Blight is fun - Unless you're going against the same build 50 times with no stop & Sweat Lords...
Ruin, Undying, Tinkerer, BBQ & Devour Hope sometimes to replace one of the perks. Throw an Alchemist's Ring in the mix & the match is going to be super fun...
Blight players never heard of build variety.
I'm glad Blight has received 50 buffs up his ass since his release & Billy hasn't been touched since August, almost a year...
I'm honestly mentally exhausted from seeing Blight...
I'm a SoloQ Player, I honestly despise going against Blight cause I know what to expect. He's honestly the only killer that kills me in a majority of matches. The same story, the same build, the same wait last second before you hit someone in lethal rush. Going against a decent & patient blight is a bloody nightmare and a half...
Not to mention how extremely forgiving the lunge in Lethal Rush is...

How dare killers run strong builds on the killer they are playing and try to win.
35 -
Ah yes.... Why come with interesting builds & challenges when u can literally play Blight on easy mode and dominate 99% of your matches...
I don't like you.... You are always the first to comment and give snarky / smartass comments like these that gather the most upvotes..

I stopped running gen regression on pretty much every killer I’ve ‘mastered’ and continue to 4k. Thing is now the matches are way more interesting than before with pop/ruin.
I’ve pretty much kept my strong builds and replaced my gen regressing perk with a tracking perk (discordance, whispers).
I look at builds like this (Ruin, Undying, Tinkerer) as training wheels. Some people need them longer than others for each character.

Blight isn’t even good against competent players XD
These “sweatlord” topics are the most toxic on the forum. If you can’t be bothered to try to win, you don’t deserve to win. People who do try deserve to beat you. Either get better and run competitive builds, or accept your losses.

Being honest with how buggy and outright broken blight's power is, its not hard to see why people go for the strongest build to make up for all the game breaking bugs he has.
There's also the fact that some maps like ormond or the new RE map are both borderline unplayable for blight for separate reasons.
That's all before you realize this is in addition to how unforgiving his power is.

How dare Killers run META perks and not ask other Killers what they are running!
Rule #5432 of the Survivor's Handbook states that no Killer shall run META in case Survivors already ran into a Killer using META, and are tired of the Killer META! Killer must run 'fun builds' (As determined by Survivors) and 'play off-META sometimes' because Survivors demand it!
No, this does not work in reverse; Survivors can, and will, run META on all 4 Survivors in every match, ever, and the Killer cannot complain! 😁

Killers are your opponent in the trial. Their job is to kill you. They are not required to run builds that you personally find fun.
12 -
Ok I assume this is just a rant but people are free to play with builds they want. And it is not surprising that someone does meta ones in video games.
7 -
Pretty much a rant.
Haven't seen a different build on Blight in a long long while. It's quite painful to go against as a SoloQ Survivor.
Yeah, people are free to play however they want, but still... damn....

I understand don't worry.

Look as much as id like to run fun builds with blight playing him is already playing
blight vs survivors vs their perks vs collision vs bugs
id rather not also throw in balancing perks and addons into the mix so it looks like
blight vs survivors vs blights perks vs their perks vs niche addons vs collision vs bugs vs brown vs board of education
I will keep using the simple build and strong addons until the rest of his gameplay becomes manageable

Your comments are as relative as ever to the topic & definitely not meant to fish for upvotes.

This. Quit bitching and git gud, like Killers have had to do since day one. Adapt.
5 -
I'm glad you realized that.
Did you also realize that the whole point of my comments was to point out that you can't decide how someone plays, and it's silly to get mad that your opponent played the META?
M.E.T.A: Most Effective Tactic Available
You're angry that your opponents are not goofing around for your entertainment. Opponents who don't even know they will be going against you. Who don't know you, don't know when you in a match, and rightfully don't care what your view on the perks are?
You are acting like they should play off-META simply because you're tired of the META. Like they should be able to see the future and cater to your whim for...reasons?

Since when making a Forum account earned you a Psychology Degree?
I swear there's a handful of you on this Forum who try to diagnose & dissect people mentally & psychologically...
You're angry that your opponents are not goofing around for your entertainment.
.... What...?

When it is less effective?

'Since when switching builds & tactics is considered goofing around?'
Since when does the Killer have to switch tactics and builds for your entertainment? Because that's what this thread is; 'I'm angry Blight players keep using META'.
Why would they stop? Why would they switch it up if they just want to win? Why should anyone comment on what perks and tactics others use?
And what would you call it, when people switch off META? Surely they're not trying to win, if they're not using the META, right? That's not a bad thing, mind you. I'm just saying; if someone wants to try their best to win, they'd use the Most Effective Tactics Available to do so. SO what is it, if not 'goofing around'?
Your thread is that you're angry of the Blight meta, but that implies Blights should stop doing it as per your request. Why? And how will they know they're fighting you?
It's like logging into DBFZ and saying 'I'm tired of Goku Blacks everywhere. Why not use Krillin sometimes?' and expecting people to do so just because you said so.

So how long till this thread gets locked? 🍿

This.
I don't mind going against a Blight but going against the same build over and over again is just boring. He's the only killer I face who has the same setup every single time.
I get that the build is efficient but you do not have to run it EVERY SINGLE GAME. Even Spirit players have more variety.

My Blight runs BBQ, Dragon’s Grip, Trail of Torment, and Make Your Choice. Canker Thorn, and Foxglove to recover from rushes faster. Best add on ever since the update made him feel weird. ToT gives him Undetectable for ambushes as he traverses the map. Dragon’s Grip ensures no one touches the gen granting him Undetectable. Since he can immediately rush back when survivors do. I’ll hook players at more open hooks where I can see the savior trying to get away after trigging MYC. I’ll try to cut them off to down them. If the injured friend takes the hit pray that they have Decisive. Anyone abusing BT to take hits for their buddies, and simply not to get away gets tunneled. Always. Idc. Sick of 3 people running BT per match. Getting free saves and then body blocking for free protection hits. Basically carrying them the whole match. Then when I’m survivor not a single soul is ever running it. Every time. I get the most unsafe rescues. 😂

Should be very easy to get used to it and play around it then.

What variety are people expecting Blights to run?
3 -
Use Small Game. Destroy totems, he is playing with 2 perks now. Simple.
4 -
as a solo queue survivor, I hate playing against a Blight with Ruin/Undying/Tinkerer, it's painful and super boring and i don't wanna throw on some totem perks when it's not guaranteed the killer will have Ruin and potentially Undying with it
that being said when I play Blight my current build is BBQ, Sloppy (for when I don't have my ability available and can go for M1 hits), Nurse's and Lethal Pursuer
1 -
Yeah. It sucks when variety is lacking, especially since Blight has so much theoretical variety.
6 -
Are you Na or Eu by chance..
Cause i normally run Pop Shadowborn Nurses bbq on my Blight
0 -
It is but that isn't the problem I'm talking about. I rarely struggle against Blights. However playing against the same build again and again gets repetitive and boring. I'd love to see something other than ruin, tinkerer, pop and bbq every time.
Hopefully the devs will buff the weaker killer perks to make some variety accessible for Blight mains.
0 -
Rancor is the best perk I have for Blight and even that is unacceptable to use.
There's no pleasing survivor players so wasting time, effort and energy to please them is a pointless endeavor.
1 -
Because when killers come with interesting builds and challenges regardless of chosen character survivors show up with the same pool of perks and try a speedrun the game because their scoring is so wildly out of whack that short, crappy games lets them pip while killer needs to force the game to slow down by any means necessary and unless the devs are going to add 40secs to each gen at base then sometimes all you can do is play sweaty meta and then both sides have no fun.
I play primarily for bloodpoints and would love to have fun messing with perks. When I do though I end up not getting enough bp to make the time in lobbies waiting worth the wait.

So what builds do you use versus killer?
0 -
unfortunately the problem is meta perks right now are too good compared to other perks, so players have less reasons to play other things
1 -
This is a 1 vs 4. One Killer has 4 perks to choose from, so he has to choose carefully. 4 Survivors combined are 16 perks total. Playing survivor, whether solo queue or SWF gives you more freedom in choosing a variety of different perk builds to choose from.
Therefore It makes more sense for a killer to choose META perks while Survivors can switch around with different perks.
What different 4 combination perks would you recommend for Blight Killers than? Have you used these perks yourself and if so, how have you fared? Or are you a Survivor player which gives you a narrow perspective?

Use Detective's Hunch and shut down the Hexes quickly.

What do you want blights to run? Beast of prey?
3 -
Obviously. You see blight is an s tier killer so he is ONLY allowed to use perks like fire up, hangman's trick or cruel limits otherwise the blight player is a disgusting sweatlord for trying to win and deserves to be perma banned
5 -
There is nothing easy about playing Blight. If you think youre getting stomped by Blight players, regardless of their build, either you or your teammates are just not that good. Not the Blight player's fault. That build is used for when they actually go against survivors that require it, unfortunately there's no way for the killer to tell what he'll be up against.
Also, the game has 24 playable killers. Is that not enough variety? You also need to have the killers to use every build in existence?
Also god forbid players are actually patient and don't just make things easy for you... I guess i forgot that trying to win and playing well as a killer is a sin.
3 -
what worth is that "win" when you used the strongest build to achieve it?

Even though I think killers should be able to run what they want, I have to agree with you, Blight is a bit too oppressive with those perks (unless you're going against SWF). It's okay if you run it but I personally think it's too much.
I think the issue is not Blight himself, but Tinkerer, and maybe solos being miserable to play. The Ruin + Tinkerer combo is already extremely powerful on high mobility killers, especially on Blight where it can be overkill due to his god-tier mobility. It doesn't matter if your gen is at 95%, when Tinkerer procs Blight will be there in no time, and Ruin will regress it down to 60% pretty quickly. Do the gen again and Tinkerer procs again. Couple that with Undying and your Ruin is secured if you're lucky.
Personally I run BBQ, PGTW, Shadowborn, and Lethal Pursuer on my Blight, with no add-ons. The build is able to handle SWFs and get a good start. At least one slowdown perk seems necessary against SWF, so I put PGTW in there. I'm beginning to master the new Blight with his butter tech, so I may remove PGTW sometime.

EU, Eastern Europe to be more exact.

Yeah, its a pretty boring build. I have avoided that build like the plague on my killers. But if people are wanting to win they'll go for the best perks. Same with survivor.
There's players on both sides who aren't metaslaves, but you're less likely to experience it as survivor due to the 1VS4 aspect.
1 -
The same as always?
This low-key shaming to try and control Killer's behavior is hilarious.
5 -
That would honestly be a great solution, however i do not think you are playing against blight every game. So there should enough variety in gameplay or not?
1 -
Damn..
if you were Na. you could have a chance to verse me so you could experience what a good blight can do,
Sorry yer goin' through those builds,
0 -
Honestly, i kinda agree that most Blight run the exact same build and that it's just becoming boring.
For me a Blight running Ruin + Undying + Tinkerer is basically taking a super fun killer to go against to the level of Legion : boredom.
At least Spirit players are known for running Stridor but the rest of their build is pretty versatile.
1 -
- Also the killers play against the same 16 survivors perks every game.
- Lethal rush is a special attack, and the amount of perks with the stupid m1 condition give you less choices.
- Right now Blight is a nightmare to play, sliding randomly on props make him frustrating and inconsistant, plus the new m2 bug.
2 -
That is how meta works: many of the same few perks are used more then others.
Trust me, I'd love to see more perk variety overall too on all Killers and Survivors, but some perks will always be stronger then others, and will be used more because of it.
Still tho, imho it's not awful. Blight is a really well balanced Killer. The issue with versing him is just the same with many good Killers- to get a game against him where you get a 2 man out, you either need to have a good, coordinated team with a decent map (The first of which is already hard to come by in solo queue), the Blight to get some super unlucky totem spawns, or him to make some major mistakes, like letting someone run him for too long.
He just suffers from the same issue as a lot of really strong Killers- their best counterplay is buying time for your team to do gens, which is a hard sell when you're playing Solo Queue- and when many Survivors normally want to at least attempt a few secondary objectives- like heals, chests, totems, etc for archives and points- and all lack the coordination needed to do extremely well against a good Blight.

I fell victim to this build using it constantly. Thinking I was a great blight player. But after switching the build to enduring spirt fury BBQ and pop/ruin/shadow born, I quickly realized that build carried me. Blight is waaay more fun if you try different builds.
3 -
I feel bad for most killers. I think blight is singlehandedly going to get tinkerer nerfed, due to how many of them use it. Not 100% sure why one of the strongest killers in the game tends to be played by people who are very perk/add on reliant.
2 -
When the killer meta is all generator slow down perks what does that tell you about how fast the generators get done in the average match?
DEVS, IM LOOKING AT YOU
