Stop the Prune!

Don't worry, they are stripping utilities from melee too, so that everyone is equally terrible!

Go alpha and play 2s against double melee as a caster/caster or caster/healer. You'll see by yourself.

It's ridiculous that people believe the number of abilities largely affects the complexity of the game. It's even more ridiculous to think that this pruning issue is a matter of hardcore vs casual.

Is it really "hardcore" to learn 3 more abilities in a rotation? You'll still get used to it after a day. The real complexity should come from the situation. I'd rather have 5 skill-shot abilities than an 8 ability rotation. My point is that there are more important things that give the game complexity than the number of buttons you can press.

And that's why developers develop their own game, and not the players. Look at DotA, your hero has 4 abilities and the game has a skillcap beyond WoW's wildest dreams.
