Diablo 2's core focus has always been PvE, so PvP balance has largely been an afterthought for the developers. I don't think it will generate them enough revenue to justify the effort, so they won't care.

I'll just stick to mainstream pvp games such as DOTA2 and league to satisfy that pvp itch. I'd rather play DOTA2 on my immortal account than fighting another opponent with 0 CD blink dagger and abyss that 1 taps people in pub games with close to 0 counterplay.

D4 is lacking in PvP community/mechanics as well. Somehow immortal received the best PvP mechanics in the franchise.

Yeah. I'm not sure about D2 Immortal, but I remember hearing about someone who spent over $500,000 and eventually became so OP that the matchmaking system could barely find opponents for him
