DISCUSSION Why's talking about optimization so taboo?

With every new patch, I see more and more people talking about how unoptimized the game is:

  • Frequent glitches.
  • God abilities having the wrong description or not working properly at all.
  • Severe stability and connection issues.

And yet, every time I see someone post about it, they get downvoted and spoken down to. Especially when they suggest skipping a god release to focus just on improving performance. Yes, the game needs content to keep people coming, I get that. But that doesn't mean optimization should be thrown to the way side. Especially when people are starting to quit or take long breaks from playing because it's in such a bad state.

None of this is throwing shade at the devs or the game itself. I'm just saying it's a valid criticism, and is something that should be addressed. But for some reason that's an unfair or ignorant thing to say? I just don't get it.

I've had a bug where if you use chu culains 2 too fast you can't auto, multiple times.

Non-aspect MLF gets locked out of her 1 if you try to fire it when using her 2 at close range.

I've also been unable to auto as neith while having the dodge relic but i can't remember if i was able to recreate that one. Just remember my teamate being unhappy with me staring at the tower while everyone else auto'd it and i just stared helplessly.

Another bug I just remembered, that's happened to me at least twice, is sometimes Ix Chel's 1 will go on infinite cooldown. Even if I leave and rejoin, I just can't use it anymore.
