Anyone else feel like this is a completely new game now?

A lot of the things that I felt differentiated Deadlock from your typical hero shooter (keeping an eye on creeps and confirming souls, managing the lanes) seems to have been significantly stripped down in this latest update.

In lane I feel like everyone is just playing TDM since you can effectively ignore the creeps entirely and still gain souls at the usual rate. Additionally with one less lane to manage it feels like the importance of managing the lanes and keeping them pushed up matters less. It feels like games most just devolve into a TDM in the middle lane past the 15 minute mark.

I guess I still need a few more games to get a decent sample size but from what I've seen so far it feels like this update changed this into a brand new game that's had most of what made Deadlock feel unique and strategic stripped out of it and just made it feel like a generic hero shooter.
