When its not tunneling or proxy camping (camping got removed btw) people are just complaining that stbfl needs to be gutted. are we seriously at the point where stbfl is enemy number one?

    Facecamping is the only form of camping that's really been eliminated. Proxy camping is still very much alive -- I still see it in my matches with some regularity.

    Personally, I think the calls for a STBFL nerf are pretty unwarranted. It's strong, no question about that, but it's only helpful on the weakest killers anyways. You're only going to rack up stacks if you're regularly hitting survivors with M1s, which the strongest killers (Nurse and Blight) don't really do. And even then, it's easy to lose stacks unless you're playing a killer that has an easy-to-use M2 like Pig or Demogorgon. The only killers getting consistent value from STBFL are the ones that are widely considered to be on the weaker end of the roster, like Pig, which is why I don't have any issue with it. Right now, I think it helps to bridge the gap between the weaker and stronger killers, and until the weaker killers are improved, I don't think it should be changed too harshly.

    Calls to cap it at 6 stacks seem fair enough though, as that would align it with the version that existed before killers got the built-in reduced cooldown a few updates back (I think, I've heard this discussed but not run the numbers to check myself).
