Remove Luke Smith as director at Bungie. Assign someone else.

The Issue
Apparently d2 is mostly based around "Luke's Fantasy land". He states that apparently supers like nova warp don't fit the "warlock identity" so they are going to cut it.
Apparently he liked the idea of titans not having a roaming super in d1 year 1. Because it matched their "identity" even though it was a big complaint from titans mains back then. But community feedback doesn't matter as "Luke's Fantasy Land" is the biggest priority.
"As classes have gotten new Supers over the years — during Taken King, Forsaken, and Beyond Light — there’s been less of a reason to bring multiple different classes to a raid or Nightfall." (Author)
This is delusional and simply not true. Back in d1y1 you never brought a hunter into a raid. They had no place. In d2y1 titans were only good for melting point and that was it, it wasn't until banner shield that titans were used in last wish.
In beyond light all the stasis subclasses are being used equally, until they nerfed warlock to the ground.
So either the balance team and people who make the subclasses aren't doing good at making all the subclasses shine. Or the director and author are wrong with how they see the game. I'm going to go with the second option.
The balance team had buffed the older classes to make them relevant.
-Solar class buffs
-Arc Week buffs
These updates made some of the useless subclass trees very good. Think bottom tree striker, Top tree Dawnblade, Top Tree Arcstrider, and much more.
What made destiny have its IP identity is not the subclasses. It was the loot, the mix of pvp and pve. The first FPS raids, the exotics and the fact the studio that brought you halo made a new game.
If I wanted a golden gun I could play golden eye, if I wanted a smash attack I'll play Black ops 3 or 4. Subclasses are not destinys identity.
People like nova warp, they just want to see it BUFFED. Where did luke get the idea people wanted forsaken supers removed. They shipped with the expansion that brought life to a dying game.
All in all this artical is delusional and is a twisted "Fantasy Land" that should never become reality. The communitys feedback should matter more then one person's "Fantasy Land".
Bungie remove Luke Smith.
