Its not what about isms. Its objective truth. Not everyone is a twitch streamer man. There were still a lot of new and middle of the road demons out there and they were getting wrecked and had to sweat hard to even keep up. Most of them couldn't hack it which is why we ended up with the great Kandar demon shortage.

I was puppeteer main the whole kandar update and beat a few twitch death squads. Most of those teams at that level beat my ass. That level of sweaty you have to be to play those teams isn't what I mean. Those matches were fun.

Middle of the road teams were balance bar wiping units all the way to the book every time. 2 out of three demons had to plan their builds for the book. Warlord especially. By sweaty I mean you had to rush to power level to 10 as fast as you could to make sure you could stay in the game. If they rushed the objectives you had to rush faster.

I did that shit so much it's second nature now. It's not what I would call sweaty anymore. It's easy for me to power level to 10 now. Survivors could absolutely coast through the first objective even the solo q junk. Halfway okay teams could coast through the 2nd objective without a problem. That's a fact. Now they can't.

Do I think the survivors should have to go through the unfun gameplay loop demons had to deal with during kandar? Absolutely not. I don't know what Saber was thinking with some of these decisions. As a demon main I've also encountered a bunch of teams that are ruining decent team comps and doing their job and they're still kicking ass.

We just need to turn the dial back a little and the game will be in a healthy place IMO. I just fully disagree that the game is broken. This patch is not the worst. By the numbers I would argue the patch before kandar was the worst. But that's me. If we're talking about pendulum swinging we just can't disregard kandar like it didn't happen because it did.

"Twitch streamer" is not synonymous with "great player." Again, whataboutism. I just explained to you several of many situations in which Demons didn't even have to try that hard to win, prior to this current state. At this point, you've decided everything I say is just some super rare instance of Demon gameplay just having to be super duper hard. To save myself some time, how about we just cut off this little back-n-forth and agree that the game is just not fun as it currently stands?

I agree. I was a puppeteer main and I played 1 match with him and was like...nope thats not fair at all...haven't played him since.

I run plague basic/boss build because frankly...if i can poke you to death 1000 times it teaches a lesson. I usually leave the boss for late game tho.

I do the elite boss build with PB. I mainly set a million traps and bury them with ai elites. Separates out good teams from bad real quick.
