This entire patch seems like a knee-jerk plan with very minimal planning and focus. Instead of changing so many aspects of combat in one patch why not use a very calculated approach over a period of time? It would make sense to focus on one aspect of combat like LA/HA balance with a complete plan on how to achieve the balance instead of several aspects at once. For instance, use this patch to completely balance and dial in LH/HA attacks, so that all attention can be on those changes only. Once it goes through PTS to the live servers see how it performs for a period of time before going onto the next phase of AOE/DOT balance. I understand that one may affect the other and that is why a precise plan should be formed instead of releasing a huge sweeping patch on the PTS. Several people have already mentioned that a full plan and roadmap should be posted and that should be something that should not even need to be mentioned. One aspect of combat should be changed per update after a complete testing period and not a rushed test like we are seeing. The greater the impact to the game the more detailed the plan and testing should be. This ready, fire aim plan does not work.
