Let me understand this Ozy,

You Banned 100-400 dmg 66% ds weapon unique
Cause is not fair 10$ pixel

You allowed 300-400 dmg 40% ds +1600 attack rating weapon rare
Cause is fair 1000 $ pixel
Or any other 40% ds fools or cruel whatever pixels legendary mallets, baxes, rods whatever?

Its fair to whom?
Is this real?

First time i read this ladder topic and im surprised whats going on in here.

Dear Melee Players,

Hey, I’m Ozymandias. I’ve been dueling in D2R all-class melee for a long time, and I want to bring my vision of fairness to life.
For years, I’ve believed that fun, competitive play starts with a fair playing field—because without fairness, what’s the point?

I’ve pushed for key changes in D2R melee, and while they’ve been adopted by many groups, they weren’t always welcomed at first.
I’ve even been banned from some ladders for challenging the status quo—but in the end, the game is better for it:

✅ Voting in D2R ladders – Before, admins made all the decisions. Now, many groups let players vote on rules.
✅ Class balancing – Melee used to be wildly unbalanced, but we’ve made progress:

1️⃣ Barbs went from irrelevant to a viable class.
2️⃣ Zeals used to get steamrolled by Furies, but with Death, they actually stand a chance.
3️⃣ Zons were tearing through everyone with Inner Sight 20—lowering it to Inner Sight 10 made matchups much more reasonable.

But there’s one more change I’ve always wanted to make. It’s been controversial, so I’m launching a new ladder to make it happen.

Let’s cut to the chase—there’s nothing fair about getting smacked around by $10 weapons.
🎉That’s why I’m starting a GM Melee ladder with NO EDC🎉

If you’re tired of the “I’m too poor for a good weapon” excuse from players decked out in expensive gear while swinging an EDC,
this is your chance to break free from the nonsense.

Let’s make D2R melee as fair and fun as it should be.
