If YoshiP is truthful, and he only realised this recently, then we will have months until we see any noticeable change in job design. It's just easier to not have that hope / assume malice in the first place.

Regardless, even if the decisions have been made a while ago, they can still backtrack or address some things based on how much backlash they get. The more backlash, the more likely it'll be moved up in the priority list.
Usually I would agree with you, but consider this - Yoshi-P is the producer of this game, the one that is supposed to have the vision and who controls what goes. If the interview I linked earlier was the information he himself has provided as of june of this year, then that means this should have been the intention for longer. And even if it was not, 5 months is a lot of time, more than enough to adjust potencies and buff stack amount. They were able to adjust things from Viper because of 3 weeks worth of feedback from the players. So clearly, they can be a bit quicker with adjustments for jobs.

I've given the devs the benefit of the doubt for years now, and after a while, my own well of goodwill has run dry, unfortunately.
