I won’t go so far as to say Dennis is making the game for himself. But I do think there is some unconscious bias there that when he tests, he does so with his preferred settings and his preferred playstyle. Without testing all the various users affected, it can be a matter of “oh yeah, that works fine”. The main issue here is that the dev testing does not seem to mimic the variety of player combos and when it hits beta, it’s either that the feedback from actual players is ignored, or it’s too late to change and they just don’t want to admit the test server has little impact on the actual patch.
