The weapon meta feels very stale right now, both in PvP and PvE.
In PvE, It seems that 90% of the leaderboard is currently dominated by Jade for almost 6 months now. Weapons like Tank Modao can get their spot replaced in speedruns by a player who runs Tank Spear + Vernal Umbrella. For other paths, the damage gap compared to Jade can feel huge too. Without an umbrella in your team, the chances of you having an equal chance in competing against Jade is almost 0, hence making a lot of the PvE players lean towards Jade/Fanbrella.
For PvP, I am aware people were also hoping for a balance change recently as the meta feels very stale. But they weren’t any balance changes when 1.6 was released. Private arena and MMR-based match making were released, but nothing else changed
Personally I think having balance changes is important so that people can also try something new. Having to play the same meta for almost 6 months feels very boring and stale. Other weapons can slowly start to feel underwhelming to play as well.
I also understand localisation can be a huge issue due to rumors of WWM Global Team lacking in manpower. All in all I just hope we can see some balance changes as the current meta does feel very stale, both in pvp and pve
