This might be a spicy opinion but sometimes I wonder if the design teams at blizzard are predominately creative types and backgrounds, and they don't have anyone vocal with a mathematics, statistics, simulation, etc. background.

It's kind of a pattern that they try to balance or tune something and a lot of people immediately realize just with napkin math something doesn't look right. They definitely have a reputation of tuning with a sledge hammer.

Wasn’t this the reason Ian Hazzikostas was hired? He essentially proved with math that a boss in AQ was unlikable with the gear in the game?
