i wasn't talking about allowing tele sticks on chars solely to balance, rather..
it would open up for different ways of playing many of the chars, allowing for more diverse builds.
it's actually fun when assassins and necros can teleport around, also makes it possible for different team composititions or 1v1s even.
while i don't know how that mld experiment turned out, east has been playing with tele sticks for a long time.. looks like that has turned out just fine.
Yes i get what you and everyone else mean, and it's a good thought. I just don't think it works in reality since you'll have even more builds to try and balance.
It was the same story in mld. To make some builds viable a few chars could level to 59, which broke the balance completely. And to fix that we needed to add more rules and the downward spiral was started.
There are a lot of viable builds, i don't think we need more. And just because a build isn't viable enough to win a tournament it doesn't mean people can't build it, a lot of builds work great in tvt and in a lot of 1v1 match ups.
And no one is stopping anyone from having a telestaff in stash and playing with it if the other people are okey with it just as con said, it's just not possible to have a bible of rules for everything. And to have a general ruleset that is viable for tournaments and most duels lines have to be drawn somewhere, and i think it's good enough the way it is right now.
e/ east and eu has always been very different in rulesets. a, b, c tier tournaments haven't been a thing on eu, and we have been fine anyway from what i know.
