Diablo 4’s Items Are in Dire Need of One of Two Changes

While the early launch experience of Diablo 4 was considered an incredible success in many regards, public opinion and general consensus shifted toward a more negative perception once the game’s first season launched in July. This is mostly due to the fact that the game received unpopular patches where every class saw its best abilities, talents, and items being nerfed a bit too hard, but the seasonal loop didn’t really help the case due to how limited the scope of Season of the Malignant in Diablo 4 truly is. Season 2 and future updates should be aimed at winning players back and restoring morale within the community, and Blizzard could start by fixing itemization in one of two ways.
