Original pain should be nerfed

I'm talking about the pinhead addon,which allows him to put survivors in deep wounds with his chain.

I personally feel its way to powerfull,as he can bypass basekit endurance + Borrowed Time.On top of that he makes DH and OtR useless.Considering endurance is the main form of anti tunneling in the game his ability to bypass it on a whim feels unfair.

How do you guys feel about this addon?

    By that logic we should nerf legion and slinger basekit since they can apply deepwound. I think the reason this add on stands out is because people hate going against ph to begin with. Perks are bypassed sometimes. It's part of the game to counter people. Fearmonger counters sprint burst. Amanita cap counters windows. It's strong. But it's not overpowered.

    The thing is,every other means of inflicting deep wound is limited or earned.Slinger needs to hit you,he didn't bypass anything.Legion gives you a speedburst and stuns himself,trapper requires you to step into his trapps to trigger his addon(at that point he got you anyway).Pinhead instead slows you down and downs you in 2 seconds,almost as if endurance was not a thing.He is one of the few characters in the game that can get an unhook not to be safe with his addon.

    So you are against Killers having any way of bypassing endurance? What is wrong with just wanting to play a game without those types of Perks? There are many things Survivors can do that make other addons or Perks useless either, is that your problem?

    If you are worried that addon is overperforming, Im sure bHVR knows the killrate using that addon, if it was too high they would act.

    The addon is fine if not abused (exactly to circumvent basekit BT). Unfortunatelly, it can be abused

    Except it does not inflict deep wound on chain hit.

    Deep wound is applied after survivor brake the chains.

    If he hit You with chain and then M1 while still on chains, then your borrowed time will trigger.

    To counter it. If You have something that can give You endurance, then wait for the hit, if You are not sure if You manage to escape after braking chains.

    You only need one chain to break,and pinhead can break chains by walking into them

    I mean, Legion and Slinger will cause the Survivor to gain a speed boost when applying deep wound. Original Pain doesn't. I don't know how I feel about this addon personally but comparing it to Legion and Slinger is not an apt comparison.

    They should rework this add-on to only inflict deep wound if you break the chains on the environment.

    (and also make it so pinhead can't break or block the chains with his own body so that he can't force the environment breaks and simultaneously increase his power's usability)

    Knowing BHVR they'll implement the first part and ignore everything within the () bubble.

    It's funny how OG Pain went from F tier to S tier due to the 6.1.0 shakeup.
