I disagree, mate. I mean, it’s difficult to use SR as a means to ascertain what exactly constitutes “top tier” vs “in need of buffs,” especially when Z hasn’t informed us of these thresholds. (E.g. 7:30 in the hands of a good pilot is top tier in the crucible, wth anything slower than thay requiring some buffs, and anything below 6min being OP).
The closest thing to a line in the sand for SR is this: only the strongest builds can take on 75-76. But this was also announced back when aggroabuse had yet to be discovered.
Z is clearly fine with aggroabuse existing as no changes have been made to combat the “problem” (e.g. shrinking the size of boss chunk maps).
But in so doing, no one can reliably use SR as a means to argue for buffs/nerfs to a build. And this in reflected in how balances tend to center around Cr performance.
P.S: the last paragraph is why I think this post is relevant to the thread. Apologies in advance if t isn’t, Medea.
