Such as what? That's not me being snarky - For real, what fixes/balancing things do you think need done? If there's problems you feel need to be fixed, say what they actually are instead of just non-constructively mouthing off about an update you don't personally like.
Fullblown non-playing lurker since 26/06/17. May come back if both the devs and the MTX team get their bloody act together.

I don't care what the strength pet is but if it's idle animation does not involve posing to show off his/her gains then this update is a failure,

Better yet just make it a barbell that rolls around behind you, and add in an animation where if you run on top of it you trip and stub your toe

For anybody that is good at drawing I have a couple ideas available if you want to design them. Just toss a little credit my way if you submit them.

Ranging (Legless) - Robin Hood meets Legolas. How I view it would be Robin Hood if he was an elf. He would also be missing a leg as a nod to range being weak to melee in game. Idle animation would be him leaning on a bow. Alternatively a pet based on Achilles would be good.

Constitution (Healga?) - Based off of Airmed, the Celtic goddess of healing and resurrection. Idle animation would occasionally heal* the player with a beam similar to Mercy. *Not actually

**** now the forums eats my post I forgot what half of it was

I don't have a list. I never imagined I'd be posting about this because I really don't believe they care. "Look how we communicate with our players, yay runefest! Jagex is so awesome!" is them just being friends with people.
Basically, they're release so much "new" stuff, keeping the vast majority, mindless grinders ("YAY 120 [skill] WOOT ALL THOSE 200 NETFLIX HOURS FINALLY OMG" "IM SO MANY XP DRY WHERE IS MY [SKILL] PET? WTF JAMFLUX?&quot ;) entertained with these kinds of new content.

The one I'm most pissed about is the concentrated blast "rework" (adding critical strike chance is a rework now). That ability got nerfed so long ago and only just recently finally got looked at again. I thought they just didn't have any animators to make a new ability animation for an actual rework but now there's talks for combat pets? Which will need animations too, a lot of animations...

Recent stuff that comes to mind (again, no list. forgot ~4 things rewriting this.idk how jagex works)
bash cd reduction and damage calculation change
concentrated blast is still rubbish compared to sonic wave
dazing shot changes? Still happening after 3+ months?
AoD aggro/people going MD during and after special attacks
abil queueing improvements

Personal one: Differences between dw and 2h isn't significant enough. Melee is the only one that differs a lot. DW range is cool, with needle strike, chins and bolas, 2h though? I guess shieldbow? Magic is only attack speed difference for utility and conc blast vs sonic wave.

I wish I could help me being so addicted to this game. So sickened about at least the last 8 months.

There was a concept with a newt in a magic hat on reddit a few months back on reddit i feel that would be the perfect magic pet

That's Newton. :)

And Newton has just been formally submitted into this competition! Wish him luck!

And good luck to all the other submissions as well! I've got a few favorites from reddit I hope to see make it into the vote (Newton included of course but that's totally bias on my end, lol), but I hope to see even more great ideas!
