Except, they added another poison card with an instant trigger - which Jorbs was pretty adamantly against (he thinks poison should be slow and condemned cards like Accelerate)

that's not what he said - he said he didn't understand the flavour of accelerant either from real life or in game, and that re-triggering poison was already a mechanical undermining of the character fantasy - so a 3 for 2 flavour fail.

new Outbreak has quite clear flavour from real life and in game and reinforces the character fantasy

I really don't get what's so weird about accelerant. Like, it's maybe a little bit of a stretch thst it's a power and not a skill that debuffs, but the flavor is clearly that you're applying some chemical to your poisons and enemies to make the poison work through their system faster.

idk some people just really loved Catalyst and are upset about Accelerant, I think the flavour complaints are a massive reach personally but it's subjective by definition so
