What Wizz has "wizzed" by is the old adage "The Customer is Always right".
Of course, they aren't, but in the end without them, there is not product. Right or wrong, if enough people leave due to what they deem as "horrible game play", and there is no product. The task for the product developer (HTC in this case) is to balance the changes to the product to the max benefit. If everyone was quitting because there was no rainbow colored tanks, then if it were me, I would paint a tank in rainbow colors if I wanted to stay in business. Of course, if this is just a very vocal minority, and no one is actually leaving, then it's fine. Wizz, if you can't understand that simple concept, I got nutt'n left for ya.
