Change the obsession system?

Theres a flaw with the obsession system, it says someone in the match has an obsession perk, for the killer this means there’s a high chance of decisive so they’re less likely to tunnel, but if there isn’t. There’s not much stopping them.

I believe that there should be an obsession every game.

    Ah yes. Let's change an entire gameplay system to give DS a sneaky buff. Brilliant.

    Nah honestly I agree; so many solo games where I'm like "let's change up my build", no obsession, and suddenly everyone's being hardcore tunenled.

    yeah man but hey while we're at it why not just give all the players that obsession icon, so we also know whenever someone is in a chase or not ;)

    I'm not really opposed to it. No obsession legit encourages tunneling which I think is BS.

    I think there should be an actual downside to being the obsession, like the Devs seem to think there is (if their DS rework post is anything to go by). Imagine if DS never got changed, but suddenly the obsession did everything (including running) 5% slower. Natural DS nerf: suddenly no-one wants to be the obsession, who is actually the character the killer is forced to ignore for most of the game if they have obsession perks.

    Actually a good idea to buff solos though then buff killers accordingly. SWFs wouldn't benefit from this at all
