The Knotted Rope number on the latest patch is wrong by 20%, right? I hope you're right.

What could possibly go wrong with using one precious add-on slot for a stupid effect that reduces the cooldown after an attack by 2% after hitting a dog?

I wouldn't devote that kind of joke to an add-on slot that only has two killers available! Survivor can use Instant-heal and gears for a total of 8 add-on slots for items! (Isn't it funny that this is also not fixed when you can use it & see it in almost every match?)

    It was mentioned on another thread but this change was intentional as the devs are worried about the add-ons effect becoming harmful to the health of the game, and thus essentially nerfed it to the point of uselessness so they can revisit it later.

    That rubs me the wrong way for so many reasons, but here we are. Unfortunately.

    They should've waited to see what would happen to see if it became an issue to begin with and during that time have a change ready. If they didn't have one then the 2% would be an easy change when it became a problem.

    Im impressed by answer from BHVR about this ADD. They literally had almost 1 inteire year during her developing to make a great addons and test and they make a SBFL add and now they said "could be too strong combined with some perks". so, i mean, u cant see this combo before? honestly? . Since beggining of 2023 they are lost about balance. Today the game is to stressfull to play killer and to frustrating as soloQ. Much more than 3,4 year ago.
