Not gonna lie, I think Juren single handedly re-ruined the game for me.

I returned to the game after 4 years (First mistake) and facing these Jurens every other game has been ruining it for me. A super quick bash, a dodge unblockable variable that feels like it has hyperarmor, and wild light spam all in one character is crazy. At least with older characters they have downsides and an obvious moveset that you have to learn and play towards, with its own drawbacks that you also need to learn.

These new characters just don't really don't have many drawbacks to them. I remember the last time I played was when pirate released, and thats when I left, simply because there wasn't much counterplay at the upper levels.
