Many things of the Legion system actually left classes feeling worse, and it was only once you had your full weapon loadout and preferred legendaries that your class became truly memorable. They even stripped the classes down so hard to make up for the power they needed to give the weapons to feel meaningful that without flat out adjusting the toolkits to include all legendary effects all the classes felt incredibly hollow, which is what the 8.0 class backlash was about. But they blew everything at once, and we’ve come up empty handed now. Legion was a “cash in on nostalgia, let the long term be damned” expansion, and a really bad step that was taken to try and hype up the player base by giving them everything they wanted- legendary weapons, an army, being the big hero, class fantasy etc. The game is still breathing on its own, coasting off the success of its first 3 iterations and nostalgia. No, Warpgate, Legion did not breathe life into the game. They didnt ruin your game, they did their job to someone else’s specification. They were transferred over to WoW with the approval of the project lead, and all moves have to be okay’d by a supervisor, including the head game director. They’re only doing what is being asked of them- tuning the numbers and creating adjustments or fitting systems to match a game plan that was given to them by those who control the game as a whole.
However those employees from the Diablo 3 team have very little to do with the state of the game, and targeting them alone is not going to change anything.
Yes, Satan, adding Action RPG itemization mechanics to an RPG has had negative effects. Is it a stretch to say that solutions lie in the middle 99.9% of the time, so you shouldnt bother to sit on the extremes? Being caught between the dichotomy of someone who thinks that everything is terrible and everyone should be fired and someone else who thinks everything is great and “Legion breathed new life into the game.” This is alarming, because this kind of argumentative style doesnt help us get to a solution.
