If there is one thing quite sad about this, it's that community management somewhat mislead people into believing things would be kept untouched until end of league, just before this nerf.

Every normal person understands that and its pretty common to todays online games.
Most of you need to understand what that means.
Best analogy ive found here is:
"Its like you bought a car from GGG and then they take away the engine"

To be honest , thats absolutely not accurate, a better analogy would be:

"you borrow a car from a friend and he tells you you can use it for one month. After 14 Days he comes to you and says that he needs his car back"

If i transfer behaviour from some comments here in that analogy it would sound like
"Oh no my (not any longer) friend, you told me that i can use it for a month and now you want it back, you are such a liar and i hate you. I even bought that smelly christmas tree but cant even use it any longer..."

You all behave like those Zombies in World War Z when they crush through the streets like a wave of flesh and anger...

One thing i know for sure, when all of you angry people really leave, the forums will be a much better non-so-toxic place.
Thats a good thing .

Gonna be fun for the next leagues having to wonder if the build you invest your money in is going to be nerfed the next day.

Broke all the trust, made it easier to stop playing this game.

This could all be fixed with a little play testing. After like 6 years of playing this game, I am convinced you guys do almost none.

These builds are too broken, and really it wasn't even a stretch to imagine that. How are all these jewels not limited to 1? Stacking almost anything in this game leads to broken mechanics.

Bad time to mess up a league considering Im getting free government money and tons of free playtime.

I don't get that either. All the notables on the passive tree are limited to one. Then GGG creates new notables on jewels, where the jewels are not unique, and hence multiple copies of said new notables can be chosen. When I first heard of the cluster jewels, my first thought was, someone is going to stack multiple copies of notables and break something. Sure enough. Here we are.

I'm not real sure how GGG didn't know this was going to happen in the first place, and do something up front to ensure multiple copies of notables were not controlled in some manner. The Purposeful Harbinger and End Bringer notables being abused are only OP because the game allows multiple copies of them. If they were limited to one like all the other notables on the tree there would not be a problem.
