It’s fun to get to kill things in this game, I don’t think anyone who plays this would disagree. When you run off-meta builds you kill fewer things because those running meta builds have a faster ttk and/or get to move through the map safely because they have infinite TDR/Regen and get to the enemies before you. A strong player on a strong meta build right now does actually diminish the fun of the other three players. Not having to engage with mechanics of the game because one player does so much damage and/or stagger is not fun. Players will always tend towards optimization and they’re incentivized to do so by the game. It’s because of this you must do nerfs on the strongest things. It doesn’t mean rendering them useless nor the removing them as being the strongest thing. If players derive the most fun from deleting all the enemies they always have a lower difficulty they can play to do so. On the highest difficulty, there is nowhere else to go if challenge is what you seek.
