Well, it's certainly different
Haven't played for some time. So imagine how it seemed when I logged back in after the updates.
I want to congratulate the Devs on the stability improvements and graphics overhaul, game looks great on console 👍
However, I think you went OTT with direct strike. It's gone from being OP to basically #########! You can only use it if 2 parameters are met, being unhooked and within 60secs of being unhooked. That second condition can go, unless you're facing a camper/tunneler, which in all fairness, good survivors would use DS as their last chance to survive anyway. Now direct strike is mostly a wasted perk slot. So well done if that was the intention. I also want to point out that I say this as someone that prefers to play as killer.
Seriously now, what's with the match ups?? It's like rank is completely meaningless. I can literally be matched with anyone in any rank. This makes gameplay terrible, as things that would be considered common sense to a higher ranked player, isn't even a thought to a lower rank player. It makes being a killer boring when you get 2 ranked 15s, 1rank 10 and a rank 5 and being a survivor difficult when you're team are made up with lower ranked trash, who then have to face a high rank sweaty killer. Fix this #########!
I haven't come across the new killer much, which is worrying because I remember when legion came out, that's all I seen for 2 days straight and quite regularly thereafter. The new survivor I have seen plenty of times.
I can't comment any further, beyond DC still an issue. I am sure I will at some point though.

DS wasn't OP. DS was completely broken. I can't even say they nerfed it, cuz it feels like they fixed a bug. A bug extremely deep in the game code, cuz it took 2 years.
It's still decent and at his best spot ever right now. It doesn't need changes. Maybe removing the effect of enduring, but that's it.

Broken, OP same thing really. But now it's #########. It only works IF the killer is on you straight after unhooking and you manage to get caught in under a minute lol. Wasted perk slot now, unless you know the killer is a camper/tunneler and that's dependant on their privacy settings.
I never thought DS was that bad tbh. Annoying for sure, certainly discouraging when playing 4 man military style swf squads, but then again, those players make all parts of play discouraging. Just get rid of the timer, it's overkill.

They reverted back to the old match making system after complaints. They are still working on it.
All meta survivor perks have been or are being nerfed because of the complaints some of which are valid.
I think the healing perk they went too far and now killers don't get the chase instead they get the hook but now can't pip off 4k. And now they complain about it... Ya can't have it both ways folks!
The Devs are working on things and do listen to the feedback which is still encouraging. They heard folks about the new match making system and they reverted it back. More to come I guess 😊

I loved the new matchmaking system. After they "reverted" it, I'm getting teammates in the mid to high teens and killers rank 2 (I'm around rank 10 atm, but with the current broken pipping system that keeps going down.) That didn't happen until they "reverted" it, even on the old system. (PS4) When they implemented the new system it was terrific! I loved the timer, I loved the matching, I was being matched with players with good ping most of the time, and ranked reasonably. Now it's worse than before!

OP is right, DS is worthless now. I almost never ran it before, and i'll certainly never run it now!
