Helldivers 2 enemy spawns appear to be broken after the last big patch

Spawns might be too difficult in Helldivers 2 right now. Multiple players are calling on Arrowhead to nerf the current spawn rates across the game, saying that with the most recent patch there hasn't really been a fix to how many enemies we're facing. I've been having a similar problem for a few weeks now, and Arrowhead is now aware of apparent spawn issues, even if the team is unsure how bad it actually is.
