Biggest issue with this mid chapter I feel

So personally, I think the biggest problem isn't actually the nerfs but the lack of buffs in other things. Ofc the nerfs were imo justified all around, but other perks should've been buffed in significant ways for a true meta shake up! You can't JUST nerf the strong stuff, weaker things should also be brought up and I feel the amount and severity of the nerfs weren't compensated with by overzealous getting an extra 2% (1.8 seconds on a gen) increase to repair speed. Why didn't overzealous also get a minor healing speed bonus? Why are so many F tier unused perks with less than 1% pickrates not touched at all? I feel to truly shake up the meta, these things need to be addressed alongside nerfing the stronger things

    Totally agree, make some bad perks fun give people something new to try to compensate

    Some more perk buffs would have been nice, I hope we get those in the next update. But I do think that bringing down the strongest perks is more important at the moment.

    My biggest problem with this update, from what I can tell, is that there is no nerf to camping despite the major healing nerf, which will cause serious issues if nothing is done before the patch goes live.

    I do think the healing nerf is a very good idea, though 20 seconds would probably be better, but not without certain other changes.

    There's like 60 bad perks.

    There's like 70 bad add-ons.


    Changing 6 add-ons and 8 perks an update isn't gonna work.

    Definitely needed replacements for the meta perks in order for people not to be upset about losing them. Gearhead’s better and definitely more worth considering, but still overall, mediocre.

    " Ofc the nerfs were imo justified all around,"

    Really? You think that Billy needed to be hit both on his mobility and his only two decent addons?

    None of the nerfs to either survivors or killers have justification as listed - they all need work.

    I was baffled by the Billy addon nerf. Like... why? It really is just numbers the devs look at.

    I forgot about the Billy nerf (Id be lying if I said it didn't make me happy since I never have fun against billy tho lol) but COH, DH, and 3 gen meta needed to be hit with a huge hammer esp DH. DH is still pretty usable but at least you need to earn it now, COH is dead as it should be, and 3 gen meta got hit extremely hard as well. Only perk I didn't think that needed a massive nerf was Pain Res but oh well I wasn't a fan of going against it anyways tbh
