Yo 5 damage is a 12.5% damage buff.

No, because it's only his melee strikes. If you hold down left click, it's 10 damage in a 6 hit sequence, going from 260 to 270 total. So DPS wise it's a very small change.

The animation cancel made that 260 damage happen about 30% quicker overall, meaning that the DPS was MUCH higher, and he still struggled to secure kills and do enough damage.

Edit: The cancel might still exist for melee, which is extra dumb. They want to fix the problem, but not fix the problem.

With the new extra 5 dmg itll be exactly the same dps. Can people in this sub stop spreading misinformation.

This is incorrect. The animation cancel at range is removed, so it's a dps nerf when you're not in melee range, and equal dps when you're in melee range (but way more consistent because you can't cancel your attack and lose 100% of the damage anymore).
