How pop works now

Its simple

Pop got changed and people got crazy

How it is 20 instead of 25 regression but how there is that 2.5 instant regress so basically 22.5 but anyway

I don't understand what people mean by the current progress thing or whatever because they say that now regresses slowly or it doesn't regress the gen to 0 it it less than 20 because pop now doesn't regress gens that's lower of its regression

I dont understand

Someone explain

    I'll try to make it simpler, it is a bit confusing:

    Old pop:

    25% of 80 (bc 80 second gens) = 20 seconds removed no matter how much repair progress it had. This is why if a gen had less than 25% and you popped it, it would go to zero

    New pop:

    20% of the repair progress itself. The regression itself is based on the progress and not the complete amount. This means that the more a gen is closer to being finished, the more regression you will get from pop and vice versa

    Alright think of it like this:

    Pop's regression is a percentage of how much progress the gen has at the time of the kick

    So let's say it's at 50%

    you take off 20% of 50 from the generator which would be roughly 10 seconds (maybe about 12 ish if you add the 2.5%)

    Let's say it's at 99%

    It'd take off 19.8 or about 21 seconds with the added 2.5%


    The more progress a gen has, the more Pop will take away from it. Vice versa, if you have a gen at 25%, you're only taking away about 5 seconds

    So basically it starts fro, 0 and goes to 20 percent regression max based on the time it's been worked on so now there is no guarantee 20 percent regression at all times

    Damn dude even with this example I barely understand it .

    They should really change the perk description. When they nerfed it they only change a word and that's it

    It was definetely overnerfed. It should take 30% of progression now with how it currently works or changed to back how it was but instead taking of 25% but now taking 20%.

    At 100% gen progres pop works same as before, smaller progress = smaller pop

    I think I still get enough value out of pop to not use it on some killers.
