This recent update has been the bane of my existence. The Ubisoft devs, in my opinion, beat around the bush far too much in terms of balancing and other changes in the game.
The balancing issues that have long been an issue, now including raider/hitokiri, have been seemingly avoided. This current update, instead of taking community advise (on console) they decrease damage on a specific move and eliminate a move, this in my opinion was a step in the right direction however, it was the speed that the community wanted to decrease, raider/hitokiri are not assassin's, thus they should not receive assassin light speed and deal more damage on top of that.
I feel that if the developers stop focusing on the less useless things such as the new modified in game team rosters or signatures and focus on actual issues that the (console) community desires, the game would strive.

Just balance the game, don't focus on unnecessary stuff.
