I main Blight. Compound 33 and Alchemist ring need changes, they are game breaking.

Putting this short and simple, I have mained Blight for well over half a month at this point. He's fun. I don't even hug tech (except by accident on cars) as I find that cheap.


Compound 33 and Alchemist ring are stupidly OP and break the counter play to Blight.


Compound 33 being the strongest, it may be an iri quality item, but it buffs him from S tier to SSS tier. The fact he can *destroy pallets faster than bubba, and Tier III Nemesis*, is NUTS.


Pallets are one of the main counterplay to Blight, denying him of his charges and slowing him down. While they don't remove Windows, they remove counterplay.... and not only in that regard.



in about 3-4 minutes, every pallet will be gone.


The fact it can also HINDER survivors making it nigh impossible to avoid him is just overkill.


**Suggested nerf - Remove the ability to break pallets, the hindered effect is still strong but now he can't counter pallets like kirby sucking up food.**



Alchemist ring shortens chases to such a quick degree that it's complete pressure hell.


Dash and hit someone? Nice! Now you can negate their speed boost by just catching up anyways, and if they don't have DH or you bait them to do it, you get them downed instantly. Which can also help with slugging everyone or going after a flashlight savior/nearby survivor.


Blight's major downside is his cooldown, negating that downside completely is not healthy.


Suggested nerf - Gain 2 tokens back if you use 4 or more dashes. It will shorten the cooldown for longer dashes, but no longer make it instant.

    I think the addons are fine

    The c33 nerf suggested is a little overkill, the speed isn't a huge difference, it's only .12 m/s slower, speed addons makes the blight himself .55 m/s every single time he rushes, but I could see them removing the break and buffing the slowdown. Maybe better would just be reducing the break speed of the addon to like 2 seconds instead of 1.5.

    For alch ring personally what I'd like to see is to make it like billy's charge speed addon where it makes him 110, so you are now RELIANT on your power to get remotely useable chases but it significantly strengthens that power.
