They ask for feedback on ptr about what clade is the strongest competitively, you really think 80% Alvarin playerbase will vote for their own class to get nerfed? They all vote game is balanced.
Democratic balancing is nuts. Go watch any video, it's majority alvarin, talk to any vet without implying nerfs so they don't get defensive, Alvarin is the best at 95% of situations that actually come up. They are the most popular at all builds. The only clade other than Alvarins with some identity left is Oghmir in zvz frontlines, but Alvarins are as important in zvz and more popular (again watch videos don't go by your gut instict)

Nerf already, it's embarassing.

They should reduce the Alvarin's strength by 25% to be fair... their damage is very close to that of other races... running absurdly fast, they are by far the most popular race in the game, 80% of warriors are Alvarin.

You are asking zergs and alvarins if we should add more zerg content and if alvarins are fine basically, super biased responeses, which means you are losing on massive amount of potential players who don't play because other playstyles don't work, and by asking the people left playing, you keep avoiding nerfing the playstyles that are making others unabel to play.

We need an antizerg mechanic versus magic and archery, Alvarins need a nerf already, it's embarassing.

You do know that nobody from SV reads this forums right?

Its just MO1 boomers here
This took 2 minutes to write their official game forums has Alvarins being op being spammed not just by me either. Thats something.

You still see many humans and Oghimir mages... however, in dungeons you only see Alvarin because the others aren't as viable for dungeons, while in the open world the variety is balanced. Now, Alvarin fighters are 80% in all scenarios... I haven't seen a human warrior in months.

If by "many" you mean less than 30% combined vs 70% sheevras then sure. Sheevra mages are way more popular than Oghmir and Human mages combined not even close. Idk what you guys are comparing the pick rates to to throw around the words like "many" do they exist? Yes. Are there many? Not even close. Sheevras dominate pick rates.

I'll go as far to say there is more Thursar and Oghmir footies relative to Alvarins versus fatmages relative to sheevras. I mean literally no fatmage is ever seen until you go 10+ deep the build is useless without tons of peelers.
