I think they need to get better playtesters, because obviously none of their playtester were able to "break" Set while testing the last patch. They said, "Ok we toned down the animal rush, now our playtesters aren't dominating with Set anymore". No offense, but your playtesters didn't try hard enough. As soon as the patch was released, you had the top players immediately re-design the Set strategy and completely break the game again.
Ugh why doesn't ES hire Shiautz and Salska or something. Honestly, how many top-25 players do they have on their playtest team?
BTW I'm not trying to beat up on ES here or insult them, I'm just stressing the point that Set has been too broken for too long. He has been dominating for about 1/3rd of the time that this game has existed. If anyone can dispute what I'm saying, go right ahead, but don't cut me down just for questioning ES because you know I'm speaking the truth.
