Bring back lightburn

Playing against killers like nurse, wraith, artist is simply unfun and unfair. Those killers were balanced around lightburn and either they need a nerf or light burn needs to come back.

Especially wraith needs a nerf to his movement speed and shrinking maps makes it even unfairer.

    Not wraith but for the others, sure. Burning crows off your teammates mid chase was really cool.

    ...we don't see how they were balanced around lightburn. Aside from wraith who was burned relatively often, we've only seen maybe 3 nurses lightburned and never had our crows burned off as artist. It was a neat trick, but it didn't really affect anyone other than wraith.

    Seconded. Wraith is one of my go-to killers and I have a lot of respect for survivors who could pull off lightburn, particularly with flashbangs. Nurse could absolutely do with a little additional counterplay as a top-2 killer. Having some counterplay to Artist's crows that didn't involve eating them would also be nice.

    The only one I would argue against reintroducing is hag traps, but that's because you can now wipe them so there's no need to have 2 options

    Wraith is definitely not balanced around lightburn nor does he need a nerf, it was only a bonus to his kit if a survivor so happened to have a flashlight. But I do believe that lightburn should return for all three killers, they were unique interactions and satisfying to outplay the killer with. I personally loved going against lightburners as Wraith because it's a fair competition of who can outplay each other.

    Also bring back burning Hag traps with beams, basically the only form of counterplay against a proxy camping basement Hag.

    The devs are not fans of having counterplay in the game. They want 60% kill rates minimum. You are supposed to be helpless and at the mercy of the person playing killer while playing this game.
