Honestly, yes. I used to be in the "just buff other things" camp, and while Diablo 3 is fun enough, it already shows what happens when you do that.
Build diversity > screen go boom.
Honestly, no. I guess the biggest difference is as a father of 3, I have like 5 hours to play in a week. And I want to enjoy some of the power.
Diablo 4 shows what happenels when you nerf builds midcycle - you are in a constant cycle of "I finally reached the power level of the top build, people are playing for week, finally I can enjoy it, oh they nerfed it the very same day, but here is another build I have to spend my week farming to, repeat for weeks, stop playing"
Enjoyment of power level > some potential variance of builds I never would care or have time to play.
Diablo 3 is so much more fun than 4.
I started season 3 in D4, after skipping season 2 and not finishing season 1. I got to level 45 or so, read that D3's newest season was awesome, so I figured I'd check it out. Never went back to D4.
D3, for all its faults, is so much more fun and engaging.
