So, I was running a home brew campaign and I had a paladin. Gave him mjolnir. This is where I went wrong. I made it a 1d8 weapon that scaled with his level. So at level 5 he was using divine smite with it and had the possibility of 7d8 damage. He actually hit 56 hp once and was basically 2 shoting enemies. It was so overpowered by the end of the first part of the campaign I had to somehow remove it from the game, so I had the gods bring it up to the heavens because they thought it was too powerful. Player was mad and quit, thus throwing out the balance I just made.
Tl;dr. I accidentally made an overpowered weapon and took it away at the end of the campaign, making the player quit.
Well I gave all the players items like that and took them away at the end. They were all understanding besides that one person
I did, and I took all the items back. He was just super mad about it when everyone else wasn’t
Oh the last encounter was a nalfeshnee, 2 maraliths that were summoning more, and a glabrezu
I literally said after the final part of the battle that the hammer served its purpose, by saving the world, and went back up to the heavens so it wouldn’t be misused. There was discussion and I told him he would be way to op if he could roll 28d8 worth of damage from one single hit

So basically I gave everyone op shit during this part cause they fought really hard enemies during the end, and they needed it. All of it got taken away at the end but that one player was offended, even though I told them they weren’t keeping it
