Bloodlust is necessary for the current balance of the game
Currently with the time crunch meta we have going on, the game moves very quickly. Most of the time too quickly, this issue is made worse by poor map balancing, as well as perk balancing. Which can prevent the killer from securing downs in a timely manner.
If they decide to go through with removing bloodlust, the length of chases will be extended. Thus making it even harder for the killer to secure downs that would stall the game.
If map balance, perk balance, and overall game time weren't an issue. Then bloodlust could be safely removed. But as of now it is a required mechanic.

Hot take; holding w around pallets is bad and being rewarded for it promotes bad gameplay

That isn't much of hot take. It's true for good survivors who know how to string loops together.
If they know what they're doing, they're essentially untouchable

I don't think the removal of Bloodlust is that big of a deal!
High rank/Veteran killers don't depend on or hardly bloodlust! I see where your coming from but I believe this is the devs taking a step towards problem that need to be addressed
Edit: I had pressed post comment too fast before typing my message!

I mean I think it's fine if the devs follow thru with making a lot of safe pallets slightly less safe like they said in a livestream a while back.

ahhh killer main i see
u know bl was intended for infinites right? becuase if ur hitting bl 2 ur doing something wrong lol.

Kinda like how they said they were going to optimize console...

When a killer gets a hit, the majority of the time it's due to bad positioning on the survivor. If a survivor knows where to be and how to loop effectively, nothing can be accomplished. Then the killer will break chase to try and find the weak link of the four survivors.
Killers should not have to rely on the mistakes of a survivor to accomplish anything.

This is just further confirmation how ignorant they are to the high level play. BL can be the difference to getting a down against good Survivors and them putting the pallet down and getting to the next loop. If they fix map size and stop creating strong loops that we have to waste time breaking a wall to prevent then, removing BL doesn't matter.

Like I said, if maps were balanced, then bloodlust could be safely removed.

We do, this is just a general discussion on if bloodlust were permanently removed.

Fair point, title should now reflect the content of the discussion.

Bloodlust 1 happens from time to time but is mitigated with good killer pathing. Anything beyond bloodlust 1 is because the killer is making mistakes.

You're going on the assumption that all killers can do 20-30 second chases consistently.

I think if they ever did decide to remove bloodlust from killers it would cause a lot of lower ranked killers and even medium ranked killers to potentially take a step back from playing. I myself main killer and average anywhere between rank 10 and 7 but im by no means "great" at the game. Bloodlust (for me at least) gives that extra little help when i get ranked against higher skilled players which happens more times than not.
As a lot of others have said instead of bloodlust changes right now (and yes i know its just for the weekend) they need to look into changing the maps to make loops not as infinite in the hands of good players.
On a side note i did have a spitball idea. why not (if the devs truely wanted to remove bloodlust) have bloodlust as a killer addon that killers can equip if they want. it would allow lower skilled/new killers the extra benifits of the buff whilst giving higher skilled killers the challenging gameplay that us lower skilled players can't do.

me bad at mindgaming, let me hold W for 15 seconds real quick so survivor cant do anything
1 -
Same goes for survivor, holding W will actually work against the killer now

I'd be interested in your (and the people who upvoted you) alternative? What would you suggest is better for the game, because survivors don't really have much else besides windows and pallets which definitely aren't always in a place to be used.

“gives that extra little help when i get ranked against higher skilled players”. And what happens when you face surv about your skill? How many times you 4k?
2 -
I can just imagine the giant building loops.
0 -
Honestly its about 50/50 if i 4k or not. and if im facing survivors at around my skill level then blood lust doesnt usually get used because chases don't last that long. i played a load of games last night and i saw bloodlust proc in about half of the matches and in those i got 2k or less.
Your post seems to imply that im just destroying survivors left and right and its all because of blood lust when in actual fact blood lust is there to give a helping hand when you either come up against a really hard loop or higher skilled suvivors.
