I hope this is a bug or they have developer doing the balancing who did not play the game ever. It’s a kids game in it’s core and getting oneshot by a silent creeper (in full iron armor) who stealth spawned behind you is beyond broken. I play hardcore shooters like Tarkov daily and minecraft normal mode is literally unplayable after this change.
I played this with my kid now we won’t touch this game ever again: I would either fire whoever is in charge of balancing or send them back to school.
This will cots you millions in the long run, cause no kid wants to play something unfair and I say that as an adult who plays games that are supposed to be way harder.
get your **** together microsoft
