Why ask for nerfs.. (this thread needs ending)

I hate zaul and bored with it. But why do people ask for nerfs when I've never know EA to nerf anyone due to public demand.
The only real nerf that I remember was to mods when they came out originally at super strength. Other nerfs have either been corrections in descriptions (i.e. Barriss) or coding error (Vader I think).
Nerfing anyone after people have paid or worked hard for toons would be a disaster for this game as no one would not be able to strategise for the future in fear of their newly invested toon may became weakened.
So stop asking for nerfs please but rather insist on better game design for the future.
Cheers

The toon or the event?
They also nerfed mods 2 days after release. Major big time hugely. That was quite an exciting time. Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to roast in the depths of a Sloar that day I can tell you.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
*This space left intentionally blank*
They nerfed the tank raid
And they had to lol
Wiggs six months ago was a devastating force to be reckoned with. Shoretroopers auto taunt stopped wiggs in their tracks as does Darth Maul with his daze. So why nerf wiggs then when there are now toons that counter them?
No need for nerfs when new toons counter previous toons.
she's a healer, they aren't suppose to hit hard.
since my time they haven't nerfed anyone that i'm aware of. but i don't call for nerfs because i know i'd be upset if someone called nerf on a toon i use and it happened.
No they didnt
Nerfing is 1 thing - buffing toons to change the landscape (and meta with it) quite another
you don't know anything, there's been plenty of toons nerfed but then again you probably started playing GOH two months ago so you wouldn't have any firsthand knowledge.
Thank you for your warm words and keen insight into the game. I appreciate your contribution to the discussion.
Oh, we ask for improved game design, and more balance. The quality of life update was a huge improvement for me so they do listen to the community. However, we don't know how overpowered characters will be until we start using them to find out. They should do more rigorous testing to ensure that characters will be balanced upon release. Unfortunately, this is a freemium game so they want certain combinations to be overpowered so people will keep chasing the meta and spend more money to do it. They prefer this strategy of releasing more and more powerful characters with some tweaks for older characters to make them more viable, and shift the meta around this way.
Nerfs should happen at times when a new counter or skill is required to be introduced in to the game that breaks much of the general roster - reason is that something like shore for example, he also unnecessarily negates a lot of other toons, shrinking the roster and making many obsolete. Pre-taunt is a poor band-aid for trying to fix speed / early damage issues - which has always been hard for this game to keep in check. Sure Baze and Shore are nice for Wiggs, but they also eliminate the utility of other heroes that didn't need countered - like raid Han. Rather than introduce pre-taunt, adding in more defensive leader skills that punish speed (like Rex) would have been better for balance. They need to make moves that open up the roster, rather than close it down.
I would prefer buffs to old toons vs. nerfs, but if they can't introduce a buff or counter that doesn't break a bunch of other stuff than that particular skill should be discussed for a reduction in utility.
There is always one that can trump another. Then there is also outright skill. Plus RNG here affects the outcome of battle. I've lost to a team, then at times won against that very same team.
Why nerf when you could just rebalance the game out by getting the old more up to par with the new?
It wasn't her damage they nerfed, but her healing
She went from being the best healer to the worst, only thing she had going after that was her Equalizing, which actually was the reason for people screaming for a heal nerf as they didn't understood how Barriss works
