They just need to consult with expert players like Zeroskater, for example, to fine-tune the characters.
On this point, they do have a competitive focus group of top players who playtest and provide feedback with high-level competitive play in mind. This has been part of the process starting with Tales to Amaze.
Keep in mind though that even huge companies with massive budgets and large playtesting groups like Wizards of the Coast release items of varying power level (sometimes requiring a card to be banned even). Restoration is a much smaller team than these and I feel like their track record on balance has been excellent. These types of games are complex and not all lines of play are always explored by playtesters, which means even the most expert of players can miss things.
Here's the translation of your text into English:
"It's true that testing the game is becoming increasingly complicated due to the large number of new characters released each year. Even so, it's understandable that, despite being tested by professional players, something might still slip through. It's noticeable that the latest sets have been very well received, as you mentioned with the case of 'Tales to Amaze.' However, as I mentioned earlier with the example of 'Oda,' they still release characters with issues in most matchups. 'Sling and Arrows' hasn't arrived in my country yet, so I can't give a proper opinion on them, but at first glance, Hamlet seems like a character who will also face many difficulties (I'll have to test him).
If, as you mentioned, the testing they are currently doing is the best they can, and there are still these issues, my question is: why not update those characters that need it? Like the beloved King Arthur.
Am I to assume that it would hurt them financially? Would buyers have issues purchasing an Unmatched set knowing they would need to buy a separate update pack? I suppose that would be the answer."
