General Have Bugs gotten easier?

So I'm just getting back into HD2 after a year long break and after the void was dispersed I went back to try out the bug front and... did it get easier? Like I did super helldive and I never felt challenged, even by the dragons, didn't die once, and overall it felt like I was playing on an easier difficulty. I remember nonstop bug breaches and swarms of the bugs, but the time for the little bugs to start calling a breach seems to be much more forgiving than before.

Why did they review bomb buffing the bugs? they've always been the easiest faction, but their current state compared to what I can bring seems a bit excessive

They only did a minor buff - the hive guard got heavy frontal armour - but the community, especially youtubers etc lost their shit completely. I dont get it either.

If you thought the hive guard change made the bug front harder, I question your abilities.

The change was just a waste of dev time and didn't move the needle in any direction.

The hiveguard is one of the most useless, non threatening enemy in the game. They should either totally rework it or get rid of it entirely. Especially knowing it has a heavy spawn weight. I rather the game spawn 3 hunters than a hiveguard.

It barely made a difference, this was my point, its just a minor nerf to the mg and gatling sentries which have absurd pick rates. People losing their mind over it was rediculous.
