The general consensus among critics is that the updates are essentially a “nothing burger.” Some players joked about her being removed from the meta, only to conclude that she likely remains the most potent hero in the game. The “slap on the wrist” sentiment echoes throughout social media, with many players feeling the changes are more cosmetic than systemic.

While a viral meme celebrates the developer’s attention to feedback, seasoned players argue the tweaks fail to address the core issues. “People are just counting the words in the patch notes instead of reading the actual impact,” one user noted, pointing out that Celeste’s massive stamina pool—one of her most frustrating traits—remains largely untouched.

The long-term impact on Celeste remains to be seen. Valve is clearly monitoring the situation, even if their current pace feels sluggish to a frustrated community. Hopefully, future updates will find a middle ground that satisfies both the developers and the competitive player base.

In other news, Deadlock’s matchmaking continues to face hurdles, with even developers reportedly ending up in lopsided lobbies—leading some to wonder if anyone is safe from the current ranking chaos.
