When Alatreon arrived to Monster Hunter World Iceborne, he brought along a massive storm thanks to his supernova attack; Escaton Judgement. It insta-kills everyone in the area and can only be suppressed with elemental damage. This lead to massive blowback such as negative review bombs, calls to nerf the attack and general despair towards the state of the game. The blowback did not last long as more and more people came around on him, but to this day Alatreon and Escaton Judgement are still hotly debated topics. In this video I take a look at the reasons people had for hating Alatreon, whether or not they have any basis and how Monster Hunter has handled difficulty as of late.
