A Diablo 4 player went AFK at a dungeon entrance and watched the Butcher meet an immediate and brutal end when their Druid companions tore him apart the moment he charged in.
The clip
The short video, posted to Reddit by u/Llama-Lamp-, captures the Butcher yelling “Fresh meat!” and being cut down in seconds by wolves, ravens, and other Druid effects. Watch the original post here:

The player later posted their Druid setup in a comment on the thread:

Player reaction
Replies on the thread pointed out how the Butcher no longer carries the same shock value. Common responses included:
“I remember when he was more of an ‘Oh shit’ moment”
“Now he’s just free loot”
Where this fits
Many players agree the Butcher is less dangerous unless you are low-level or new to the game. With Season 11 on the horizon and Blizzard hinting at significant changes, that could be something the developers revisit.
