When are we going to address slugging?

This issue has gotten 10x worse this past patch, because for some reason the devs think that killers need moris basekit. Now every match is just killers slugging people out instead of hooking so they can get the mori.

There needs to be a base mechanic to address this. Funnily enough, they were going to do this alongside the original basekit mori, but forum killers complained and complained and so the devs had to roll it back. Typical.

Come on, devs.

    Survivors equally complained about the finisher Mori so much (and for some good reasons) so they scrapped both the Mori and basekit UB.

    Basekit Unbreakable as it is NOT needed and would be way overturned. Maybe an UB that was 90 seconds and gave endurance and a speed boost would be good.

    Pretty much like killers have to run lightborn all the time. It hasn't been that bad since flashbangs was killswitched but since they have been activated again lightborn is a must for a lot of killers because it can be nearly impossible to hook people with so many flash bangs and flashlights.

    Basekit unbreakable was the only slugging fix that was ever implemented and complained about. So they were for a fact talking about that. Basekit unbreakable was 45 seconds too which was too strong.

    I agree speeding up bleed out should have been a thing forever ago. Gears Of War did that back in 2006 because they thought 10 seconds was too long and it also speed up your crawling. I’m not sure how you would rework hatch though.

    You don't play the game enough, with the nerfs to 2nd chance meta slugging has became more and more achievable as the years since 6.1.0 have went by, why? Because no one uses these perks and they were the backbone of DBD survivor for as long as I can remember.

    Casual players arent running DH, Unbreakable, Decisive, adren anymore, not that they arent less effective in these scenarios. but they conditioned killers as a whole to switch targets. it's more the state of the way the game is played by the larger audience as opposed to your personal experience as killer.

    I'll always stand by second chance meta was a necessary evil for the casual side of this game and made S tier killers a more arguable concept they were healthy for the game, now IMO not so much with the new higher kill rates.

    But I still see them all the time? It's rare to see a game without at least one of these perks. DH, DS, OTR, Adren…

    Kinda like a firecracker: fuse ignites the payload and it’s gone.

    And on a more serious note: they are finite in most use-cases.

    They just nerfed an anti-slugging perk. What do you think they will do about it? Right, nothing as always.

    that would imply being capable of remembering more than one iteration of a thing.

    watch these (not these in particular, they are survivor biased, same kind of folks with killer bias) people cry how dracula was made unplayable when they roll back one of his buffs or merely halve it.

    A slightly reverted buff is still ultimately a buff. Or was WGLF stronger when you had to earn the Endurance with unhooks and protection hits?

    Fine-tuning. These changes occured within three weeks. This is not 6.1.0 which changed perks that hadn't gotten touched in years. In a vaccum without any considerations you are correct, this is a nerf, but seriously? The perk received two buffs and kept the stronger one.

    Fine-tuning would be the umbrella term for buffs and/or nerfs. Dont even try to start some irritations on terminology. Thats just distraction from i asked for.

    So from which point of status do we look then? Just random what you need it to be?

    I don’t get a 4k as killer maybe one in every 20 games… I escape as a survivor maybe 1 in every 20 games… playing killer is easy, it’s not actually playing.

    Nothing about dbd is a game at the moment. Killer easy 4k, survivor guaranteed death.
