Xenomorph changes are VERY bad

Firstly what the hell is going at BHVR to nerf mid B tier killer into the ground while Nurse is unchanged since so long.

Thoses Xeno change needs 100% to not go live, not just changing numbers they need to be reversed and here is why :

"Increased the Tail Attack charge time to 0.35 seconds (was 0.2 seconds)" So this is very bad in the PTB, a guy named MrHeadAche tested and say that it's 0.75 seconds instead of 0.35 wich is very believable, it just feels like lag at this point. The tail wind up then stop then lauch every ok survivor with a brain can dodge that and it make the xeno way more cluncky than before

"Increased the Tail Attack charge volume for Survivors." This is fine, it's the unique change that is fine in the list

"Increased Killer Instinct range when exiting a tunnel to 16 meters (was 12 meters)" Decent but it's not very helpful

"Decreased the missed Tail Attack cooldown to 2.5 seconds (was 3 seconds)" In the PTB it's doing nothing at all, MrHeadAche tested this also and it's just exactly like before there is no decrease at all so they just made the tail way worse

"Decreased the time it takes to exit a tunnel to 1.5 seconds (was 2.25 seconds)" Correct but it does not match the animation and it's bugged so when you exit a tunnel xeno is always looking up so you have to manually making him look in front of him EACH TIME

"Increased the amount of fire required to burn The Xenomorph out of Crawler Mode to 175 (was 100)"This would be fine if it wasn't for the next changes...

"Increased the delay before heat begins to dissipate to 15 seconds (was 1 second)" #########, like why, you just nevzer dissipate heat, if you are hit by a turret for more than 2s you should just wait for the turret to burn you and leave chase, it's so long you just can't use the power like this because it's going to be removed so often

"Decreased the rate at which heat dissipates to 2 per second (was 25 per second)" WHAT ???!!! So it takes a while to start to decrease and when it's decreasing it's that slow, you just can't do nothing against mediocre survivor now, if they just place turret a bit far from control station you are going to loose your power no matter what, there is nothing you can do you are going to loose your power

If you want to change Xeno don't nerf him, buff him or rework him, he is a B tier killer and chest are prioritizing over his control station. He is one of the least played characters in the game why would you want to do that. What's even the point of adding the Alien franchise wich is one of the best if not THE BEST horror/sci fi franchise of all time and one of the most popular if it's to treat it like this.

As I sayed those changes NEED TO BE REVERSED and BHVR should wait to just rework the character instead of just nerfing him into the ground by changing values.
