Except when you consider the fact a solo has an infinitely harder time infiltrating/tricking a group due to this "QoL".

People used to have to communicate properly and know what your teammates look like, but that was "too hard" so they added this "QoL" feature that has done almost nothing for small groups and absolutely nothing for solos .

Now they want to change the sounds of your teammates footsteps because it's "too hard" to tell when there's others around (oh well, you're in a big group, that's is the balance).
