New Update

Note: This is from my perspective as survivor

Okay, so far not so bad, although I have a few nitpicks. As many have mentioned already, Legion/Plague with thana, busted if they're wanting to force the survivors into generator simulator. This build: Overcharge, Call of Brine, Thana, and Jolt is going to suck for solo queue survivor against these killers.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased with many of the changes, but that along with the fact camping/tunneling killers may possibly become more evident within the coming days/weeks. I do hope camping and tunneling as a whole was looked at, because these two strategies were buffed with this update which is no problem for SWFs for the most part, but for solo queue (especially overly altruistic people) it's going to be absolute hell probably.

Thana may need a small tweek cuz it's a bit over the top at this current moment, as someone else pointed out, this update just seems like training wheels for killers, yes, DH needed a nerf for sure, as well as some things on the survivor side needed reworked/nerfed as well. But survivor has become more boring than ever.

I do hate the tax to prestige though it irks me, just like I feel there was no need for the BP bonus on WGLF and BBQ to be taken away.

The things I do like are definitely the new portraits, way better than the previous ones, the little prestige icons look cool too. Not a huge fan of the perk charms, I feel they'd be cooler if they were over the gold outline with purple coloring. It woulda also been cool if the had a cool spinny effect or something. Other than that, I can't wait to see future perk reworks for the game assuming those are coming, I'm just hoping a few of the current changes aren't permanent for both sides.

For those saying "Survivors are now seeing how it feels" please keep in mind, solo queue was in fact a nightmare before the update, and with it, it'll be worse. SWF, I really can't argue with it cuz SWF won't be affected to much. But do keep in mind you didn't only play against SWFs before the update, some solo groups are coordinated due to experience, some, not so much.

I am welcome to any feedback from both sides, please be respectful to each other in the comments. Thanks, and have a good day/night.

    Found another build to add to the mix ._.

    call of brine (or ruin), oppression, eruption, and overcharge, pair that on Legion with Frank's mixtape and etched ruler and just hope your solo queue team is coordinated

    I find chase perks much more viable now with 90 second gens and base regression. Brutal and STBFL especially have become meta picks on a lot of killers imo

    I'd figure considering I'd assume they stack with the already existing versions, just like how basekit BT stacks with existing BT. Still gonna wait a bit before I make a full decision on it, so I'll come back in a week or so with my final opinion of the whole update, it's still too early to say since things still may be changed.

    I wish Lucky Break was reworked to stop the timer if you are hiding in a locker. If you need to hide, the entire thing goes to waste and is the only reason I rarely use it

    Also, if you are looking for new ways to make use of Prestige-ing past 6 or whatever it is, how about skins that overlay blood on top of your favorite outfits? Shirt Overlay, then Pants Overlay then face. I don't know if that's possible but I always wished it was a thing. For example. I like Kate with Red hair but I'd like to be able to have the blood on her face with that head. Thanks

    I think this is a good idea, maybe for a future update or something, they can add a fourth cosmetic area called overlay, this would include the bloody cosmetics after prestiging as well as the crowns from the previous events and the masks

    Kindred base kit TODAY. I'm serious BTW, they're already shaking up the meta, they said they wanted to give solos more info, why the hell not? They could killswitch the perk and add it as basekit today if they wanted to, and simply see how it affects things. Do it! Now's a great time!

    I agree. Even as Killer-Main, I play a lot survivor (i want the archive-missions completed xD) and I think Kindred should be Basekit for Solo
