Re: Hello!!! Is anyone even here anymore??
Makes me wonder why we even have these forums... Maybe it's time for the forums to die...
Re: The Strange Case of Shoulder the Burden, the META perk that nobody uses.
It's another case of "Too strong in a SWF, useless in solo queue"
It's the survivor equivalent of "Too strong on Nurse, useless on Trapper"
They really just need to bite the bullet and address these power gaps with situational nerfs.
Chucky is power crept by Michael
I can't even believe thats a sentence i even had to type but this has been bothering me since the Shape's rework. Michael now does everything that chucky can do but better. Chucky can make himself undetectable but it only lasts for a certain duration, while Shape can just push a button and he gets all the undetectable he wants. Chucky can sprint forward to hit someone, well Shape can do the exact same thing but Shape's dash is a instadown and he can break pallets with it while chucky has to equip an addon to do that. The only advantage Chucky has on Shape is that his dash can make him jump over a window during his dash which is not that great considering Chuckys dash controls like a drunk rhino. So i ask you BHVR why? Why did you take michael myers and just make him chucky but better? It shouldnt have been this way, was it that hard to just gigabuff him to atleast mid to high c tier in his old state before you lost his license? Shapes identity is gone because you gave him Chucky's identity instead.
Re: I think it's time for Killer bots
Honestly surprised they haven't added killer bots yet in customs as they aren't too bad in 2v8
Re: Did they remove the second clock tower pallet on midwich?
There is something odd going on with pallets as some pallets that should be 100% chance of spawning don't spawn. Indoor maps you can see this more clearly as there is several in those that usually always spawn.
Re: The Strange Case of Shoulder the Burden, the META perk that nobody uses.
Solid post.
Given how many times we've gotten 'X is going to be destroy the game' I wish there would be more careful consideration of certain perks when they are in the PTB (both from the community and BHVR).
As others have said, its very situational, and, even with a hard tunneling killer (the best case for the perk) you still create a potential for a snowball if the StB users is downed right away.
And we have perks like Babysitter, that don't require the survivor to be on 0 hooks to get real value, can provide the value over multiple unhooks, and give value to the unhooker as well. Even something like Reassurance can be a less costly trade off that is easier to access than StB.
Re: The Strange Case of Shoulder the Burden, the META perk that nobody uses.
The problem with any survivor perk is that you're only guaranteed to do 2 things in a survivor game: be chased and do gens. Every other aspect of survivor gameplay is contextual. Yes, you can do things like hook saving, but that doesn't mean you should be doing them in that moment.
