thoughts on removing the burn from Wraith/Nurse

Just want some thoughts on removing the flashlight burn mechanic against wraith and nurse.

when wraith was the only stealth killer it made sense to have a counter but in the current game does it really stand?

Nurse can be burned to stop her blinks. no one would try this against a good nurse bc the nurse would know how to counter it and flick blink. This mechanic only hurts baby nurses who are probably not getting downs as easily or dont understand the mechanic.


also want opinion, does it feel like a BM be burned out of power? (not counting if they flashlight click or t bag after, just the burn itself.) And do you consider it fair/ balanced?

    Fine with Wraith being burned. hard to do anyways.

    Ive never burned a nurse I don't think.

    I like it. It's thematic and unique counterplay.

    It's fine on both killers. Most people don't use light burning enough to really see if it is problematic for them.

    I like light burn simply because more diversity in mechanics is good.


    My issue, is Nurse's is near impossible to pull off and Wraith doesn't really need that counter.

    I think this mechanic is fine and should be added to more killers

    Wraith is an actual bottom tier, he doesn't need a mechanic that punishes him for... using his power near someone with a flashlight?

    If lightburn got removed from Wraith he'd still be pretty bad, but less frustrating to play as. Like how Trapper used to have his traps get permanently sabo'd with toolboxes and Saboteur. Outdated mechanic that punishes players for picking an already bad killer, no one would be sad to see it go.

    Against Wraith/ Hag... i think the burn should be deleted. Against Nurse... flashlight players should be able to expecto patronum it. That would be hilarious. (I'm joking).

    I'm kind of impressed when survivors use the flashlight to disrupt my blinks. I'd rather keep the mechanism in the game.
