No, patch 1.20 if anything changed the game for the better. I started over to see the earlier changes and it definitely is at a point the game should have been in 2010. There's even MORE planned in 1.21 that'll push the game to being just that much better.

I was originally an Archer and Gladiator but the new skill changes I decided to finally try out Marauder, and quite honestly the fact you level into skills not only feels like what they're used to designing (Typical RPGs) it feels more fluid in terms of progression.

So destroyed the game, especially again? No.
