New update bad for game health.

Does anyone else thing this new update is bad for the game's health? I love the perk changes tbh, but the changes to gens and killer animations and cool downs, plus the nerfed hit speed burst? It's all just a bit too much. The game is even more unfun to play than it was prior to the update. Killers are suppose to kill, I understand that, but when you can't even trade hooks because the killer, AT BASE, can recover before you can unhook them... It's just a bit ridiculous... I don't think I can play this game anymore in it's current state. Don't even get me started on the blood lust changes... I think Behavior needs to revert all the changes to non-perks, minus the added gen time, cause that's not much. Having build in STBFL, Brutal Strength, and on top of it, some killers make some perks completely unusable because of the Endurance change. This update started out fine, but it's making me want to never play it again... On top of that, (as a veteran player this didn't affect me, as I had everyone P3 pre-update.) The Grind reduction is actually WORSE for new players, making getting perks even harder over all. It's great for killer, but it's trash on survivor, as you have to prestige a character just to get the perks. This will make new player retention drop significantly... I'm begging you Devs, please revert some of these changes...

    An alternative I came up with is an easy one. Reduce the time of unhook and vault actions for survivors, even let killers vault 10% faster if you want, just make it so survivors still stand A chance, ya know?

    Can we wait a week or a month before making a decision on whether the update is good or bad?

    About the grind, yes. Pretty sure nobody doubts that. It was very clear from the PTB this update was not moving towards game health.
