Blight is decent, but he needs a flick

A killer whos power can be dodged by taking two steps to the left or right is not great tbh.

Blight IS a good killer, but he still has a bunch of small things holding him back.

Give him a flick like Oni. This helps bandaid his awful lunge out of his power.

Lets face it. Most of his addons arent that good. Everyones using the green and red compounds or theyre using the turn control ones.

Other than fixing bugs with Dragons Grip (why its called that and not something that suits the Blight is beyond me), I think Blight is in a decent spot.

Its just the little things.

And Ive heard rumors that theres an incoming addon nerf for him?

Please dont BHVR. Adjust rarities if you want. Make pallet breaking base, and change the rarity to purple and just move the aura reading compound to purple. Done.

    No. That would be OP. Survivors could do absolutely nothing to get away from him. Imagine Omega Blink Nurse but with breaking pallets. That is what you are asking for.

    He needs a flick, but I would rather him have like a 50 degree flick though

    He needs a flick just because you can stand behind a pebble in the open and be perfectly safe from his lethal rush

    I think a flick would be great, he’s so close to being A tier but the fact that he’s so easy to juke unless you’re out of position sucks

  • Not now. He seems to be damn good with his 45° flick. More might just be too much.

    It might be too strong. Even if you miss the rush, you can always M1 them. Besides the rush is about prediction and not reaction. He'll be too strong if he can do a 90 degree flick.

    That's what turning addon for.

    give him a flick would be too OP.

  • No, he's fine and fun to play. I really think he doesn't need any tweaks and is in a good spot rn

    And yet... A killer with an insta down got more than just this flick adjustment, being Oni.

    I feel like a lot of people are overreacting about the proposed flick change, even comparing him to Omega Nurse which imo is ridiculous. Nurse's power allows her to completely ignore her environment, that's why she's still borderline breaking the game. A good Nurse doesn't care what the survivors do. Blight is quite literally the opposite of that. Blight needs the environment in his favor to actually benefit from his power and unlike Nurse survivors have plenty of counters to his rush ability.

    These counters wouldn't change either if they gave him a better flick. Things like crowded areas, areas with nothing to bounce of from (mainly just corn maps and the swamp to a degree), his tracking is hard because of his low camera, placing stuff between you and him, hell literally running to any tile basically counters his power.

    The only thing the flick would actually change is that survivors that are outpositioned can't just walk aside to dodge the power anymore. Why shouldn't a killer take advantage from the survivor outpositioning themselves?

    That said, I wouldn't touch him anywhere else. His iri is good but should remain an iri. I doubt his flick would turn out to be overpowered as long as his steering remains what it is.

    Blights fine, and literally the first killer in a long time I actually enjoy AND feel like my skill had a major part of my match results. Enough for me to start maining him at Rank 1.

    He doesn't need any changes other than some addon adjustments and maybe VERY SLIGHT adjustments to his slam hitboxs.

    I agree he needs a flick I shouldn’t be able to get outplayed then turn right and escape his ability like that it’s stupid
