I had high hopes for the meta overhaul. I’d give it a C-.

I appreciate them trying to break the meta but such a missed opportunity here. Making a form of BT base kit is great for survivors. Making the gens take longer, bloodlust tweaks, etc is great for killers. But the perk changes are a mix of good, bad and who tf cares? We have like 50 perks that are never used and now… we have like 60 perks that wont be used. I thought they would make some perks actually useful so that people would actually play them No one is suddenly going to start using overzealous because it went from a terrible perk to a simply bad perk.

Obvious ideas - make boil over actually strong enough to work, increase bond’s range, let unbreakable work more than once, let deliverance work on 2nd hook, let small game alert to traps again, Heck, deleting some perks would be an improvement. No one is going to use no one left behind because of the change. It’s still trash. Make more perks viable and stop imagining it will make survivors too strong. Do you guys even play solo queue?

What really gets me is not only this aspect but… They say say gens are too fast so we slowed them down. Additionally some base killer stuff is stronger right?… But… how did everyone counter fast gens in the past? Using S and A tier killers is how. And what will people do now? Continue to use S and A tier killers, but now they’re even stronger.

For the 1000th time NURSE IS TOO GD STRONG. Mastering a hard killer shouldn’t provide you with 100% win rates. Solo queues are getting slaughtered by S and A tier killers. Matchmaking is god awful for solo queue and during off peak hours. I highly doubt these matchmaking incentives are going to provide a better / playable solo experience but we’ll see. I’d love to be proven wrong.

I think that the changes planned will finally push me out of the game. I’ll give them a shot but I don’t think solo is going to be viable except for casual games where I dont want to win. Whatever… I’m just tired of them not getting it. SWFs are too hard for killers and Solos are too hard for survivors. I’m tired of impossible games from DCs and crazy imbalanced matches that I have to suck up and play because I’m a bad person if I quit. And I’m tired of even talking about it… I’m out.

    The perk changed were definitely disappointing in some aspects

    I think you're projecting a little bit, buddy.

    Honestly I'd give it an A minus if not for one slight problem that may or may not be true. As it stands they get a C minus.

    Dead Hard is as good or better then before. Remember this is a perk with 75% usage at 'high' MMR. That is absolutely absurd and in almost any other game such a thing would be utterly nuked from orbit and decimated into unrecognizable little pieces. Especially when you keep in mind the fact it's an exhaustion perk and thus competes with all other exhaustion perks for the slot.

    You can still use it for distance since you can't do anything to them if they are one second away from safety aside give them deep wounds which isn't nothing but it's still a third health state and if you hit them they get the speed boost on top of that. It also has a load of other issues being 'Borrowed Time on a whim' such as unhooking survivors most notably.

    I really hope I'm wrong and that Dead Hard actually is overall worse and won't get used as much but I'm not betting on it. The unhook property alone will assure it stays the most used perk if not even actually INCREASING it's already absurd usage stats. Never mind it not actually fixing what it was supposed to, being a third health state. 1 second is a really long time.

    Asking for UB and Deliverance buffs when the first is meta and the second very good already ? Are you trolling ?


    Show us your 100 winstreak with Nurse btw.

    Lol. Unbreakable isnt Meta. Maybe it was at one time but it isn’t now. Deliverance isn’t that good. And the point was just that there are plenty of perks that could use improvement or be combined with others etc.

    If you don’t think nurse is OP it’s because you’re either 1) not a top tier nurse or 2) always play swfs
