Saw this on TrU3Ta1ent's stream:

If a flashlight is repeatedly clicked in rapid succession, it has a chance of malfunctioning and not working for a while.

(Another suggestion I saw that I liked: clicking a flashgliht on uses at least 1 second of charge).

    I like the second one. That would mean a purple flashlight with green and yellow batteries would get max 22 uses before poofing.

    Rather than adding this nerf, the killers just need to be made powerful. The clicking wouldn't even matter if killers had the power to punish bad behavior.

    I am on board with the second idea. I wager it would be alot easier to implement and it would discourage abusing the flashlight to BM. You can still do it but at great expense of the flashlights charges. It would then be a pick your poison situation.

    I'm all for this. Make it drain the battery a lot. Will help a bit as lets face it, its only really used in that way as an annoyance/bm tactic. Sure people will still do it but make there be a cost.

    ....or simply make the SOUND EFFECT only applying if not spammed ?
    No ? Since the suggestion has been made because of toxicity problems.. not balance one.
