    DS is strong and you're a moron if you think it isn't. It should NEVER be base kit regardless.

    Survivors whine about Moris being able to kill off first hook but lets look at what survivors can do with DS that is completely outside of its intended purpose.

    1) Paired with UB you are literally invulnerable and can't be left alone. This encourages killers to slug AND camp you on the ground leading to a massive waste of time for both killer and survivor.

    2) 60 seconds means if you get hooked next to a generator that hasn't been touched you can walk over to it and do 75% of the generator solo. Killer has 2 options here. Grab you and take the stun to spare the gen or play in a way that slugs you then effectively camp a single gen or risk of UB or another survivor now knowing the location of a gen and can heal. What incentive does a killer have to not wait it out? Lose more gens. catch 22.

    3) You just got unhooked, got DS and see a teammate being chased. Time to body block! Forces killwr to hit you. Or you can do the truly annoying thing and jump spam lockers to distract a killer (cause just an FYI survivor mains killers rely on sound a lot more than you think). Killer grabs you from locker? Haha stun.

    4) All gens done. You can use DS to sit at a door and fully open it at no risk. Top levels will 99% the door and just wait it out to avoid DW. Oh other survivor got hooked. Let me go save them. They can now unhook AND force killer to just watch as they run to the door open it and proceed to teabag.

    5) My personal survivor build since i mainly plat survivor solo. Since I main killer but play both sides consistently. You can literally go true immortal end game. Deliverance/DS/UB/Tenacity. If at any point in the game I've saved a teammate I dont fear killer at all. DS is the crux of the build and most killers dont expect UB when i start crawling.

    DS needs tweaks to disable when YOU interact, this means working a gen or door or healing another survivor but not while being healed, with anything but vaults and pallets including opening chest or doing event stuff. ATM it is beyond strong and it encourages toxic survivor play and toxic killer play.

    Its been a day. In the meantime I posted a question asking what people though, all said it wasn't a form of momentum. So, please explain to me how it is.

    Farming means the killer gets a free hook state on a survivor.

    Where did you get that definition from? Did one of the devs or mods say that?
