I see some players saying the bosses were already easy, which is mostly true. The fights sometimes turn hard because of RNG things (like the spider jumping and her overall movement, or the butchers fire). These make the fights take longer and thus much more dangerous, because other players can get to you.

In my opinion the trade off should always have been:

• melee means a more silent fight, but takes a longer
• guns should be quicker but everyone can hear you fight, because it's much louder.

But they balanced it so most guns do fuck all damage to bosses and for some of them ammo is a big concern. So nobody ever kills bosses with guns, unless they can't find melee or they are noobs who don't know how bosses work, yet.

With the new sticky change they actually put that option into the game. If you know you want to be loud, you can try to get that sticky onto the boss (which is not guaranteed, especially with the spider, to go well) and then finish it with guns really quickly, without changing any of the guns.

So this change opens up a new game style variation that in my opinion should always have been in the game.
