My two cents on balancing games: pros play the game how it is intended to be played, it is the & #39;peak& #39; ideal of how the game is meant to be. So the game should ALWAYS be balanced for the pros. It& #39;s not because pros are more important than other players.

The reason your average ranked player or casual player doesn& #39;t play in the same & #39;meta& #39; as the pros is because they& #39;re playing the game, essentially, wrong. The intended teamwork or utility usage isn& #39;t there. Why would you balance a game for the people who play it incorrectly?

It& #39;s fine to be casual or below the top performers in a game, but if you decide to not play the game as it is designed to be, you don& #39;t get to whine when the game is balanced to match its intended design over your own experience.
