So the new Boil Over Update is going about as expected
Just as everyone expected and to absolutely no ones surprise SWF squads are already abusing the Boil Over buff. Im already starting to see map offerings for Ormond, RPD or any map with a notable drop mixed with offerings for extended hook distance. You add body blocking, flashlight saving and sabotages and your chances of successively hooking a survivor are virtually zero. Hell, the drop off of the Crotus Penn main structure with no impediments between me and the closest hook provided enough distance for the survivor to wriggle free.
Does any want a meta where slugging is more prevalent. No I didn't think so. But that's the only play around that will work on certain abuseable maps. You cant expect the killer to waste 50% of their available perk slots on Iron Grasp and Mad Grit, not with generators popping as fast as they do. Not when they have 4 perks to the Survivors 16.
The combination of Boons, DH, BT, Boil Over and Add-ons make for insanely frustrating gameplay.The only killers who are going to stay in this current format are going to be ruthless, unscrupulous and nasty, that or ignorant baby killers. Chivalrous play is not rewarded so it is not to be expected, which sucks because camping, sluggung and tunneling are lame, and boring for both sides. Does bhvr hire clinically deranged psychologists to craft insidiously awful game elements for some sick sadistic pleasure, cuz is sure seems like it.

The devs don’t want chivalrous killers because the killer is the killer. A RL killer would eliminate us by any means if we tried escaping. They want you to camp, tunnel, and slug. Play cheap and make players rage. The same way survivors DH, BT, and flash the killer.
This game is meant to be incredibly toxic. So if you’re not toxic I suggest not to play anymore.
I always run Iron Grasp against SWF. Because they’ll try to save. Combine Iron Grasp, Starstruck, and Agitation to stop all the altruism.
The New Dead Man Switch can keep survivors off of gens. Apparently the block is every time you hook someone. Not when it’s the obsession. 🤔

The survivors are basically throwing just to mess with you. Just keep them all slugged and play mean and they lose anyways

I doubt it's happening in 95% of you matches, I'm willing to say it's a one in 20 matches were you get squads like that. Doubt it's happening that prevalent as some are making it seem here lol. Regardless, it's not the perk that is the issue, it's the hook map spawn locations in that case.

Run agitation starstruck for the next day it's not uncounterable and if you're on a strong killer it won't matter. They can't all be close to the spot if they want to do gens.
