i wouldnt be surprised if one of the blizz project managers thought they heard someone tell them that the term "Hustle" was cultural appropriation

Did they ever explain why they changed the name?

Seems odd considering there are several runewords that can be made in multiple gear slots.

people complained at hustle's release that the name was too contemporary.

oh Hustle exists... within the D2 Hustlers ofc.

Quick question on the topic of name changes

Who here knows the original name of Tal Rasha's Guardianship?

hustle doesnt work on rotw because there is no ladder

so my next question is chronicles are separated from sc and hc

how about ladder vrs non ladder chronicles would be insane in a 1 ladder season and no1 plays hc nl

It was a stupid Gen Z style rw name that didn’t fit the vibe of all the other rw names
Good riddance

Yeah, seems like they don’t want to create different versions like there were 08s back in LOD. No collecting of prepatch items for d2r
