Save The Holt Slayer Gate!
I have spent tens of hours at this gate, while becoming a better player. There were times where I had to replay it over and over for hours to get a successful run. Now I managed to get it at second attempt. Meanwhile, battles which seemed insanely hard in Blood Swamps or The Holt became easier. Hell, even Samur became less tedious after honing my skills here. I still die against him, no doubt, but I don't need 20+ retries for final phase as earlier. Even my Doom 2016 gameplay improved thanks to this Slayer Gate. I think this Slayer Gate should be left as it is. There are many good players out there who want a challenge where they have to be aware of their gameplay. It is the hardest official part of the game, as a Slayer Gate should be, but not nearly as hard as fan-made mods. Also there are many players who don't struggle with this gate in the slightest, but they still enjoy playing it as it is. A recurring argument is that "but there is content/milestone/etc locked behind it". There is literally nothing locked behind beating this Slayer Gate on Nightmare. You can get Sanctum podium for completing the DLC on Ultra-Nightmare, but you can skip the Slayer Gate. You can get the Support Rune, Lucky Charm Bracelet milestone and Armed To The Teeth title by beating this Gate on ANY difficulty. You can beat it on Ultra-Violence, HMP or even I'm Too Young To Die and you will still get the same rewards. I can only repeat what others have said: This Slayer Gate is good as it is. There is no need to nerf it.
