Thoughts on PTB changes

Monlyth

I won't go over every single one, just the ones that I feel warrant the most discussion.

Dead Hard- While I'm not sad to see this perk eat a big nerf, I question the wisdom of having yet another perk that encourages tunneling. The most effective way to counter this perk now is to hard tunnel the first person you hook out of the game, never chase anyone else until they're dead. That way, the only time you'd have to worry about the perk would be for Protection hits.

I guess we'd better hope that the perk stays dead this time, because if not, there might be even more complaints about tunneling.

Pain Res- I can understand the logic behind the change, pre-nerf Pain Res exacerbated the difference between strong Killers and weak Killers. Strong Killers could easily proc the perk 6+ times in a game, while weak Killers might only get 2-3 if they got unlucky on their first couple chases. And I think it's a good idea to have another perk that encourages the Killer to spread hooks around.

Here's my problem: I think the perk is too weak/inconsistent now. I don't think 15% regression per hook is enough to justify a Scourge Hook perk that also has a limited number of uses and requires you to spread hooks around. I think it would be in a better spot if the regression amount was increased or if the Scourge Hook requirement was removed to compensate. But time will tell.

Healing/Medkits- The nerfs to basekit healing seem like too much to me. I think anti-heal builds are about to become oppressively strong. Sloppy Butcher + Nurse's Calling would make it extremely difficult and extremely risky to heal.

Nerfing Medkits doesn't bother me, though. They were by far the best items in the game, and they were pretty miserable for Killers to play against.

Killer Addons- Blight is conspicuously absent from the list of planned addon changes, despite his being some of the most egregiously powerful. I'm scratching my head at how you justify a nerf to Billy's Engravings before a nerf to Compound 33, Adrenaline Vial or Alchemist's Ring.

That nerf on healing... i can already see 95% of the player base using anti healing builds, complaining about survivors rushing gens(cus healing won't worth anymore) and killers getting nerfed.

This changes are so bad in so many ways that i can't write everything... if this goes without any tweak, solo survivor will basicly die, new players will just give up about the game cus they don't know how to play hurt and they will not keep trying until they get good cus playing surv will be just suffering and good players will rush gens even more.

Some tweaks for killers are fine but why nerf hill bily again? dude!
