Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

I guess no one cares about how Killers will be punished for doing there job now

Well i guess Killers have a Survivor rule book at hand now while playing The Game now.

If you as Killer see 3 Gens Pop on ur first Chase and you need to get a single kill before 6 hooks and you need to get a Kill Quickly you now will be punished for doing ur job.

Its like telling a survivor they can't do 3 Gens before the killer gets 6 hooks the Killer will get mega Buffed because they are doing there job.

I hope survivors are ready for the only s-tier Killer meta and long Q times Epidemic because no one wants to play Killer because they get punished for doing there job.

Oh let's not leave out the survivors who will possibly abuse this mechanic and ill give some great Examples

1( survivors can now purposefully kill themselves before 6hooks to get a Gen Buff to buff Gen Rush Builds)

2( survivors can just Wear or use the Same survivor to look the exact same to confuse the killer on purposefully making the killer tunnel someone out)

3( survivors will laugh or BM and will be left alone knowing that if they get tunneled out the killer will lose. Which just means BMing will be used way more often)

4( Cheaters will kill themselves without being hooked to buff there team members)

5( survivors will be extremely hiding so the killer will only find the only 2 survivors in the trail forcing a Gen Buff)

6( survivors will abuse the 6 hook state rule to force killers to waste there own time looking for survivors they haven't hooked yet)

7( you no longer as killer can kill AFK survivors because you will get that penalty if you kill them for being AFK. Always remember this Guys)

So Let's just think about this for a second. If I as the Killer the Bad Guy they Thing Working for the evil Entity should Ignore a Survivor, who is on death hook when I only have 2 hooks and 3 Gens are done. im supposed to just Walk passed them like they are not even there and try to find another survivor who is god tier at the game btw, to waste my own damn time while that person resets and gets back on Gens finishing them before I even get a Kill. Yeah Make that make sense "Oh That makes sure everyone gets a good Experience" yeah but what about the Killers Experience huh. What is the killer supposed to do to have fun in this game. Because removing something that was in the game that Helped Killers win Games or just to get a Kill, will do more then hurt the Killer Side it will destroy it.

So Again Get ready for s-tier Killers and long Q times because im Sure and im very Sure btw that this will make the game unplayable and unfun for both sides

    Yes these changes will push everyone to play s rank killers. If you try to play low ranks you have to change your mindset and realize this isn't a competitive game, but a fun party game and killers will just have to semi carry water for survivors enjoyment. These changes just add more ways for killers to arbitrarily punish themselves and more things we have to keep track of. In addition, the survivors will of course abuse all these once they get a chance and it will all be fair game no rulebook needed. It seems forced play with token buffs is all were going to get.

    Exactly. Its why people will leave or go to stronger killers just adapt to the changes

    If 3 gens pop on your first chase that’s a skill issue. That has nothing to do with the Anti Tunnel feature.

    You would be tunneling because you misplayed. That’s not the survivors fault.

    The Killer role has been a much more profitable role than it is in other games like Evolve and F13th. Something like a 4k at ANY skill level should be EXTREMELY difficult. I mean getting 3 Survivors out of the match is a win, so I hope these changes try to teach some of these Killers that they don't NEED a 4k. Getting a 4k should be a blue moon moment. I hope these changes make that a reality.

    Its only a skill issue on the killer side when they have to us strategies to catch back up to gen rushers, but if the survivors have a weak link we need force play changes, basekits, and second change perks.

    No its not either sides fault its the way the games Designer's fault morely. Some chases I've had only where like 20 seconds and 2 Gens Popped in that matter of time. If there solved the reason why most Killers Tunnel which is Gen Speeds right now then they might solve issue.

    But punishing what could be a new player for doing what there suppose to do which is kill or do Gens is not engagement that's Disengagement from both the Killer and the Survivor.

    1( survivors can now purposefully kill themselves before 6hooks to get a Gen Buff to buff Gen Rush Builds)

    Not true. Devs have stated they must have been hooked at least twice back to back.

    2( survivors can just Wear or use the Same survivor to look the exact same to confuse the killer on purposefully making the killer tunnel someone out)

    Killers will have a notification on their ui on who they hooked last.

    3( survivors will laugh or BM and will be left alone knowing that if they get tunneled out the killer will lose. Which just means BMing will be used way more often)

    What the heck even is this critique?

    4( Cheaters will kill themselves without being hooked to buff there team members)

    See response to your first point.

    5( survivors will be extremely hiding so the killer will only find the only 2 survivors in the trail forcing a Gen Buff)

    Devs are giving survivors mini BBQ and Chili and Mini Furtive Chase each time you don't hook the same person back to back.

    6( survivors will abuse the 6 hook state rule to force killers to waste there own time looking for survivors they haven't hooked yet)

    See my point to number 1.

    7( you no longer as killer can kill AFK survivors because you will get that penalty if you kill them for being AFK. Always remember this Guys)

    Why not? See my point to Number 1.

    This is an issue for low tier m1s. Many survivors just run finesse. Windows and predrop

    This is the only change I'm not liking. It only benefits survivors and killers that are behind late game say only 1 or 2 gens left at that point someone needs to get tunneled out, but this new system can put killers into a lose-lose situation with no chance for a comeback.
