This new developer update is just garbage on top of trash
Let me start by saying I will see how this plays out, but from face value this seems like a game destroying update.
Let's focus on Killers. I have started maining The Doctor because his buff is super OP, and now he's getting another buff??? I mean this will help get more rift tasks done, but it's going to such going against him.
I don't want to hear any ridiculous trapper update that doesn't begin with "the trapper starts with all his traps". But at least now his traps can't be sabo-ed which was a "big" problem and will "definitely" improve his gameplay.
And the Plague buff just goes to show that this killer was bad from original concept. Smart Survivors figured out long ago not to cleanse unless you reach endgame or you escape the tunnel long enough to do so. The killer was designed with an ability that could be robbed of them. Hi Legion!
And to end this, as I prefer to play Survivor, sabo-ing change sounds like horse crap. I'll test it, but this just sounds like it's going to make it less likely than it already is to Sabo a hook.
Toolbox change was expected, but why are we destroying all of our add-ons at the end of a round? is this going to affect the key add-ons that you don't lose unless you die or escape through the hatch? Don't even get me started on the fact that this is going to be so buggy that you're probably going to lose your item half the time anyways.

"Let me start by saying I will see how this plays out"
Too bad you made this thread then isnt it?

OP = Need to actually think to 'counter' it

Add-ons are one time use, just like it is for killer.

Nothing they add really matters until matchmaking is fixed. I lost the will to play survivor after this rank reset. Turned it on to do challenges now and yeah unless the killer is afk there’s not a chance I’m ever going to get 5 unbroken emblems.
Just out with noobs and killers that are halfway competent. Can’t even touch a gen because you’re that busy unhooking/healing other survivors.
Then you have killers like Ghostface and Legion that are about as much fun as a bullet in the head.

Is the doctor really a buff because his maddest points system was overly convoluted and now it's simple?
The only reason to move to a half tier whole tier system and remove decay is to devoid all those weird point values.
If they didnt remove the decay some hits wouldnt move madness for two shocks in a row. And some shocks would jump you up two tiers... it was inconsistent for survivors and hard to track for survivors so they made it simpler.

As a plague main I dont really see the need for any buff considering I have a yellow add on that does the same thing...
So they can take that back out and imo. Because I usually dont use corrupt and instead like them all to be sick for the 1hk the more pools filled the longer it takes for them to heal and that's all time not doing gens. It's my slowdown builds tbh with thana and dying light.
So an extra pool filled means its gonna reset the pools sooner for me.

The doctor is op.. yea I'd rethink that mate lol at higher ranks he still gets looped easily enough and usually they dc after 3 gens are done with no hooks.
I actually like what they did. They looked at problems that would come from changing toolboxes and made some decent changes. We'll see how sabotaging turns out but I'm happy with the plague, doctor and trapper changes.

Ah, shoot.
Way to contribute!
And what if I use a White Ward? Do I only keep the item when the killer keeps the add-ons?
You're right. Matchmaking is the main thing breaking this game. When I keep pairing up with gray ranks, I feel terrible for squashing the killer, and hope we're not causing people to quit because they're in poorly matched games.
It really didn't seem difficult to comprehend, and it's 100% a buff regardless of how you reason it. It makes the doctor stronger.
Ok, you can't be serious with the trapper! Give him his traps to start with already! Lol

Lets not forget that most of the community wants either keys or moris or both nerfed and yet the developers keep putting tome challenges in the game encouraging their use. Just what everybody wanted! 🙄

I'm definitely tired of the Tome and Rift. It worked well over the holidays because I had more free time, but my time playing has slowed since I started a new job. It kills the completionist in me, but at the same time I could care less about cosmetics, charms and backstory you can just read online.
I miss events. :'(

The play on words was well intended haha

Yes QoL changes equal buff. Is losing madness regression really that important outside if making the mechanic more confusing?
You ignored the main point of trappers QoL changes which was resetting traps
I guess ever killer is bad because survivors can counterplay them.
Sabo change is fine it makes you chose between gens and hooks with your toolbox
And I'm sure all the killers would love to keep their add-ons so welcome to our world.
Saying your gonna play it out doesn't make you any better than everyone else complaining about things no one has seen. Plus if you look at people who actually play this game for a living (Paulie ester, the king, otdarva, ECT) all of them really like the idea of the new changes.

It's almost like they are changing matchmaking And it totally wasn't literally the first thing in the dev update.

Because until that comes out at some point in the future, potentially anywhere from 3 months to 2 years who knows - that makes all the problems existing with the game right now magically disappear overnight right?
Just get into game after game where people are afk or give up on 1st hook. All that goes away because new matchmaking is coming one day! Sure is going to be a fun time between now and then

Excuse you but the first sentence of your comment I quoted was "Nothing they add really matters until matchmaking is fixed." Your the one that made it sound like matchmaking was a fix all.

I must be the only one then that doesn't give the doctor's power confusing. I had no issues zap zapping.
And I'm sorry that I'm not going to get excited about resetting traps. He's a weak killer that has to run around the map to find his power. People only played him last quarter because the Tome made us.
I didn't say I was better than anyone else. Just out here for some quaint discussions.
