Tim did this hot take. I like how well-spoken and calm this player is. That said he seems to draw the exact opposite conclusion as some people who also tried 2.5 and/or supposedly heard the same AMG dev conversations. I wanted to post a contrarian view and get the conversation started.  I'd like to know why he feels the game is more balanced now.  Thanks sincerely both, for sharing.
