12 vs 25 is a pretty big difference, don't you agree? I don't think summer as a whole was hard, just that difference in difficulty between Spring and Summer wasn't big and that Summer's E4 was hard without Hayasui. Some battles looked like pic related, what the fuck.
The majority of Spring's difficulty was entirely artificial and resulted from bullshit mechanics that people didn't understand. Once they got mostly solved out (though never to a precise degree outside of branching), the event became perfectly manageable. Sadly there were some guys forcing suboptimal comps (like CTF for E7 or 3+ carriers on E6 or south without fBB on E6) who were only causing trouble for other players resulting in people wasting absurd amounts of resources.
E5 was a cockblock for many because those heretics denied the teachings of Kira Kira Church. Cleared in 12 sorties with SuzuKuma with three S ranks during chipping. I'm glad people started appreciating sparkles once again thanks to current event, event if the mechanic itself is fucking annoying.
