The exposure mechanic in this event is so frustrating as a survivor

What was the thought process behind this? I'm being serious: explain the thought process and how you thought a sudden exposure mechanic would be fun for survivors. I path effectively as a survivor and suddenly get exposed? Hello?!?!? This is so frustrating. I have to intentionally play poorly because some bot killer in bloodlust 10 is going to snap expose me unless I'm chaining pallets every 2 feet. You guys lean into party game elements way too much.

    I have found it quite hard to get the exposed effect in chase with a survivor. It only pops up after some time in chase where you first are given the option to block being stunned. I think it could help getting some killer adepts though, so not surprising to me that it is being used a lot.

    I overall like this mechanic, but yeah exposed on command shouldn't be a thing.

    It's kinda funny that killer can get bloodlust from injured survivor and when you go for bodyblock you get exposed.

    I saw the expose be used once and the duration is rather short that I was still able to outlast it.

    I really think people are overrating it.

    If it's 1s or 1 minute, it does not matter. You would understand if you ever played tombstone piece meyers.

    Anyway, in my experience expose is not that bad. It's super rare for me to be affected by it in surv games and can't ever apply it as killer. Bloodlust should not really be a thing - at least it shouldn't get you hits very often

    You also can't bodyblock for your teammate. David got marked by Ghostface and I tried to bodyblock for him and he just exposed me with the event ability.
