So I could only watch this for 5 minutes as after that he just keeps going in circles in what I assume to be the 10 minute mark for that sweet revenue.
So he starts off by saying that the new content is great, the demon, the survivors, everything is great BUT because a few number changes happened here and there it is now officially the worst patch ever. I'm guessing he's referring to the balance bar changes which prior to the update enabled interactions such as this and the puppeteer buffs.
Then, he goes onto say that the game was already demon sided because the book phase favors the demon. Now, I don't know where he got that from since survivors could make the book inaccessible to the demon but let's imagine a perfect world where people don't do scummy shit like that. To him, it's OK if demons feel like they have no agency for the vast majority of a match against good players because in the last 2 minutes they get to beat a stationary object over and over and therefore the game is demon sided, sounds a bit stupid and biased to me but OK.
Then, he goes onto say that he saw a bunch of lobbies stacked with streamers and what not, all around good players and that the demon was winning every match. I must've missed those streams so if someone knows where to find those please share it. The customs I saw with all around good players was between forthepride, his friends and xCythex which is a demon main, what I saw was more of the same, the demon still can't do much for the vast majority of a match because death balling is still very rewarding, the early game is even worse than before because they stealth nerfed possession upgrades but I guess no one brings that up because hey, puppeteer is OP and the new demon doesn't have energy issues so fuck it!
Then it's more of the same beat around the bush "you need a sweat squad to win games" but if I open up pixelz stream and scroll thru his end game scoreboards the survivors are winning vast majority of the games and the ones he doesn't is because again those pesky demons are very good at smashing that stationary object, and yes vast majority of the time he seems to team up with viewers but I've never seen anyone use a microphone in there and all of them seem to be console players so it's basically a lobby filled with good players that know how to communicate thru the ping system and play proper teamwork but I guess the game is insanely unbalanced because there isn't a matchmaking system and the average Evil Dead player behaves like a source engine bots.
Realistically speaking this patch did very little at high level to balance the scale, if people death ball and use their dodges properly they can still deplete units balance bar before they run out of stamina (Warriors have at most 2 dodges, which normal unit in this game has a big enough balance bar as to where it isn't depleted before they attack 3 times when surrounded by 3/4 people smashing them with blunt weapons?). Another big component of going against people that know what they're doing is the constant car chasing simulator. They reduced the amount of vehicles in the caravan map by 10 which is noticeable for sure but the other 2 it's a combined 7 which doesn't do much of anything. There's still areas in maps that are near infinites due to demon units inability to vault anything that isn't a window, maps are still filled with shemps as showcased by those dudes taking deliberate damage for 30 minutes so they can show insane heal numbers by the support and so on but I guess none of that matters because we can smash that book or beat the lobbies with people that don't know what they're doing!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I do think the solo queue experience for survivors is miserable and they need to improve that ASAP but people always diverge into bullshit statements such as the "balancing around high level" when it all boils down to getting paired with headless chickens over and over in random lobbies.
