Who asked for crushers to be removed?

No one afaik. We have provided feedback about the silliness of Rotten Armour, including how it interacts with other modifiers like Garden or Rampage. A lot of the issues with that just stems from hyper density nonsense, enemies having zero care about their allies when doing overheads through them, absolutely unnecessary particle effects around rotten enemies, and their old DR values mixed with carapace and other sources of DR from other modifiers. Just the classic things I would expect SENIOR game designers to predict.

P.S.

Also yet again, I would like to point out the way shooters operate in Havoc is a far bigger threat to players than any melee elite enemies ( Havoc40 gameplay intensity is great, but the Havoc difficulty modifiers exacerbate the balance issues...and lower playstyle variety )
In. a. game. which. is. melee. centric. at .heart. Another Swedish game studio which doesn’t understand their own game identity, and what makes their game genuinely fun.
