As the title says I love this game, the combat is fluid if you are good, and the defending works and it generally look and feels amazing (favourite character atm is Conqueror btw). However, the only thing I have issue with is that the weapons and armour variants actually increase stats somewhat, which I feel they shouldn't. I know that most of them are only minor buffs, but a buff is a buff. I think all customization should be purely cosmetics only, so your character's base stats will always remain the same, meaning its does not become play/pay to win (if the begin to allow you to buy items). If they do change this I believe that it will make the game purely skill based as there will be no help from the armour or weapons you have. Furthermore it will also allow the cosmetics to be sold for actual money (and randomly dropped) so they could still make money out of it. Lastly, I do believe is they removed the stats bonuses from the weapons and armour this game could become an E-Sport, which I do hope it does. Thank you for reading this, if you did, and I am welcome to any criticism of my thoughts.
I have to disagree, the stats are a trade off of one vs the other - it allows you to slightly customize your character to your play style. The concern is more of a high level vs low level maybe but technically that will even out eventually and if rather have a way to have variants in my characters then static from the start.
Id like to hope no micro transactions BUT who knows...
I thought I read somewhere that eventually there will be negative items as well like + damage you will lose revenge build or something if that eases your thoughts.
