The devs largely following statistics for balance is why the game is struggling
Besides a rather slow work pace. This is the other great reason the game is held back blindly following statistics is why the balance is all over the pace. Take example that Mid-Chapter patch where the devs deemed Wraith was a “Wee Bit OP” obviously this was only in lower MMR. But, they for some reason thought a viable three blink Nurse was balanced. You cannot tell me that makes sense. Or the recent one where Twins have add-ons nerfed because high MMR. Yet figured Blight needs another strong add-on. See the issue they aren’t balancing around what the community says. Only the statistics. And because of that the balance becomes stupid like this. No consistent balance for either players veteran or new. And why the game is in a rough spot.

The devs pick and choose when they want to balance off of the statistics, and when they want to balance off low or high MMR. They're totally inconsistent.
Another pro- Adrenaline Vial nerf post. Sad.

People were complaining about wraith cause they thought wraith was to easy to use. Survivors considered him “braindead” cause he could counter almost any loop with his lunge and speed. They said he was new Freddy in terms of gameplay. Him being braindead to play as and against

I’m not saying Adrenaline Vile needs to be nerfed. Where’d you get that? It just makes no sense why Blight got an add on buff. While he already has. His Iris,Alchemist Ring, Blighted crow+ rat plus and already a top 5 base kit. While there are killers who can desperately use stronger add-ons or base kit. But, instead of say Myers or Pig who could use this they decide Blight who doesn’t need it.

Nah those changes never had anything to do with some statistics. Otherwise the statistics would be way more over the place than anything else.

I'm more disappointed in all the stuff not being touched, even though you never see them. Does 10-15% of the stuff in game need nerfs? Yes. But 35-45% of what's in game is irrelevant, and I wish it wasn't that way.

It's the fact that you have to mention it, and frame it as a counterbalance for your argument. "Blight gets another strong add-on!" So now we're against add-on variation? We're against killers having options instead of being pigeon holed into using the same thing every time? All because a weaker killer could have done with an add-on buff?
Besides, this is all I've been seeing since Adrenaline Vial got buffed: "Too strong! Crutch! Must nerf!" Sorry I assumed! But can you blame me?

Blight already had strong add-on variation. It should have gone to other killers who desperately need it instead is the issue.

Give Spirit her old addons back, give Wraith back his lunge, remove SBMM, boons, and Dead Hard, and MAKE. DBD. GREAT. AGAIN!!!

Wraith was like Pre nerf Stridor Spirit and Old pre nerf Freddy, way too easy to play and dominate against 99% of survivor playerbase, you played a game or two and that's it already master

Wraith was only strong vs new/bad survivors and the vast majority of complaints were them. Good/decent survivors actually flooded each thread defending him but to no avail. Vs average to good survivors he was easy to counter and he could only consistently hit them with his lunge speed at small/unsafe pallets.

That’s just not true. Wraith could only dominate new/bad survivors and he struggled vs good survivors as he was easy to counter with a bit of experience.

Blight doesn't need any stronger add ons, he is already the best or second best, he has a strong basekit, there are other killers who need it much more. There is just so much inconsistency when it comes to add ons in this game.

Well I had the highest killrate with pre nerf wraith his lunge was like Myers with unnerfed coup de grace, only god or very good survivors stood a chance.

No offence but that’s probably against lower MMR survivors and I’m speaking from personal experience in the past. I’m not saying he was weak overall, it’s just that he was S tier vs bad survivors, mid tier vs average survivors and low tier vs actually good survivors.
So they essentially nerfed a mid tier killer to make him easier on new players etc, but at the expense of everyone else, and the nerfs he received didn’t actually make him less dominant in lower MMR as the survivors still get hit by his lunge anyways due to poor positioning, but it did hurt him vs everyone else. Typical BHVR lol.

He could have better add-on variation though. Because the language people are using, "All ever see Blight's use is X and Y add-on" insists that he doesn't have enough add-on variation, even though he does use like 4-5 add-ons, not the same 2 every time. But the more the merrier. Can other killer use add-on variation? Sure. But any killer buff should be a plus.

If he gets a new strong add-on, he'll use that sometimes, instead of just the same ones people like to complain about all the time. They ask for something, and then they complain when they get it.

It still is sort of odd they gave it to Blight instead of some of the other killers who have literally all bad addons. Artist, Pyramid, Billy, etc all could have used some love before Blight.
Artists best addons are a brown and a yellow, you think they would have learned from Rat Liver but I guess not.
But not that I'm complaining, I absolutely love adrenaline vial and it's my new favorite addon for him. You can spend pretty much the entire game rushing which is awesome. Especially with endfury compound 33 so you just smash into everything with his face too, an ultra rare actually worthy of being an ultra rare is a luxury many killer characters don't have.
