D1 PvP was very chaotic and was played VERY heavily for 3 straight years by casual players, hardcore players, and competitive streamers. (They even had tournaments.) The reason the chaotic imbalance was ok is because it made D1 PvP unique and fun. It wasn't just like every other fast ttk PvP out there. I mean hell Call of Duty freaking copied D1 supers if that tells you anything about it's success. It wasn't balanced but it was fun. It allowed for a variety of weapons and playstles. It wasn't perfect but it definitly achieved longevity. Changing it completely to a slow paced one size fits all borefest was a terrible decision. I think everybody hoped they had learned from the past 3 years and figured out how to reel the balance in a bit while still giving us that fast paced chaotic fun PvP we loved for 3 years.
