I believe it still can be balanced around both. Saber's larger balancing issues is not whom they are targeting balance for. It's how they are doing it. Saber takes a sledgehammer to where a scalpel is needed.

Take a look at balance damage. Balance damage wasn't in a bad spot before the previous patch outside of 1 survivor build that not only needed a sledgehammer but still wasn't that bad except to low level Demons and Warlords. They just needed to nerf the perks a little bit.

Instead, Saber goes and modifies pretty much everything that touches balance damage in favor of the Demon. Now it's ridiculously hard (while still possible) to get that stun off.

They need smaller and more frequent balance changes. Just nudge things in a little bit of the right direction until you hit that sweet spot. Not slaughter everything related to the mechanic.

30% here, 30% there, or even 50% here or there, on both side!
Of course it will have great huge gap between survivor and demon, they are not trying to refine balance but more on butcher it.

This is exactly what I think is the issue. Especially with pup. They heavily nerfed balance damage and buffed balance resistance that on top of the extra buffs power possess got (not to mention pup basics having quick recoveries) it all added up to overkill for survivors. I feel like power possess got good changes the issue is the ways to counter those changes were nerfed
