What YouTube/Twitch personality made a video about Eruption?

A couple months back, I was one of the only people here arguing that Eruption was good, and people here were swearing up and down that it was a waste of a perk slot.

Since everyone on the entire forums without exception get 100% of their opinions on DBD from YouTube videos and Twitch streamers, I assume someone influential made a video within that timeframe.

    A number of streamers/youtubers pointed it out. - But it also just took a while for buffed Eruption to become meta. - If something is extremely annyoing but pretty rare it's alright.

    I think Eruption became extremely annoying and prevalent with Knight's release and I think since then it took maybe a couple of days until everyone was kinda on the same page that synergies are way overtuned.

    Nope, people started to use it more and people kept getting more and more annoyed by it. There were videos about it, but honestly I dont think those are what caused it to blow up in popularity.

    Hens' video did increase the usage a bit, as well as increase the amount of people camping 3-gens from the start of the match.

    But I think everyone (for both sides) is just really annoyed with the meta, playing Killer is boring and playing Survivor is boring. No one is really enjoying themselves it seems.

    I don't think I saw anyone saying 'it's bad' after 6.1.0. More 'this will stomp holes in solo players but won't do much against an organized team'...which is still 100% true.

    Otz had a video and it was there.

    So I used it, and it makes people angry. If The game was about making people angry it'd be the best.

    But, its not so, it works well in some cases and in others, it doesn't.

    I like it.
