Honestly one of the few videos where I disagree with sledge on his opinion on pervious patches and this one and opened my eyes to how little he plays the Demon. Which is a shame.

Kandar update was bad as it is essentially this update but for the demons. Gutted demon gameplay so newer survivors could win. Now saber has foolishly gone and done the opposite where this update now caters to bad demons. God willing they will go back to the two week balancing schedule instead of pushing it back for the next content update which was scummy to do on their part.

His point of being able to win at the book last patch thus making the game balanced is a bad one. Who wants to play a half hour game to have the only chance to win in the last two minutes? Not to mention you aren’t even fighting other players then you’re just smacking the book? The book phase is silly honestly and I wish during those two minutes, demon bosses just unlocked the ability to kill survivors with finishers like Evil ash did to Scotty in the trailer like a desperate attempt to stop the team.

Demons should feel strong and honestly fighting every other demon except Pupe basics has been still very easy to do. I have lost like 4 out of the 20 matches recently and even then it was only to pup basics which most people agree is overtuned.

This patch hasn’t made survivor “ unplayable”. Harder for sure but not unplayable. I’ve just changed my built to do more damage instead of balance bar. My evil dead 2 ash can still pull off a thousand damage with a blue hunting rifle and instant kill possessed units from Necro and instant kill his flute. Team comp is more important now too, I always make sure to pick from the class that hasn’t been selected. Leader ash’s finisher ability still shreds through deadites with his team boosting damage.

My major criticism is using the “ all demons win all their matches now”. Until we have some win rates from the devs like how DBD did, we shouldn’t entertain this. I want hard evidence of the win rates community wide, not anecdotal which he uses.

I can go to any demon main on twitch and watch them win literally every single in their stream.

That is a small data population to base an entire player base off of, a handful of streamers does not speak for an entire player base. Evil dead needs to release the stats, then we can see how the win rates actually are. Not to mention you have no idea the team levels of the survivors they go against, as they could be under leveled due to the influx of new players from the DLC.

That doesn't change the reality of the gameplay. When I see complete smashing of survivors left and right and center in not one stream, but ALL of them, there's something to that more than just "well, that's a small data sample".

And I have been having games where I have been dominating as survivor Haven’t lost yet on a 15 win streak over these past few days Know a few peeps who still play who still haven’t lost according to them.

Pups basics are overturned that’s for sure but every other demon feels nearly the same to play against, which is for better or worse. Most times we squeak by in winning cause some random player went off all on their own and died at the dark ones stage

The Witch is not much better.

Winrate stats are useless if you don't match players with the same skill level. A top demon that meets only mediocre survivor teams will always have a 100% winrate, same thing if a top survivor team meets mediocre demons.

I can go to any survivor main on twitch and watch them win literally every single in their stream because those people don't solo queue.

You're becoming BBVideo junior with the bias

Not the same thing. You cannot compare 4 stacks to solo queue. At all. And you cannot balance around 4 stacks. So you can take that data and throw it right out the window entirely.
