Like I said in my earlier post, the only difference in play style is using katana alt swing to 1 hit kill sirens and husks instead of primary and using axe alt swing to melee pounds rather than a combination of both. I use axe alt fire to kill scrakes pre patch so no difference there except I need 5 hits now from the front instead of 3.
Everything you just said is under the assumption that you can get 100% consistent headshots.
That was kind of my point.
The attacks are so weak now that hitting the head is more important than ever.
That kind of means more skill is required, doesn't it?
You can't just bodyshot-bumrush a siren or husk blocking your way with the katana, you need to hit the head now and you need to do it with altfire.
If you can't do that, you have a problem. And a lot of fun with scrakes.
So on the one hand, we have this, which makes the zerker harder to play, and on the other hand we have more movespeed and damage reduction which gives more room for error and makes it a bit easier.
The OP only mentions one side of the trade and makes it look like it was only buffs and buffs again which isn't quite the case.

@Undedd Jester:
You can have those 5% if you want them even though I do not quite understand why the medic needs to be at least as fast as the zerker or how those 2 perks are even supposed to be related to each other in the first place.
Or why they should be.
The only reasoning so far is "because I say so".
It's like demanding AoE attacks for the commando because the demo has them. It makes no sense.
They're 2 different perks. They don't need to fulfill the same roles nor should their stats somehow be linked to each other.
Pointing out that one is better at something than the other doesn't really show anything other than that they're different which isn't surprising when comparing apples to oranges.
So while I wouldn't be particularly opposed to a medic speed buff or a zerker speed nerf, is there any actual reason for it?
You don't need to outrun zerkers to heal them you know. If they know what's good for them, at least.
