Dead Hard will be used less and healing is now mechanically more ineffective

... Wasn't this asked for in a way? DH usage will drop to half of current, and healing will happen less which will provide more pressure for killer.


Didn't the community want this? At least killers? This seems to be an alright change.

    Because this community will whine and complain about almost everything. There's even people complaining about the visual terror radius.

    Because overkill nerfs will always be frown upon.

    If you take a perk like DH, whose main strength was versatility and slap a Deliverance's requirement you are effectively killing it.

    Same with healing, one thing is to want healings to happen less but killing the best healing perk, nerfing heavily all healing items and increase base healing all in one patch is trolling.

    If you ignore all the interactions and consequences it brings for the game.

    Yes, a lot of people will complain about anything, but you have to filter the feedback and implement changes that would make the game better and more fun.

    What do those changes do:

    • DH- Survivors will use perks to get away from chases, reducing the chase time for the survivor and killer. While DH was a perk to extend chases and extend their interactions and mind games. So the game becomes less interesting
    • Healing- Well now altruism is even worse then med kits, so med-kits are even stronger and necessary. Or survivors will just not heal all game and rush gens as fast as possible, making games end ridiculously fast. But now tunneling and camping is even better, because protecting that survivor will be harder, heal him back up will be harder, reseting to go for an unhook will be harder because you have less time (hook timers are still 60s), if a killer is camping you need 2 healthy survivors, 48 seconds to heal, 60 seconds with sloppy, oh well guess that survivor just dies, sorry.

    Bhvr has good intentions, but this changes are a fail. And the past months a lot of their updates and content has been a fail.
