Remove Blight speed add-ons completely, or give them heavy downsides
Speed to Blight is like range to Nurse: makes his already strong power OP.
Thanks DBD gods, Nurse's range add-ons were removed, for good. Hers TP while already ignores normal gameplay rules, giving it more range makes it even stronger and reduces counterplay.
Now Blight with speed add-ons, while probably feels great to play AS, is really UNFUN and FRUSTRATING to go against. His increased speed gives survivors almost no time to react, leaving almost no counterplay (if killer knows what he's doing), only prediction helps, turning every 2nd rush into 50/50. Especially given that blight has hug techs. Of course survivors have crouch techs but they are VERY situational.
Roughly, 95% of Blights run either: Crow + Rat, Adrenaline Vial + Crow, Compound 33 + Adren Vial. He destroys pallets with his power, gets his power back in seconds, survivors make no distance whatsoever and get downed almost instantly.
I hope ALL his speed add-ons will be completely removed during his rework. Or, at least give them heavy downsides, like removing 1 rush, or doubling power recovery time. I just wanted to EMPHASIZE how UNFUN it is to play against.
Adren Vial itself has so little recovery time, while he gets his power back even during his serum injecting animation, after 3-4 rushes he can miss his swing, and after animation 1 or 2 seconds later rushes again. Survivor makes almost no distance. He catches up with insane speed and strips survivor of any options to get to any safety or at least make 50/50. I swear, every time I face Crow or Adren Vial Blight, i just want to quit.
Of course, Alchemist Ring and Compound 33 are also very broken add-ons, but they are not as frustrating as there is no additional speed and you actually have chance to make Blight miss his lethal rush with jukes or make him mispredict your movement behind a wall, and Compound 33 is an Iri add-on so kinda understandable it is OP. But additional speed takes away that opportunity.

assuming all of his strong addons will be gutted in the upcoming add on pass so dont worry

I kind of agree. blighted rat+yellow speed and C33 are the 3 add-on's to "remove". Adrenaline vial is strong, i think the numbers on that adre vial could be a bit worse. the other add-on provide a lot of value but i don't think they're imbalanced/unfair. they're more like strong utilities.

yeah, i'd like to assume that too, but I had to go here and EMPHASIZE on it, so devs don't just reduce numbers a little. I really want all speed gone, because i'm so fed up of it.
literally just now i have opened this stupid game, got matchmaked against blight, he has tunneled me out with double speed, i did few jukes but few stupid mistakes, still had very little chance to survive despite i was in strong buildings. somehow i didn't feel like continuing playing this stupid game, got my 10k BP and just Alt+F4-ed
just REMOVE his SPEED add-ons. COMPLETELY

I know it won't happen but I would like to see how strong speed would be if they were made additive before outright removing the effect.
Also PLEASE make soul chemical real. As much as people dog on blights broken add-ons, he has a few of the worst add-ons in the entire game as well(specifically his learning add-ons).

already give speed add-ons heavy downsides. The faster the speed, the greater the turning radius.
but need buff Plague Bile、 Umbra Salts, give them Increases the maximum Look angle during a Rush.

You bring up competitive as if double speed isn't the forced set of addons you have to use and survivors are still handicapped when it comes to perks against one of the strongest killers in the game. Good blights still get outed all the time in competitive depending on map.
