Balance based on data. Not based on crying in a discord or reddit.
Mega Crit are well known for their use of data for balancing - it’s arguably one of the reasons why Slay the Spire 1 has been such a success.
Yes, but this asshole should be an elite.

100%, this enemy just murders me when I run a shiv deck.
I agree, fellow tuna. That enemy is rough!
Certainly has elite-like mechanics.
I played before and after the patch without even knowing they did a balance patch and didn’t really find it any different than before. Only after I looked at the patch notes was I like “oh yeah, that was a little different” and went on to play a couple more runs.
All I’m saying is, in general, most people probably do not even notice. I used to play Overwatch with my friends and would never pay attention to balance updates. I’d be playing my favorite heroes and my friends would say halfway through the game “oh yeah, did you see [blank] got nerfed?” And unless the update was dramatically different I’d literally be like “really? Seems fine to me.”
Although, some of the main enemies should really be elites. But I’m sure we all agree on that.
