We've lost the wholesome/amusing object and survivor photobombing with the Mori. We DON'T want this.
We can no longer be moried at one side of Maurice or the Tanuki because objects disappear.
We can no longer have a Mori partially behind some stairs, a table or a wall to accidentally make it more cinematic because they disappear.
We can no longer photobomb Ghostface when he's taking a selfie with a survivor, or pet Demo while he's ripping a head off.
We have to use Devour Hope to TRY and have a chance at doing a Mori before the last survivor, and god knows how hard that is with the abysmal Hex placements in 90% of the maps.

Some of the unintended charm of the Moris were its unintended effects. You could have a bad match and then go out laughing because a Nea decided to nod at the killer above your body while being Moried. You could get an awesome Legion or Dredge Mori to post online because it just happened to be under a table and the cinematic feel of seeing the survivor try and crawl under it was incredible.
Now the objects disappear, so goodbye to that accidental cinematic feel.
Now the other three survivors are gonna always die before you WAY more constantly (except for Rancor or Devour), so goodbye to the wholesome photobombing.
We get that you want to make Moris more appealing and constant. This is NOT the way to do it. Not only are you getting rid of the things that actually make them more constant (the green and iridiscent Offerings), but you're getting rid of the whole interactivity behind them, now they're all gonna be the very same, just with a minor change in the background scenery.
PLEASE, stop trying to make the Finishing Mori happen. It's been universally hated since the first iteration, and it's still being hated on this second one.
Just make the Yellow offering basekit (with minor changes to avoid the slugging problem everyone's mentioning already) and LEAVE the other two offerings intact.
But moreso, PLEASE leave alone the photobombing. If Moris are gonna be more regularly seen anyway, then a bit of hilarious or wholesome variety surely can be kept to give them more flavor once in a while.
Not every object or survivor has to disappear in the vicinity of a Mori being done.

There is not at all a singular good thing about the Mori nerf except for making points off it and it being basekit.

It's not even just that. The idea of Finisher Mori as a whole is simply unhealthy.
By hiding the Mori animation behind a 4k, it automatically incentivizes people to slug for the 4k...and we all know how fun and riveting it is.
Not to mention it also indirectly encourages proxy-camping/tunnelling, reduce Killer variety and perk variety in order to get that juicy animation (which I guarantee will get old really quick and will be met with more scorn than a normal 4k, it would be a matter of time before Mori animations are seen as a form of BM like "let me rub my victory in your face a bit longer with this cutscene") since when Survivors start to get better, weaker/slower/M1 Killers tend to struggle more and need to play more aggressively to compete.
Hiding Mori behind 4k is, in my opinion, only going to make people hate those animations and will make the game even less casual/newcomer-friendly than it already is.
There's a reason why the dreadful basekit Unbreakable was attempted alongside the previous Finisher Mori PTB: otherwise every single games would just end in a slugfest. Hell, during that PTB there were more bleedout games than normal even though people could get up because Killers wanted that animation after tunnelling the first 2 Survivors.
However, I have a possible idea to keep Finisher Mori BUT make it healthier;
What if you can Mori the last Survivor by your hand without needing a perk/offering BUT can only do so if said Survivor was downed AFTER hatch spawned (which means either a 3k was already achieved or everybody else got out). A Mori made in this fashion would offer a massive BP boost (further enhanced by Mori offerings which would keep their old effect alongside giving an incrementally higher BP bonus depending on rarity).
This would incentivize people to NOT slug for the 4k and play the match in it's entirety. This wouldn't affect those that already slugged for the 4k but would reward those that don't and take a gamble to win the Hatch race. This is perfect.

Nobody wants this version of a Memento Mori. It promotes slugging for the 4k. It buffs slugging and nerfs a fun aspect of the game most people on both sides enjoy and love. It removes tactics from the game. Please please please just make Cypress basekit, retire it, and then add BPs to green and Iri Moris alongside letting them mori multiple people per round. Don't make all Moris ONLY give BP, let us Mori as many people as we want. It would be a massive crying shame to waste all the effort the devs have worked on for the Mori animations this way, turning Moris into yet another sweat mechanic.

All they had to do was make yellow mori basekit. The other changes are unneeded.

Oh, god. My friend and I won't be able to play the lute for each other while we're mori'd.
Not even joking, I hate this change for that reason alone. Playing the lute during a mori is the absolute best most fun thing to do with a mori. I don't want to lose that.

It's honestly… depressing. I've been dreading them ever going through with the finisher mori concept ever since the first PTB it flopped on. No other change in the game has ever gotten such nearly-unanimous, adamant pushback from the player base like this, not even some of the most major overhauls within the last few years, and yet the devs have still been pushing this through. It makes me feel sad, like the community is not being listened to, and I simply cannot understand why.
I have a huge collection of screenshots and video clips of extremely cool or hilarious moris (whether I was survivor or killer) that would simply not be possible anymore with the finisher mori changes. Not only that, but moris have always been kind of a novelty in that you DON'T encounter them every match… that's what makes them fun, and scary. A mori every match, on just the last survivor every time, is going to get stale reallyyyyyy fast. Goes from "wow, been a while since I saw a Hag mori, forgot how creepy it is" to okay yadda yadda whatever, tabbing over to discord until the results screen comes up

Exactly. Where's the point of just making gameplay a little less fun?

I will continue to boost every single post about the moris until the Devs get it through their heads that we do not want this change. Yellow Mori basekit and the points event in round thing are good, but gutting green and iri Moris is not wanted, needed, necessary, or valid. The amount of BP you make from the new offerings is piddling and terrible. Not even worth bringing.
