Lights Out would be better with Perks/Items/Addons
First post on the forum, hello gremlins of the fog!
I really like the new modes emphasis on a more tense, scary match. As survivor you second guess yourself much more, and as killer you have to be more precise and surprising. It brings a new feeling to matches that I haven't felt since old DBD when like Hag and whatnot were coming out, I love it.
That said, the mode kind of feels repitious after a while, since the only real difference between matches is map and killer. I know the stripped back nature of the mode is the point, but I can't help but feel like enabling perks, add-ons, and items would create a very interesting and unique meta.
Although presumably Gen Slowdown and Second Chance perks would still reign supreme, other kinds like Information and Stealth Perks would also gain a huge buff. The strength of killers also fluctuates a fair amount from base game. Although Nurse and Blight still reign supreme, Doctor and Singularity also feel like top tiers sometimes. Ranged killers and Artist especially takes a blow, with the exception of Phead and Deathslinger. It's cool to see how things change with the new rules of the match. Overall, I think the mode would've gotten more attention and hype if there were more means to vary up the matches. I might even suggest that it stick around if these changes were made.
Any thoughts?
