Blizzard has lost almost 29% of its overall active playerbase in three years

Dragoon pathing is actually a bug where the dragoons think they're smaller than they are IIRC. They just never patched it because it ended up becoming a part of the accepted balance.

I think its because their model changed their hitbox as they moved. So while their pathing was calculated at one point of the animation they could no longer fit and would re-path or something to that extent.

I wish people would do this today. Release your game and let the rules be the rules.

Last year, Magic: the Gathering announced "by all our metrics, we consider the metagame healthy. So we're doing something we've never done before: we're banning a bunch of cards purely for the sake of change."
