Why was blight hug tech removed when chucky exists?
Im gonna make this as simple as possible
Blight hug tech
>Can bump if an object is slightly out of place
>had to look down and in a certain and easily discernable direction to perform hug tech
>Was not as strong as just pure bump logic, was just fun
>Counter able for good survivors
Chucky
>Slides on all objects, not getting stuck in dash
>Can perform whenever they please, and if missed it goes on an 8 SECOND COOLDOWN! Also they are shorter than most objects so you cant tell when they are preparing a slice and dice
>Better than stealth plays, just bline the survivors
>Predictions must be made to dodge instead of educated guesses
As an old blight main it just upsets me that people hated hug tech so much yet they added chucky, its okay to want to remove things that seem busted however when you proceed to have something like chucky which is just the better and more bs version of the removed ability you create a problem

Both are (were?) boring and should be gone, but let's at least give Chucky a patch where he works correctly (so not this patch) before deleting him.

8 second cooldown, it is 10 seconds. blight used to have hug tech as base-kit balance. it is weird that they removed it because it is like removing nurse's ability to look down to stop blinks. it is loss of skill expression in using the ability, a loss of control, either way maybe they'll blight…. which sounds like odds sentence to say.

Wait, nurse can’t cancel blinks? Why not? I’d assume she’d still suffer the fatigue.

Blights shtick is he has massive mobility, but to the point that if he’s trying to hit something with it he ping pongs off of things.
Hug tech circumvents that and allows finesse around corners without the consumption of a rush charge.

it is not just about canceling blinks, it is also about blinking faster or slower based off how much you look up or down. it gives you that edge as nurse in the chase… just like blight used to have an edge for those that understood the tech. keep in mind, a lot of player won't fully utilize killer's kit.

Oh, gotcha.
Better to chop of that end tidbit so the kit can better be tuned without having to consider outliers.

Because Chucky was specifically designed to be able to slide on objects and can't travel as far as Blight can. Blight can reposition after each bump and continue in a different direction, Chucky only gets 1 dash at a time.
That said, Chucky is undeniably too strong right now and does need a nerf. (And based on the looks of it, he's getting one in about a month.)

Was he designed to slide on things?

oni say hi to you

Chucky? Yes, he's similar to Oni in that regard. The difference being Chucky can't dash longer than 1.2 seconds (unless you scamper)

Ugh. I despise the Oni’s slides.
Just feels so detached from the animation and locomotion in order to do all that stuff.
Not too much to complain about it given his Power has low uptime, but it put a sour taste in my mouth.
