Originally the combat just filtered people. Anons and journos and youtubers commonly complained about the system "falling apart" with multiple enemies because they failed to understand that you're supposed to weave shooting into your melee attacks. As a consequence idiots would just sit there playing bob and weave with a zombie for 5 minutes and then wonder why they got bumrushed by a bunch of other enemies.
But then in response to the shitters the devs released patches that ruined the combat and dumbed it down significantly to make it work like streamers wanted it to. Which was retarded because the game had a slowly growing following of players doing damage control for them.
And yes there were always shitty aspects like the bosses and the stealth kills.
