5 to 7 months for two number changes?

  1. Ultimate Weapon - 60/ 80 second cooldown
  2. Decisive Strike - 4/ 5 second stun

What's backing up the pipeline that basic changes turned into tortuous olympics?

BHVR getting 3 gen'd in their own office right now😔, every time somebody makes progress The Knight summons a guard at their computer.

    Because neither of those changes are sufficient on their own.

    If they change DS back to a 5 second stun it will become too easy to weaponize it against the killer again when not being tunneled. That was a problem with the old one, you don’t see it much now because it’s a lot weaker (and against actual tunneling it’s not good enough). They need to make a change that makes it better for anti-tunnel but doesn’t make it better when used aggressively. DS should not be good when not being tunneled, it should be good for anti-tunnel and only anti-tunnel.

    Increasing UW’s cooldown wouldn’t change how strong it is when it’s actually active and would not be enough of a nerf.

    Don't forget releasing unfinished features! (Player Cards) That is also more important than 2 number tweaks! /s

    Oh yeah, I forgot people used DS like that.😬

    I'm going to disagree with your UW opinion though, giving it an 80 second cooldown would be fine.

    The perk doesn't stop people from doing gens, nor does it make them easier to catch.

    Could be worse, Twin rework has been pushed back several times, it’ll quite literally be 2 years since it was first mentioned if it goes through with this set time this spring lol.

    Because it’s not just a simple number tweak there completely reworking the perks to make them not annoying for both sides
