Best Of

Yes like I said in the OP. I'm speaking about ALL perks in general that are affected by diminishing returns. I brought up gen perks specifically because I already hated how they were nerfed in the first place and have been asking for proper buffs to these perks for God knows how long, that have basically been forgotten after the 3 gen meta and I play killer.

The best way to get more variety in perk usage would be to have more than 4 actually useful perks, especially when we're talking about gen regression perks. The best ones haven't actually changed in years outside of the addition of turn back the clock because they giga nerfed them after 3 gen and then just kinda left them.

If that's the case never change anything because people can just use the meta options lol.

That is the current issue, that certain perks were hit and others weren't. The system is not good as it is right now. The whole argument against it was just that—that it would further tighten the meta. Though buffing other regression perks would just have them join the meta anyway. It's not exactly creative and variety-filled to just add more anti-gen to the meta.

But buffing these two perks would be fine if they also buff all the healing, gen speed, and haste perks that were affected as well.

I am talking about perks like COB and Overcharge that require stacking to be meaningful yet get punished for it.

Just saying "use the meta options" isn't actually a retort that's not my point. If that's the case never change anything because people can just use the meta options lol. I'm talking about helping out the gen perks that have been mostly terrible since the 3 gen meta nerfs.

I didn't say "buff pain res".

Eruption is still a detriment to use ever since the regression events changes. COB and Overcharge have mostly been terrible ever since 3 gen nerfs (even when COB went up to 150% it changed hardly anything) and the main way to use COB is by stacking it with something like overcharge.

You aren't punished for stacking them though. Diminishing doesn't affect all perks, only certain ones. You can still bring popular builds like Pain Res, Turn Back the Clock, Surge, and DMS and it's unaffected. On the survivor side if you bring Deja Vu and someone else brings Prove Thyself, there's a speed nerf. Or if you bring Deja Vu and Resi. So why should there just be random buffs to perks that weren't affected by this system when most gen speed perks essentially got nerfed but most slowdown ones didn't?

Gen regression perks were almost entirely unaffected by diminishing. Gen perks on the survivor side got more heavily nerfed by diminishing than killer ones.

The effect being 4.4 has on map traversal is rather overstated in the community. For every 100 meters traveled (about the length of Coal Tower), it takes a 4.4 killer 1 additional second longer than it takes a 4.6 killer.

The main problem is just that a lot of older 4.4 killers lack any kind of traversal power in their kit, since they're very focused on chasing. That can only really be addressed with reworks to their kit, or potentially introducing some killer perks to give map mobility options (Although that would probably be a headache to balance.)
