I'm saddened to see nerfs being deployed across the board - with the possible exception of off-screening, which feels cheap and is one reason I'd never play Betrayal on Hardcore.

If the VFX associated with Syndicate members wasn't so gratuitously overdone, reducing their damage wouldn't be necessary - and honestly feels like a cop-out. I don't want to not die - I just want to understand why I died. At any time there's more than one of those tornadoes on the screen at once it's effectively impossible to see anything, regardless of what enemies are doing at the time. Abruptly dying in those circumstances is frustrating - but lowering their damage misses the point completely. Please ask the art team to tone down the VFX. It's not the first time they've heavily reduced my enjoyment of a challenge league.

I so much agree with this. Syndicate was no problem for me at all as long as I played my ranged character. When I made a close range one, I wasn't even able to easily locate Haku in the cloud of his minions even though he has a symbol over his head. I've heard that syndicate members have on-death effects but personally I haven't seen a single one...

Improved Betrayal encounters by reducing damage dealt by most Syndicate members, improving skill signalling, reducing Syndicate member damage bonuses from some items, reducing skill off-screening, cleaning up residual objects to reduce clutter and reducing additional monster spawns in Fortification encounters.
