Basekit BT should be it's own status effect

With Diminishing Returns now in play, this should be changed to its own effect, like Bloodlust. Babysitter has been shadow nerfed just for existing with Diminishing.

    Wait so does that mean that borrowed time doesn't extend the duration of the off-hook endurance as much because of diminishing returns? That can't be the case. It would be insane.

    BT still has the same increase to the endurance duration, that didn't change.

    What did change is that Babysitter's haste value gets lowered by the off-hook haste since they stack and are in effect at the same time. The duration is the same, but the effect is reduced until the base BT expires; instead of getting 20% total for the first 15 seconds you now only get 15% total as Babysitter's effect gets lowered to 5%. Once the base BT expires (or if you take a conspicuous action to end it early), Babysitter reverts to 10%.

    Makes sense, agreed.

    I think the majority of people have this opinion. But BHVR doesnt, their philosophy here is that they would rather balance in small steps before things get out of hand.

    But IMO this is not really smart. Everyone knows that some Perks are only worth when using with specific other Perks and BHVR also should have data about it. I mean, they just need to compare Data of how often Perk A and Perk B were used together and how often only one of them was used. They will probably see that this barely happens.

    I also think that Diminishing Returns would have been received less negative if there would have been changes immediatly. Because now it seems like we will have to wait quite some time to MAYBE make some Perks viable.

    @Topic:

    100% agreed. In general I feel that the Basekit Anti-Tunnel measurements (so Basekit Endurance and Haste) should be completely different from any other effects. So that you can tinker with either of them without affecting the other in a unwanted way (like it happened here with Babysitter).

    I still wonder why BT timer isn't paused when survivor has been unhooked and is being healed. It would make sense to pause it's duration for that survivor so long as they haven't moved yet.
