Blood Warden: Problem? Or not?

Blood Warden is funny exit gate perk. I should probably start running it more often since it's actually better than it first seems. Also it's just funny.

So, opinions on Blood Warden?

Let the Blood Warden revolution begin, GoobyNugget.

    I love Bloodwarden

    It doesn't come into play probably 80% of my games and 19% of the time it does come into play, I might get one more kill out of it. But man...the 1% when I manage to get a bunch of jerk survivors doing jerk things and having BW pop out of the ground and murder them all for their insults makes it so very worth using it, even if I am effectively handicapping myself with only three perks for most games...

    Very situational especially when the meta is to 99 the gates. but man, when it works, it works so good. I like it the way it is.

  • It's a fun perk. Definitely not overpowered due to it's counterplay

    It's pretty meme at best IMO. Definitely not a problem.

    It’s a cool perk but is about as likely to work as an MMR system in dbd

    Yes! Use it! I feel like I hardly ever see it when I play survivor. I love to see a good end game build, Blood Warden is one of the few things in this game that still makes me panic lol.

    I also hardly ever see it. I think it's an underrated killer perk.

    Think it’s a crafty play as killer; don’t mind BW as a survivor as I’m usually expecting it

    ...Remember Me gets me every time, tho 😔

    As a survivor main I both despair and laugh when I see blood warden pop up at the escape. I'm always like "YUP that's my luck, it tracks." I like it.

    Typically just a wasted perk slot, especially with MMR (I know this is only a test but the Devs seem dead-set on introducing MMR so it's likely going to be introduced permanently at some point in the future). If anything, some sort of buff would be nice. It can be incredibly fun though and is VERY powerful against Survivors that forget that it exists.

    I think it should decay Exit Gate progress. It's just so situational as of right now because you can 99% the gates; which sucks because it's a fun perk to use when it actually triggers.

    if it regressed exit gate progress then it would lose the surprise factor because survivors would be like "oh its regressing better leave before he hooks someone"

    Nah I love that perk, it's well-designed and fun as hell. Plus, it takes effort to get it working, since it requires you to hook a survivor when an exit gate is open.

    Never made it far into the match to be able to use it. But man is it fun to meme with when you're able.

    This Perk needs to exist imo.

    It always adds fear to the endgame.

    I think it’s a perfectly balanced perk. Can really help a killer get a few kills depending on when during EGC it goes off.

    Fun perk but suck it doesn't get played that much.

    That's the point. Survivors will know it's coming, but now they can't avoid it.

    Blood Warden is fine. If you suspect it just leave the game and don't open the gates until after the survivor gets hooked. If another teammate opened the door hide really far away from the gates and you should be fine.

    It's a bad perk. Good Survivors will 99 the gates and won't let you proc it. Yeah yeah, we've all seen the clips where some cocky Survivors get screwed by Blood Warden, but it's entirely the Survivors' fault when it goes off.

    Now that No Way Out is in the game, there is 0 reason to run Blood Warden imo.

    Blood warden is completely fine honestly if you suspect it just leave instantly screw teammates

    Rarely used, and even more rarely ever activated. I would rework it so that it's actually useful.

    It's not a problem. Way too hard to get to work.
