Don't ever fall into the trap of saying good game balance prevents fotm/minmaxing/etc
It reduces its effect, it will never prevent it

Okay, good game balance... combined with the cost of the respec which will likely make it not worth it for very small gains in benefit.
thats a much better statement, you are learning young padawan

I dont think you understand how balancing or development works mate, the quest for balance will always be ongoing and stopping is a ******** idea
development of a game does not stop because a small team that isnt in charge of development ends up working on balancing
(P.S. Balancing takes into account the skill difference of players via the use of razors, it doesnt give them a handicap because "they are too good")

You may wish to check the post he made today, it has pretty graphs and charts and explains a lot about the balance process. :) I didnt say anything about forum whining though when discussing Rattati. I read his post before, that he wishes to discourage FOTM by way of nerfing. In fact he has nerfed items before based on a high usage percentage. Paid respecs give way to tipping the balance even further.
There is a difference between "high usage %" and "high usage % coupled with high performance on average"

Oh well, I will return later...got breakfast cooking.
Ah, my time spent helping multiple games with balancing and then winning thier tournaments must mean i'm wrong then
It couldn't possibly be that a scrub like you is wrong, we wouldn't ever think about that :P
(i do like forums that allow me to say scrub, did you know the RSI forums instantly ban you if you say scrub or carebear?)
