    I have seen the video, and it makes no sense. It's still going to be much better than in the ptb, because in the ptb Vecna got slowed down horribly when he used Mage Hand, and none of that is being brought back. It's just a small time increase for the pallet pick up animation so survivors have a bit of counterplay, the ability will still be strong.

    Except the video is kinda wrong.

    On the PTB, you moved slower while casting Mage Hand, which got changed to not be as impactful on Vecna going into Live Servers. In fact, the main issue with the PTB was that Vecna got slowed down and it wasnt worth using, which got resolved going into Live Servers.

    The only aspect that is actually noteworthy is the pallet lifting animation being changed from 0.35 to 0.5, which even then wont do much if you actually take the time to learn Vecna's Mage Hand instead of just mindless using it.

    Yes, this. Disappointing to see none of the top comments in the video mention this fact.

    Because breaking from the conventional "Us VS Them" mindset is difficult for people since it gives them a (ir)rational reason to raise their pitchforks and torches.

    Some people just struggle to understand that balance changes are made for both sides and not solely based on a single one; BHVR is a company, companies like money since it keeps the doors open, it is not profitable nor reasonable to only cater to a single side, so BHVR listens to the demands of both sides and makes changes accordingly.
