I'm a Gwent player since closed beta that had always mained MO.
Ever since I have recollection, MO have ALWAYS gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to balancing, new cards, buffs and nerfs.

But lately I have noticed an even greater gap between MO and all of the other factions.

It is always the same with MO, once in every 10 patches they receive an specially single good card, everyone complains about it, they nerf it to the ground and then proceed to forget about MO existence until another "broken" card comes along and makes them repeat the process.

When it comes to monsters it is just taking away and nothing else, They add new MO cards>Turns out a single one of them is overtuned while the rest are mediocre at best> Everyone complains> They nerf or HOTFIX> CDPR proceeds to forget about all the other useless or mediocre cards they given monsters, leaving monsters to bite the dust.

While it is true that every now and then MO receive a batch update that attempts to revitalize the faction, these updates tend to not be enough, since MO has so many archetypes a couple of changes are not enough unless they scrap and revamp an entire archetype entirely.
How many times have they not tried and failed to improve Death wish and consume? Releasing lackluster support, giving mediocre reworks and time and again they have failed.
It doesn't matter how many changes they implement to an archetype if it's broken from the core it will never work

Only if you give it a specially strong card that holds the archetype together, but then apparently CDPR will hear everyone's complain and nerf it to the ground, it has happened several times before, for instance:

• Viy was nerfed alongside a leader and other consume cards and to this day it has been left exactly the same even though the powercreep of the game could allow everything to return.
• Gernichora was HOTFIXED
• Mammuna was severely nerfed.
• Scratch a lot was nerfed even though the rest of the thrive archetype is dire need of a buff.

And I could go back even further with vampires or Dettlaff.

My point is, what is your grudge against monsters?

Why when everyone complains about monsters you are quick to nerf and remove but when everyone complains about almost any other thing you don't do anything (or barely anything) at all?

It happened with the Eist 40 point slam that is still available to this day, of course not as impactful (due to powercrep) but in it's time was unstoppable.
It happened again with Golden Nekker, Sihil and some others.

CDPR, stay consistent, give monsters the support and love they deserve.
