obviously I dont want to say everything is bad, u cant disagree with bloodweb changes and visual heartbeat being good stuff.

Even tho the praise stops here I really appreciate trying something major.

I wont say anything abt the maps yet bc despite them fixing the stupid car walls I feel like the maps could be even more problematic in some aspects when these two rather strong mains are in the centre

Healing is definitely the biggest thing in this patch and I already think the healing time could "just" go to 20 and it would be enough for now and maybe some changes for the medkits could be looked at again bc either way its just gonna incentivize people to bring med kits even more. An idea I also have would be to only increase the time that self heals take and the time for survivors to heal each other stays the same.

Perk updates got some good and some bad.

The good are probably gearhead and overzealous bc the perks generally got stronger and better to use.

The meh to me are dead hard and circle of healing bc I think people are just gonna stop using them entirely. Something I want to add is that safe unhooks are kinda outdated bc u kind of cant not get a safe unhook with base bt.

The bad to me are pain res, brine and overcharge. I can argue abt brine and overcharge but pain res just rewards killers for hooks that are even restricted to 4 specific ones. Just like with pop it annoys the hell out of me that killer perks that reward them for doing their objective get nerfed so hard

Brine and overcharge to me werent exactly the strongest perks ever, once again it feels like they got nerfed bc of the bs 3 gen meta killers currently stuck to. Any other way kicking a gen only for a survivor to tap it and stop the regression in seconds often felt like wasted time. I do have to say I really liked brine, to me it felt like a fair amount of regression that can be countered easily with some decent tracking added to it.

its honestly and insult to call the killer add on changes killer updates. What happened here is some garbage add ons were made stronger only for them to stay garbage. I think out of all of them pigs is the best but that legit could've been a base kit change like the title already says it. Ah yes hillbilly add on changes obviously stupid as hell too, with them being made worse theres legit almost nothing for good hillbilly players to use

Flashlight killer interactions removal are obviously kind of sad bc of less interaction tho it did always feel pretty ######### to be weaker against a squad the brings multiple flashlights

Thank you for anyone reading all of this I hope its readable lol
