Mineko,

I hope you weren't actually expecting this individual to take precious seconds considering a truth beyond their own.

That would be silly.

Humanity was not built to comprehend their own failures readily. Otherwise, we'd have never been able to overpopulate the world.

Hyperbole and heresay is a much easier way to exist. That's just science.

On topic, however, I did like the overall change in penetration, and I didn't think they were as severe as everyone believed. What they actually accomplished was making it so items featuring flat penetration values didn't have to be literally tossed out the window once the game hit the 20-25 min mark. It always felt so wrong to build something only to be forced to sell it because of how an equation was ordered, rather than necessity in counter building and such.

That could just be me, though.
