Why balance in ESO actually fails. It's simply because the loudest whiners control the game.

00:00 - 00:03The initial plan was to add a cast time,
00:03 - 00:06making damage shields crittable and interruptible, while
00:06 - 00:07buffing medium armor weapon damage
00:08 - 00:12 by 3%. For balance, shield duration was increased,
00:12 - 00:15and shields will now benefit from spell and physical resistances.
00:17 - 00:19With these nerfs to shields, and buffs to medium,
00:19 - 00:21Things will improve, in spite of medium armor's trash defenses.
00:24 - 00:26Well... Sadly,
00:27 - 00:28The forum Sorcs
00:31 - 00:34They somehow whined so pathetically, that ZOS is actually giving shields a massive PVP buff
00:34 - 00:40No cast time, uninterruptible, major evasion gutted; and dodge roll no longer provides an additional second of dodge mitigation.
00:53 - 00:58Would all the magsorcs and stamblades please leave the room.
01:13 - 01:15WHAT KIND OF CALLOW BASTARDS WOULD BUFF SHIELDS
01:15 - 01:17WHILE GUTTING THE ONLY DEFENSES OF MEDIUM ARMOR
01:18 - 01:23THE WEAKEST ARMOR TYPE IN THE GAME FOR 3 YEARS RUNNING!
01:25 - 01:28If shield changes were reverted, then obviously...
01:29 - 01:31nerfs to medium armor should also be postponed.
01:31 - 01:34I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE SPIKED MY METHAMPHETAMINES WITH LSD!
01:34 - 01:37MY DK GETS BENT OVER BY SORCS SO OFTEN
01:37 - 01:40 THAT HIS OFFICIAL MOUNT IS LISTED AS "THE BANGBUS". IN MY COLLECTIONS MENU!
01:40 - 01:42Major Evasion is still a thing, it just gives 25% AOE mitigation, now...
01:42 - 01:46OH REALLY?! DOES IT STACK WITH BLADE CLOAK!!
01:46 - 01:48Well no they changed blade cloak so that it also provides major evasion, but...
01:48 - 01:52THEN ITS ABSOLUTE SHIT! TWICE THE COST, NO MAJOR EXPEDITION, AND NO DAMAGE!
01:53 - 01:54i'D BE BETTER OFF SLOTTING SOUL TRAP, YOU PUTZ!
01:56 - 02:03You can't maintain balance in a game where whiners are rewarded for their entitlement.
02:04 - 02:08The Psychopaths are running the Asylum, Man!
02:08 - 02:13Losing 15% mitigation is exactly the same as losing 10000 spell and physical resistance.
02:14 - 02:16MEDIUM ARMOR MIGHT AS WELL BE RENAMED "NAKED"
02:17 - 02:21AT LEAST THEN WE'D KNOW WHY WE ARE SO ROUTINELY FUCKED!
02:27 - 02:29I just can't take it much longer....
02:30 - 02:34I love this game, or at least the potential I see in it.
02:34 - 02:36But each patch it becomes more and more unbalanced.
02:41 - 02:44AND IT'S FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THAT ZOS
02:45 - 02:48ALLOWS A BUNCH OF WHINY SORCS AND NIGHTBLADES
02:48 - 02:53TO CRY AND CRY UNTIL ALL ATTEMPTS AT BALANCE AND PROGRESS
02:54 - 02:56ARE SCRUBBED FROM EACH UPDATE,
02:56 - 02:59LEAVING ONLY ZOS'S NERFS TO LESS POPULAR CLASSES
03:00 - 03:02CREATING AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF EXPONENTIALLY GROWING IMBALANCE IN PVP!
03:04 - 03:07Just be grateful your Templar is getting buffed....
03:14 - 03:17I'm getting too old for this shit...
03:19 - 03:23When does it end? When will they see reason?
03:25 - 03:26Guess I'll just go naked fishing in the Imperial City
03:31 - 03:33so that at least I can die with
03:40 - 03:45my giant fucking balls intact!
03:46 - 03:49You can rob me of any semblance of balance,
03:53 - 03:56you can rob me of my class identity,
03:56 - 03:58But you will never rob me of my dignity, ZOS...
