I'm interested to see how Embark addresses HLL meta
This photo is from a cashout round from the current PHL tournament. All teams running HLL.
I'm not here to vomit complaints like "Light OP". Yes, they bother me, but I get that they are glass cannons and therefore are deadly in the right hands.
I'm coming more to express my interest in what Embark is going to adjust to make Medium more valuable and Light less so. *I don't want Light's viability to die*, but this shows there is too much value and not enough downside to taking 2 lights.
I also do not subscribe to the conspiracies that Light is somehow privileged to Embark. We have seen in many instances that when one of the other classes (medium and heavy) received a buff that swung too far in their favor - BFR, repeater, demat changes such as delay and charges, mesh health, and more - a change was made quickly. Similarly, when Light has received nerfs (e.g. 1 glitch nade) that jeopardized its value, the change was reversed almost immediately. This is to show that Embark, in general, reverts and/or addresses changes they made that swing the balance too drastically.
This HLL meta is no different. No mediums anywhere in a tournament cashout is a clear indication that something is not right. So, I am looking forward to how Embark will address this and to do so as quickly as possible.
If they DON'T address this with some amount of haste, then I actually do think that would be hard evidence that Light DOES get preferential treatment, which would be really disappointing.
