Is lethal pursuer the 'Early game collapse' the devs were talking about?

    Uhm

    No. That’s just a new perk. They said they new mechanic would affect every match just like the End Game Collapse. Also their Concept evolved and it is not limited to the early game anymore. Other than that we don’t have any more information.

    but they talked about the roadmap for this year and this new mechanism is probably part of the Live Design That is part of the roadmap.

    I dont recall them talking about this in the anniversary stream. I'm aware they said it has turned into something else previously so I'm curious if this was it considering that they skipped talking about it.

    Doubt it. Perhaps it is a way to test an idea for early game collapse though.

    To be fair, the game is at a fairly decent spot balance wise at the moment, at least in my opinion. An impactful early game collapse that might even slow down the game will require many other balance changes to killers that might end up overpowered, to certain slow down perks, and the big ones of course, a nerf to tunneling and camping.

    So I am still puzzled on how they would want to implement an actual early game collapse at all.

    It likely morphed into the 'boon totem' concept. At least that's the only significant gameplay change I've seen mentioned.
