I know the metas gonna just be no heal but for the people wanting to heal i think it will be pretty good. Sloppy plus the naturally slower heal just being able to eventually skip forward a few times and pick up survivors from half slugged won't be so bad. Finally maybe a decent perk. (I hope)

Edit: oop i just realized some tubers posted a video on this. Ive been working i swear! Don't shame me!

    Its gonna be used a lot more. It was never a bad perk... just powercrept by 16 second heal speeds that could then be sped up by other perks and self heal efficiency.

    Also the funniest thing is to just keep quiting and doing the heal against sloppy till you get 5 but id rather just finish the heal. It will be interesting to see it again.

    It's eh right now, and will probably be decent, I don't think it'll be super duper common though.



    If you've used autodidact before you already know what its drawbacks are, and they aren't going away. Everyone talks about its RNG but that's only half of it, and will actually get better due to heal time increasing. The other half is that the way the game pans out can screw you. If you don't force yourself to do the first unhook and can't safely heal them alone you can become a huge detriment to the team later on when you have to heal someone at an important time and it takes like 45 seconds.


    So really, that means that its best moment to shine is against killers who employ hit-n-run tactics, since then you'll get 5 stacks quickly and have tons of opportunity to use them. It's already really good in those cases, the most use I've gotten out of it was against 3-genning skull merchants. But who knows what killers will do in most games, if you're just unhooking and healing then it still might not be worth it.
