I love you as a player, but you have to understand that there will be points/elements of the game on which others will simply (and in some cases) strongly disagree with you. The reason to be on discord (I hope you come back) is so we can have a discussion like this not in the 1995-style forum board.

If you want to understand why you received some of the hate, you have to appreciate that a highly advantageous class (hide, flight, great forms) complaining about someone countering them appears to be well inequitable.

Xzelyx was a hard counter to my D/D combo - I did not cry "nerf critical" / scouts are BS / etc. I found ways to fight him.

If you are looking for harmony - then it's best not to "cry nerf" and then be surprised when others disagree with you.
