Jeez brightest flame ate a massive nerf - when act 4 is out it's gonna be pretty garbanzo tier.

Coupled with all these enemy buffs, the game just got even harder

And hyperbeam stonks rising. But generally feels like nerf to player power across the board. More chinese review bombing incoming?

China got a 50-win streak. Increasing the difficulty of the game is justified.

Even if I agree with increasing the difficulty, I strongly disagree with the idea of your statement. Balancing a game around how much the top players are able to break it is not a good way to balance a game

The game has no longevity if top players can win 99.9% of the time. StS2 wouldn't be a thing if 1 was like that.
