What's the problem with bloodlust?

I've seen threads every now and then about it, but now it was brought up in the Q&A. It's left me scratching my head as to why. What's wrong with bloodlust, and why do people want it removed?

You can still loop a killer for ten minutes, and can still break their bloodlust by stunning, or forcing them to break a pallet. God loops may have changed, but you can still create your own with the right tile placement. What's changed?

    It ruins the fun of looping the low tier killers around coldwind or Ormond maps all game. It also lessens the impact of sprint burst.

    What are you? a killer main?

    It was added during a time when loops and god windows were very problematic.

    Many of these issues no longer are present, but bloodlust remains. This is without getting into the fact you can hold W at a pallet and will eventually catch up due to the mechanic, not skill.

    The problem with bloodlust is the same as the problem with instadropping pallets - you didn't earn it. You played poorly, with no skill, and got rewarded for it.

    It makes it so can't just run the killer around one loop all game 😡


    Well except on Hawkins. Devs said they aren't removing it tho so i wouldn't put too much thought into it. Survivor mains are going to complain about anything that can kill them. There are people who really want every killer to not be able to kill, I think even MOST survivors. And I get it, I lowkey became a survivor main without even noticing because of how frustrating killer can get and got so used to winning every game that when i don't win i catch myself going "Oh thats bullshit" And i mean, a lot of the time it is but its not like i don't have a host of my own bullshit lol

    As a Rank 1 Survivor and Killer, Bloodlust is fine because it takes so long to kick in. If a Killer needs Tier 3 Bloodlust, it takes 45 seconds at least. Any chase that's over 45 seconds long is probably a sign that there's a massive Rank/Skill difference between the Survivor and Killer ngl

    Bloodlust is an outdated mechanic. Especially since map reworks.

    Bloodlust only kicks in after you have a whole checklist of things ticked off.

    Did you get not get stunned? Not break any pallets? Not get any hits in the last 2 minutes? Still chasing the same person?

    Ok now we'll give you a slight speed boost that rips the games framerate apart. :)

    Bloodlust is fine. People will complain because they want to complain.

    You can't change that.
