A theory on why Blast Mine became weaker.

For a good reason:

Wiretap.

If Wiretap works the same as pre-nerfed Blast Mine, you would have a 3 second wall hack installation on every generator. Now, like some of you, I didn't like the changes to it. At least they could lowered the time it takes to activate the perk to, say between 45 to 50% gen progression (from 66% since gen now takes 90 sec to complete), or have it the same as wiretap, which is 33% Gen progression.

I know it's a trash, meme, and fun perk and you'll get to use it at least, between 1 and 3 times per games or sometimes not at all.

Let's just hope that the dev change Blast Mine to make it fun to use, without being annoying to killers.

That is all.

    I think its more that this is the first time it has been mentioned. It wasnt in the PTB notes, dev update last week (where they mentioned the MoM reversion), and this coming out of no where. I am aware this was reported as bug in the PTB. This just feels like they couldnt fix the bug so they just called it a perk change with no notice or why it was changed.
