Not even my point of view. Quoting Zantai on this : 1.1.5.0 update and my dissapointment with it and general rant
Summary
At no point did we say that was the plan, so if that was your
expectations, you’ve misinterpreted the previews.
Epics were always intended as entry-level items that serve as a
stepping stone to build-defining Legendaries or exceptional Monster
Infrequents.
What we did do though is update Epics to better serve that role and
give players still progressing a leg up into the endgame (and a more
enjoyable leveling experiencethrough better drops).
