actually ride back and defend, so PvDoor was much rarer and we had more awesome fights.

    Hard for me to remember specifics of the older patches they start to run together but I actually had a lot of fun during murkmire if we go semi recent playing on all my characters. Felt I could succeed with any class. Could just be I played a lot and "got gud" or "learned2play" but it definitely didn't feel like nerfmire sky was falling like many at the time.

    Before that I'd go clear back to when gear didn't matter and people ran around naked and cyro didn't lag at launch. Then it wasn't bad once they finally capped CP and introduced non-cp there for bit whenever that was.

    There was always good and bad every patch. You cant just flat out say what patch was the best considering so many of them had good and bad aspects (in other words abused aspects).

    My favorite time to play this game was when cryodill wasn't so easily PvD'd. People could actually show up to keep fights before they were taken.

    Ive even started to miss Resource Doors. It was how you held it down and flagged keeps back in the day. Now you just Front Door in 2 mins or get the hammer.

    Homestead - just before the morrowind update. I enjoyed these times the most.

    Probably Homestead, but everything between Thiefs Guild and Morrowind was pretty good, with a few exceptions, but those never lead to big problems. With Morrowind they tried to fix what wasn't broken and since then everything went wrong with major rework after major rework.

    Dragonhold would be really good if DoTs weren’t nerfed so hard. Here is me praying they slightly buff dots week 2 after they see how dumb it is.
