    Just hypothetical, would you just take it with a laugh if we had a 4 weeks event were red pillars of light could be run through by the killer that exposed all survivors for 10s, no strings attached?

    The first 8 times you go down you would receive a mask or charm, after that it would be just 3.8 weeks of random exposed downs.

    "That's just a change of pace. Enjoy the ride and chill and don't take it so serious. "

    I am honestly curious.

    When the developers already stated their preferred balance to be already slightly in the killers favor, I'm fine with a temporary event that marginally benefits the normally disadvantaged side.

    Plus your scenario would be pure nightmare fuel for solo queue. Rewarding survivors for jumping in a snowman (where they can't work on gens, totems, unhooks, or heals) was already one thing but to actually hand out rewards to run up to the killer to get instantly downed? How would solo queue even work in that scenario? Take a look out at the forum and you'll see people already complaining about people giving up in solo queue, I don't think there should be any incentive to make it worse.

    Finally, I played in last year's event. It really wasn't half as bad as people are claiming which is why I'm fine with this year's event and I'm sure everyone else saying the same thing had the same experience. The amount of times a snowman was used as a "third health state" was miniscule compared to the amount of goofing off or lighthearted fun was had with them. This was not only confirmed with my personal experience, as both killer and survivor, but by any streamer I watched during that time.

    I'm worried about the interaction with wesker's power. If bounding a snowman with a survivor in it just causes wesker to slap the snowman then im just gonna not play until the event is over.
