As an Ironeye main I'll run a bit of defense for him (although not much). I've had 2 games in the literal 100+ hours of play where I quite frankly didn't get a fucking thing I could benifit dmg or tank wise from passives. It was both before they even added/tweaked the passive buffs to include the drop-off stuff but still it did happen. Thankfully it wasn't a big deal since it was pre everdark sovereign super mode bosses but still.

Not sure about hardest but he's for sure the shittiest, he features literally every gameplay issue typical of Souls in one big stinking package:
>visual clutter (so much it had to be fixed)
>shitty arena floor with random dips and bumps that fuck with your positioning
>shitty camera
>delayed attacks
>rollcatch attacks
>0 windup attacks like the double slash
>openings only long enough for you to get a single r1 in, or r2 if you're lucky: no combos allowed
>infinite poise
>infinite posture
>aoe spam attacks
>broken hitboxes
>broken hurtboxes
>broken parry boxes
>bugged phase transition
>janky nuke attack
>gotcha attacks that are normally dodged via a game's mechanic that now doesn't work (the unjumpable rock stomps)
He's the result of 20 years of shitty features fused into a colossal turd. He's like the Exodia of Soulslop. The fact that he coexists in the same DLC as the virtually flawless Isshin-tier fights of Messmer and Midra makes it even worse.
