I can't be bothered to read all this but I'd like to pretend I have so that I can soapbox my own agenda to help the teams and playstyles that I like and nerf those that I struggle against under the thin pretence of balance.

please take this post as my input to that effect Wink

I couldn't be bothered to read all this, but I'd like to pretend I have so that I can soapbox my own opinion to rally against nerfing all the OP teams I enjoy playing in this unbalanced environment & keep all the teams I can bash on easily under the thin pretenSe of sarcasm.

Please take this post as my input to that effect Wink

There, fixed it for you! Laughing

It's pretence because it's spelt that way in British English. As an aside whilst visiting Minnesota I was once asked "so what's your native language?". However I don't want to turn this into a conversation about whose version of the language is "better".

Nevertheless, your "correction" is misguided.

I was trying to use humour to remind us to guard against the dangers of making sweeping changes based on what vocal groups want without a thorough and non-biased evaluation of the meta, win rates and so forth.

Humour works better when it's funny. Wink

How thorough was the evaluation before releasing the current rules?

I find that humour is funniest when I agree with it, and of much lower quality when I disagree with it.
