What is Power Creep? How an Unstoppable Disease Might Be Infecting Your Game

by devaccess



It’s already infected your favourite game, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

It’s something that you’ll see people constantly complaining about online, but many don’t know what it is, or how challenging it can be.

If your game gets new characters, items, cards or weapons on a regular basis, you’ve almost certainly experienced how annoying it is.

Power creep. What the hell is this infuriating nonsense and where did it come from?

Power creep is definitely most prevalent in Hearthstone. Just look at how card draw has been devalued over the years.

Yep, League is seriously getting worse with power creep and there is no attempts to try and remedy it.

Power creep in fortnight? How? And as for Dota, the balancing of heroes is adapted every half year so all heroes get viable from time to time, sometimes in a different position (1-5) changing its complete playstyle…better than introducing new shot

Power creep can be stopped. Look at destiny they're nerfing the best power weapons to stop the creep

Shows Moira when talking about power creep even though she's the least played support in the game at higher levels. She might be a little easier to play than other supports, but she's not outright better

I know that it might be your main focus, but one of the best examples of power creep is gacha games. Dbz Dokkan Battle has literally been making better units that you have to roll for at a ridiculous rate.

I remember Vayne was a power creep when she was released. At the time LoL didn’t have much choice for ADC, except Ashe and the ADC gameplay is pretty much feed early carry late. In comes a mobile assassin-like ADC that can kill people at lv 3, can solo almost everyone and can still be a nightmare late game. She was very overpowered until they nerfed her later.
