Let's Balance MapleLegends!

So since my last post, more people have responded, putting us at 66 total responses!

Overall Findings



Based on the idea of "random sampling", if we choose a random group of people it should unbiasedly represent the total population. Imagine splitting a room up into two sides, there should be roughly same amount of people wearing glasses on each side. Besides marksmen, it seems most other classes are similarly represented as we'd see. Range of 7-12. Bishops being the highest because well, everyone has a bishop mule.



Seems bucc, MM, and paladins are still the favorite for buffs. Bishops and NLs are considered OP, but let's be real, they're not going to get nerfed XDDD

Class Specific

Spoiler

• Bowmasters: seem to be a bit top skewed 7+, probably indicating it's fairly strong and balanced at the moment.
• Marksmen: bottom heavy, indicating it's lacking in some areas (look below for more detailed responses)
• Mages: ... everywhere, but that's my bad for just grouping all the mages into one
• Corsairs: bottom heavy too, you could see it as either they aren't balanced because too OP or too weak. From the NERFS question, it seems no one wants to nerf corsairs, so it's probably because they're too weak (not damage wise, but maybe quality of life, and effort needed to succeed with them)
• Buccaneers: no one seems to think they're strong or balanced (properly correlates with the strong urge for buffs)
• Nightlords: fairly evenly distributed across with a peak at 4 and peak at 8. Probably because of the people that think they're too strong, as we can see from the NERFS question.
• Shadowers: top heavy, but most responses seem to put them at a 6.
• Dark Knights: a bit more top heavy than shadowers, with most responses putting them at 8.
• Heroes: seem to be placed solidly at 8, with balanced responses to both sides (lower and higher)
• Paladins: surprisingly a lot of people putting them at 7 and 8. pretty bottom heavy with an equal amount putting them at 6 or lower.
