Mystery solved folks, @Voluntaris didn't have any issue with him, everyone can move along now.
He definitely seemed more like a Day 3 mini. I went in with a full health Blade against the section 1 GG (with GR/Stark) and ate one 4 hit combo that took me down to 2%. Was lucky enough to regen back to about 30% and finished the fight, but his attack definitely seemed higher than normal for Day 1.

Was providing my empirical experience only, since OP asked.
In no way did I attempt to invalidate others experiences.
As for why some may be finding him a bit tougher, more than likely has to do with how season 5 AQ is translating alliance prestige into the power strength of AQ opponents [since that has been reworked, per the original Season 5 announcement].

While you had no issue, does that also mean you noticed no difference at all as well?
Could the possibility exist that you played poorly and looking to place blame? Could it be that he wasn't actually harder and its just in your head? Could it be a number of different possibilities but this one possibility fits the conspiracy adgena so people are running with it?
Also, I never inplied any conspiracies, that was someone else. More likely, if its confirmed, its like the same bug where the percentage increase displayed for a stat, and the actual percentage increase don’t line up.
Not only a possibility, but I fully admitted to playing poorly and eating a 4 hit combo to the face (fortunately recovered and still got the 1 shot btw), but the damage output was much greater than normal - took my 5/50 Blade from 100% to 2%. I don't recall if those hits were all crits or not, so I supposed there is a chance I was just unlucky and the damage was legit. Even parried blocks were doing a noticeable amount of damage, taking off around 5% health at a time. I'm not complaining about the difficulty, I'm fine with that, but rather sharing my experience that the fight did seem a bit overpowered for Day 1 as the OP was asking.

But you are basing all of this off 1 fight. What happens later today if you 1 shot him with no issue? Everyone is so quick to say "secret" changes or spout false info. (Not saying it was you) before getting actual facts. 1 fight is a off chance, consistant fights with issues is substantial.
I was making light of your first comment offering nothing constructive to the conversation. Your response to me does provide sound reasoning though and is likely pretty spot on to why we're seeing the difference.

This is the exact place to do so but how can you only go off 1 fight with nothing to back it up? When you have no evidence of change, gather it first and then state the problem. Now, if you had a screen shot or video with dat 1 stats from the old AQ against GG compared to new AQ GG that showed a drastic change, I wouldnt be questioning anything. "Feelings" aren't evidence as they are subject to mood and influenced by opiniins.

@MaddMatt05 this is a prime example of what I'm talking about.
Not criticizing anyone's technique or whatever. I honestly thought I read that they had tuned it a little tighter, were open about it. Maybe my memory is bad, though?
