Disgusted with Paladins 1.10

As I've said before, it can be advocated as a way of balancing skill progression more smoothly from start to finish.

But it has a cost: character diversificafion.

Sure, it might be a horrible solution. But, if you ask me, it looks firmly entrenched as the solution, whether we like it or not.

If one keeps that in mind, I think that one can critique synergies better. Rather than saying how a particular synergy is bad because it doesn't fit an entirely different goal.

If you decide that the end game will be balanced for a lvl 60-80 main skill, it means you're forcing players into a few pre-determined builds.
It can work.

BUT diversification is one the goals advertised by Blizzard.

Well, that's where synergies done well CAN promote some diversity. Like using Bone Spirit on single opponents and Bone Spear on groups. It may not be much, but before nobody would ever use both. Also, Blizzard may have meant diversity in different builds as much or more than diversity in skills for one character. Allowing Fire Blast to be pumped every character level creates one more unique build that is (hopefully) viable.
