Enjoy Killer Bots Guys
Title speaks for itself it is fair to say gen regression will be getting a huge nerf as that is what the devs love to do without actually understanding WHY players use gen regression.
This event proves alone survivors will rush gens because of a badly designed event where they pretty much have to get to EGC to get their mask.
With all the perk changes coming in it is fair to say the gen regression perks will be absolutely gutted with zero compensation to help killers in chase because let's be honest not every killer can compete.
You can be the best killer player ever you are not winning if the survivors are gen efficient and just glue to gens all game.
Be assured "IF" people continue to play killer when these nerfs/buffs go through you will undeniably see an increase in your biggest complaints and thats camping/tunneling every single game. Killers run gen defence to actually allow them to go for chases, taking this away will just make games go quicker and more boring.
Every day more and more killer players quitting because they simply cannot be arsed anymore, the game just is not enjoyable at all as killer unless you are playing in brick MMR where you can 4k at 5 gens while barely paying attention. Killer bots are just around the corner so hope survivor mains had your fun, this game is screwed in the long run which is such a shame. Much potential wasted.
Looking forward to October, Overwatch 2 beta was fantastic, bring on official release.

"With all the perk changes coming in it is fair to say the gen regression perks will be absolutely gutted with zero compensation"
It's not fair to say that at all. We have no idea what the perk changes even look like, and they've said they're going to make base changes, aka compensation

If in your games you rely only on slowdown, I think you kinda have to work on your own gameplay.
Also we have no idea what changes are coming, and most survivor meta perks are getting reworked too. So I don't know why you're making a huge deal about it, as of now

Do you guys not get tired of being this needlessly dramatic?
Anyway, the official communication has been that they are looking at the reasons why certain perks are run, so we can expect some form of compensation.

Part of the problem is survivor multiple 2nd chances but we all know survivors gen speed to killers kicking a gen doing 1/4 of a solo regression is laughably hilarious so no matter what changes come in gen speed/regression remains.
This games balance choices majority are people who don't even know how to look behind them in chase. BHVR are the only company I know of who balance their game for bricks who can't even tie a pair of shoes.

be better in chases

dude, you can literally down people in seconds but it's disregarded because you can spend most the time shift+w to distance from the killer into a completely safe loop, killer gets a hit? you got a boon up to heal up and take the hit completely away from you. the only people who say gen speed to chase speed isn't an issue are people who solo q with bricks with 10 mins in the game who take 3hrs to complete even one gen.

Can we please wait until we actually know what the changes are before making threads like these?
If they announce a bunch of perk changes and don’t address the base game adequately, then we’ll talk.

You are giving the company who nerf Wraith, Freddy, Deathslinger etc for literally no reason faith to do perk changes right? Yeah this is why the game is screwed, people don't see literal issues which have prolonged way too long everyone gotta shill the game as long as one side gets all the fun. We have already seen the mass decrease in killer players playing the game as a whole but people who shill ignore it.

I knocked out a bunch of adepts I've been neglecting and both "skilled/expert generalist" achievements. My solo Q win rating during the event has got to be 80-90%.
It's amazing how easy the game is when these potatoes actually have incentive to do gens. Usually they're too busy roleplaying like they're in a horror movie.

I dont really think they gonna buff PGTW for example.

you do understand maybe they nerfed them cause I don’t know they were unfun to verse? Im a killer main and even I admit going against these killers were not fun and poorly designed in some aspects
2 -
They definitely won't do that, but it could be slightly nerfed, nerfed into the ground, reworked...we might as well wait to see what they're actually doing it before freaking out completely

They're also the company who soft-reworked Bubba and Doctor, gave Trapper, Plague, Legion, and arguably Ghostface very competent tweaks, reworked Object of Obsession + Decisive Strike to be much more fair, and handled the annoying ubiquity of old Ruin + Undying by changing both perks for the better.
Judge BHVR on their track record, certainly, but it's actively disingenuous to act as though they only ever screw things up - and to even say those killers were changed "for no reason" despite that being really objectively obviously not true, as well - when there are also examples of really good changes that they've made, and more recently to boot.

I never use gen regression so I don't care. Gut Dead Hard, I'll take Sprint Burst any day over Dead Hard. All chases are extended by this perk, by a very large amount of time when used by good players. We won't see 75% SB usage because it actually requires a little skill to 99%, and often won't come out mid chase after you've committed. People will run Lithe, SB mostly. Probably most Lithe cause it's easy to use.

Your too quick to believe the devs are just doing this to help survivors. Both sides have problems from tunnelling/camping to gen speeds. The devs are making these changes to help the overall health of the game.
What this event has proven to me is that killers and survivors almost become more toxic when an event starts. Survivors constantly DC'ing and killer constantly bringing map offerings.

Most games is possible to end chases enough quickly so you can defend gens but ofcourse you need pain resonance or pop to properly do that. But some games you just lose and there is not much you can do. But most games are winnable.

Yeah, I agree this seems like a major overreaction when we have no idea what changes are going to be made. I get frustrated playing as killer like pretty much everyone else, but nobody should be freaking out yet when we have no idea yet what the perk changes are going to be.

Overwatch 2 beta was fantastic
lmao

They literally said base game changes are coming with these changes lmao.
Make slower gens base for the game and let's enjoy an actually fun chase meta hopefully.
1 -
prove me wrong? Literally anyone and everyone who came back for the beta have also said OW2 so far is the best OW has ever been balance wise and it makes sense because they are actually listening to esports players and not bronze mercy mains stuck in 600sr

"Killers will leave the game" I heard that story on Steam half a year ago. How long more? Bad killers will leave, well, ok, I won't.

Survivor meta perks are getting changed too. And you never really know if the perk changes will be good or bad, we just have to wait and see.

Well let's hope, they look better than they did with the Nemesis addon nerf.

oh it's not the quality of overwatch 2 i'm talking about, i wouldn't know anyways i hate shooters
0 -
Yeah... Bhvr's version of compensation might amount to a 30s corrupt basekit... So, nothing.
Just have to wait and see.

As a Survivor, I run Boil Over, Tenacity, Flip-Flop, and Soul Guard. I'm pretty sure they reworked BO (again) and Tenacity because neither of those perks seems to be as efficient as they were just one month ago. I run this build because my solo matches have been absolute sh*t lately and it usually means staying away from everyone else while gauging whether or not I should continue doing gens, or just wait out hatch. Tenacity used to recover a bit faster and the BO gauge seems to not fill whatsoever no matter how much I wiggle right now.

"The devs like the other side more..."
They are Game Developers not children 😉

damn sounds like you just want survivors to stand still and let you win

Hey guys I know nothing about what changes will be coming to the game with the perks, but let me make a hot take post
1 -
Other than Overwatch 2, i agree devs in this game repeatedly love chasing killers away from the game permanently from their lack of knowledge on high ranks. Survivors get everything and less and less killers feel like going thru the same BORING tactics of Dead Hard. I'm excited and scared for the reveal of the reworked perks.

Hope is hard to endorse when role bias has been displayed in the past.
Devs made a comment regarding their view of the same situation for both sides. In reference to players being completely stomped by higher rated opposition;
Survivor loss was considered an "unfair" match up
Killers loss was just a "challenging" match

What BHVR says vs what BHVR does is often debatable.....otherwise we wouldnt be having this discussion to begin with :/

We all know now after all these years the developers rush to nerf killers in order to benefit survivors.
Freddy - Nerfed to the ground within a week.
Deathslinger - Nerfed after about a few months because they got caught out with Freddy being nerfed to the ground.
Then all the various small nerfs killer have endured.

Tbf if he is at a higher mmr you HAVE to use at least 1 or 2 gen perks or the games over before you can even do anything remotely productive. I've had games where all my chases are quick, doesn't matter because I used a meme build with no slow down and the gens fly.
1 -
If this is true, I will make it my mission to be the only killer player left and make survivors embrace Joey >:)

There's a difference between relying "also on slowdowns" and "only on slowdowns" as op implied
