META

So I get wanting to make more perks viable but I have to ask: did you really have to bring back the 2018 meta? I mean my matches as killer are all the same, old DS IW DH + one other perk (most of the time finesse.) Please tell me isn't going to last another 4-5 years this time.

Also can my boy Ruin get a buff so we can slow the game down just a lil'bit and go full OG meta?

    cant make killers stronger, gotta bring in more survs (4:1, ya know) so they can bring in their friends. this game may die if the catch-up sequence is real. the old ruin everyone would complain about, but I mean, if theres the meta ran all the time, you know what that tells me? theres no fun builds that are viable.

    This was more than obvious when the developers announced the Iron Will buff that we will go back to this time. I see this combi quite often too and it will be more once the DH bug is fixed. I also see Distortion and Iron Will users. It is just so stupid. Mandy told us they buff this perk to push perk variety but good job! Now we will see the same four perks while the other ones get used less.

    What also bothers me is that the developers are so unreliable and bad at making conditions: They nerfed Pop because it was too easy to use but at the same time you have nothing to do to activate Iron Will - in fact - you get rewarded for beeing and staying injured. They also give some perk the most obnoxious conditions that nobody will use them and then one perk that is just free to use. Also that they really think buffing Stridor is the solution.

    I really hope the developers won't wait months or years to rework/nerf Iron Will but I guess this will be case.

    It's not like they're the same iterations as before. DS and DH have been nerfed since, and IW has more conditions than before. Not to mention with the vast amount of info perks at a Killer's disposal in this current time, IW hardly has the power that it used to.
