    I just want to mention this, but if a Survivor is trying to get a save with Background Player, chances are they probably dont have Exhaustion considering the fact that they are passively following the chase.

    And to an extent, some of the perks mentioned are kind of useless for the first chase; e.g. Genetic Limits and Septic Touch are too gimmicky and rely on you dropping chase a lot in the early game, Mindbreaker will get no value since they arent on a Generator anyways (MB is better for countering Sprint Burst), Blood Echo requires a hook and you havent hooked anyone yet.

    IMO, I do think Background Player is a bit overtuned. Flashlights and Flashbangs are perfectly fine though and should remain unchanged, since if you remove them, you could just go for Sabo and Pallet Saves and Background Player still would remain the issue here.

    They nerf flash lights out of lockers but allow flash bangs.. that should say enough to how ignorant the system is. I love the run a perk to counter a perk as well! It's so funny you expect my 4 perks to counter all 12 of yours, still have gen defense to counter your gen rush builds and be viable in a chase since windows now allows bum players to loop great. Makes sense.

    Right, right. Your 4 perks to counter all 12 16 perks.

    If you had to do that…. They wouldn't have, "still have gen defense to counter your gen rush builds" or "be viable in a chase since windows now allows bum players to loop great."

    Thats way too many perks, chief lol. Anyway, your point is moot regardless.  It's so funny you expect my 4 perks

    I don't expect your perks to do anything. I don't care about your perks. Go perk less, go full blown meta. Your perks are yours to cherish. All those words you splatted on the forums kind of make you look like you just want to get people riled up.

    that should say enough to how ignorant the system is. I'm not convinced its the system, but rather killers who got caught in this situation and suddenly, an abrupt salt storm overcame them. Your example also just sounds like you're echoing something you heard somewhere.

    Not trying to attack you, but you also strike me as someone who wouldn't mind that either.
    But I'm not, for the record :)

    Yeah, I rarely get blinded (maybe like 1 in 20 attempts actually works) except at pallets, and half of the few that do work are with my face in a wall from some inexplicable angle that seems impossible. The other half are (well) coordinated teams who plan to go down in the open.

    But the overwhelming majority of the time being aware of your positioning and/or facing a wall with thwart just about any flashlight/flashbang save attempt, regardless of how fast they get there. Most attempts are just pathetic, really, and I'm glad they are wasting their time trying.

    That said, I'll occasionally throw on Lightborn if I see 3-4 flashlights in lobby, and more often if I see no items in lobby, because that usually is an item swapping flashlight bully squad.

    Part of the issue in these conversations is people like yourself can't not make it personal. I've not degraded, name called nor am I salty. I 4k wayyyyyy more games then I don't. The perks that make one mmr considerably balanced completely ruins the game in other mmr levels. I don't know what mmr I'm at but I do know I see the same 6 perks every game on every survivor so yes, to be viable I have to counter your perks. The attack here I suppose would be saying unless you're a potato still using urban evasion in a corner, you can't disagree with the situation. Facts don't have feelings homie, stop taking it personal.

    There's nothing personal here. I saw some things I wanted to address, so I did. Just forums for dbd talk, nothing more I assure you :)

    Sadly, the forums have been very vocal about disagreeing with you. People do want band-aid perks to continue.
