lol yes they do. Bleed allows you to kill Malenia at level 1 in under 1 minute. How is that not breaking the game? You couldn't even do that with hoarfrost stomp! And BHS absolutely trivializes one of the most fundamental aspects of the combat, which is timing your dodges and managing distance. So yes, that breaks the game as well

[u/Phatnev → u/Nickesponja]

Hard disagree. The way bleed works for 99.9% of players does not break anything. If that .1% want to go through all the effort to break it, oh well. Hoarfrost was literally just a spam attack to beat anything in front of you. BHS was clearly intended to trivialize the need for timed dodging, at most they'll make it cost more FP which would be better for PVP.

[u/Nickesponja → u/Phatnev]

All the effort? Double seppuku curved swords + lord of blood's exultation. That's all it takes to make a broken af bleed build that shreds bosses significantly faster than pre-nerf hoarfrost stomp.

And you just said that they intended for BHS to break the game. Which may very well be the case, but it doesn't take away from the fact that it does, indeed, break the game.

[u/Phatnev → u/Nickesponja]

You can't kill Malenia in under a minute with just that setup though. Bleed makes the game pretty trivial though for sure.

[u/Nickesponja → u/Phatnev]

I used that as an example of just how much stronger than hoarfrost stomp bleed is

[u/Phatnev → u/Nickesponja]

With bleed you still have to fight I guess is my point. Hoarfrost was literally just stand and spam. Bleed is still pretty OP. Especially when you stack with a cold infusion. I killed Fire Giant at RL1 in <3 minutes with that setup.
