Riot Games does something I really appreciate: whenever they release a patch for League of Legends, they also release a video wherein the developers go through and explain a lot of the bigger balance changes. They’ll go into detail about why X champion was OP and needed these specific nerfs or changes while champion Y hadn’t been performing quite like they hoped so they buffed or changed him in this other way.
I gotta say, I really miss that level of transparency with the GW2 patches. I know there’s the State of the Game videos that sometimes touch on this but those aren’t nearly as exhaustive or specific. It would be nice to know explicitly what the balance team is trying to accomplish by their changes.
Just a thought.
