Self care is the perk that I'd use 99% of my matches in solo q, it's much more reliable than my teammates in solo q, it's not even OP, not even close, in fact I've never seen SWFs using it but solo q players and it's barely enough to get my self healed but after this nerf it's going to be useless, please BHVR it barely does what it does, don't make it completely useless, self care doesn't need a nerf

    Seriously. Self-Care was perfectly balanced as it was, and now it's a joke at best and a noob trap at worst. The only players who are going to bring the new version are the scared survivors who Self-Care in a corner as soon as they get injured - they're just going to be even more of a hassle for their teammates now.

    Remove the medkit efficiency if you have to, but there's no reason to touch the healing speed. It's balanced. It's exactly as time-efficient as one player healing another, but with a greater risk of interruption rendering all sunk time wasted.

    Also, yeah, going after Self-Care when CoH is still miles better was a bizarre choice. CoH's nerfs just hit a parity where Self-Care could be better to have in some few situations, and now CoH is better in every single way again.

    From what I see it nerfed from ground to underground, no killer complained about it, they just did it because it was one of the most used perks

    The only nerf that Self Care should've had was to remove the bonus charges you get when using a med kit. Since that alone was most broken. Reducing the speed from 50 to 35 was overkill and this is gonna hurt the newer or low MMR players the most.

    Self care just went from awful to abysmal. Totally bizarre and unnecessary nerf, but honestly if no one ever runs it again, I'm fine with that.

    As a surv I hated seeing teammates self care for five minutes while everyone else is dying.

    If you miss it self healing, bring a medkit plus the new Botany Knowledge, because that is gonna be strong.
