Meta & Viability

[Prestige]

I just wish they did tune the weaker trees. Like example Magma got buffed and then apparently nerfed again.

Or take Riptide as an example. A tree that really doesn't offer much. Even the Rings are terrible.

Compared to say Occult, Holy or Cosmic, which have plenty of choices already.

magma wasn't as bad as ppl made it to be, and now it's one of the strongest trees you can pair (both for mages and melee, isn't that funny). 20 dmg homing, an aoe that's better than occult/holy with a 20 secs cd... an invul. great aura. amazing tree.

riptide isn't a bad tree either, i'm afraid. people love to hate on stuff that they don't see used because... that's the way it is in the community, i guess. crystal was treated the same before the TS, despite many of us knowing that it was extremely strong and nobody cared to go for it.

the truth of the matter is: most times the 'meta' doesn't actually exist but you see a lot of builds being repeated because people are too scared to try something new.
