Streamers Impact On Wow

So let me get this straight so were all on the same page ,

Asmongold goes to an m0 run ( totally irrelevant when it comes to balance scaling samples ) and soloes a couple of packs when he’s complete clueless party dies while hes doing it , and the next day they nerf Tanks .

Max plays enhancement shaman/ww monk on beta and does a couple of keys and they nerf enh by 25 % the next day ,

Max goes on youtube and makes a tierlist about healer tiersets and puts MW monk at the very top ( that he dosnt even play and almost has no clue about the class atleast gameplay wise ), the next day it gets nerfed … and the list goes on i could continue but i feel like this is enough

Meanwhile there’s multiple people who are class experts for example someone like Azor or Kalamazi critcake or anyone whos an expert at playing a specific class at a high level and they have extreme knowledge about what their class looks like and what their doing make expert opinions about whats wrong about the class and whats right , what needs to be buffed and what needs to be nerfed if needed and they completely get ignored . ( take hunter for example and its current state , im not a hunter fan im just mentioning one example )

im wondering if they are generally that Naive to think that everyone who streams a game and has a good amount of viewers that means they could be used as expert opinions , or they just love the fact that someone streams their game and they wanna give them some props . i really do wonder which ones the case

So, some streamers notice something is really powerful, blizzard nerfs these things. Therfore conspiracy or bliz naive or something? Ok.

It’s a live stream. Everyone can watch it. Live streams are a goo way to check if things are okay or not when it comes to developers. I dont see anything wrong with this.

The only problem I have is that they balance from M0 tuning. Nothing should ever be balanced around M0 as it’s irrelevant content on wednesday. Poor brewmaster monks are now forced into kiting while nothing happens for prot warr because they aren’t even using def stance.

yeah but they dont understand that kind of stuff do they ? cause they never play tank or the game at any high level to have any of these understandings , the nerf they just did based on an m0 content is completely wrong and it dosnt change anything for that particular content , you can hope on to an m0 next week without getting any gear and still do the same thing :smiley: its amazing how clueless they are yet they have expert opinion about the stuff that they dont even understand the basics of them

Streamers have no impact on the game thank goodness and blizz ignores them. The tuning is done over a long period of time and data driven.

You may see patterns but coincidence is not causality.

It’s real companies don’t change their product just because one person demonstrates something it a particular setting.

We dont even know how it will work for the raid and just like nathria where heroic chainman was very overtuned

(Companies) blizzard is a little to far away from being one , considering its reputation lately , but hey if thats how you think base on what we have on hand ( which are facts ) then your the kind of guy who cant be argued with , your right they dont .

I mean, you’re not one to talk, you have your conclusion and try to fit the evidence to that conclusion :rofl:

I’m pretty sure Blizzard doesn’t need to rely on Asmongold to know tanks aren’t taking enough damage.
This sounds an awful lot like “I farted and it immediately started raining. Coincidence? I think not.”
It also sounds like “the people who’ve been working on this game for 20 years are clueless and naive, they should hire me instead”.

they literally mentioned why they nerfed tanks . not in a complete direct way but if you read the post it literally describes what asmongold was doing a day before it happen :smiley: trust me dude they are ( including you ) that naive , its not about me being a smart person its about you being a clueless person who just cant see whats right in front of them .

i cant upload a screenshot of that text below the nerf description cause im not t3 but i would if i could . just to show you how clueless you are , although i doubt that would change anything

My friend solo’d packs as well, conclusion, tanks were nerfed because my friend could solo packs.

Irrefutable evidence that.

This is exactly the same phrasing a flat-earther would use. You should really learn the fine art of making verifiable claims, before calling other people clueless or naive.
Besides, are you even playing the game? All tanks were taking low damage, I’ve seen healers complain they have nothing to do for days before the nerf, it was a discussed and well known issue. But sure, Asmongold alone prompted the change, because you really really want to believe that for whatever reason. Whoever contradicts you is naive, the devs are clueless, Max has no clue. We’re all honoured to be witnessing all the clues you have.

Cognitive confirmation bias, if it fits your underlying beliefs then you accept it as truth without objective critique. It what drives conspiracy theorists.

and you think this change was more of a long term studied fit for this problem ? and had nothing to do with the recent events . oh and btw will this nerf change any of those problems that you mentioned above ? cause i dont know mr expert i really like to know your input about .

i already heard from some RWF tanks and some very high end m+ tanks that it wont change anything regarding the healing problem but to be honest i think those ppl are clueless and i think your a mastermind so i just really wanna know if you think this change was the well thought through long term studied way go to , or it was just an instant reaction to a complete false recent event painted by some +100k viewer streamer

Are you seriously using this sarcasm after blasting in and calling everyone beside you clueless?
Also “Blizzard is so dumb for listening to these people, how naive, they should listen to these other people instead”.
Hopefully they’ll nerf you so you’ll be 10% less cringe.

now it seems like you just ran out of answers and your just running away , what a surprise . as i thought you have no clue how things work in the game , you just popped here to ramble around about some stuff that you have no clue about with no evidence to back your word up or any kind of logical leading conversation , my conclusion your just a fan a very angry one

my advise put reasons before emotion your life .

You’re reaching a lot of conclusions today champ.
Maybe tone it down a little. xD
