was doing some reading at blizzard forums, saw this random post this garbage:
I thought, what a crock of shit. I quit soon after 1.10, so most of the HLD i did in my D2 career was pre enigma. Back when BvS was a real challenge, Zons were a real threat, and GM Melee duels were fun as no OP runewords meant any champ under 2k HP wasnt a glass cannon.
i understand its prolly here to stay, but i will just say i hope duping and botting doesnt make it so that HR is common items so OP garbage doesnt effect the spirit of the game, which most of us agree, is itemization.
Nope, that guy was completely correct in what he said.
Enigma is the only thing that kept some classes viable and equal amongst each other for pvp.
Not only that but Enigma teleportation made the game a unique source of pvp that provided quite a large skill ceiling in terms of who was good and who wasn't.
Enigma is largely responsible for the hardcore player base sticking around for 20 years and it defined everything that felt "D2" about Diablo 2 pvp.
