Devs You have Zero Excuses For This Joke Of A Decision.
So you're telling me that something like gear head was too op so the devs nerfed it but yet soul guard still isnt nerfed when it's already op and unbalanced especially when you add other op perks with it, There is literally zero excuse for this and there isnt a chance in hell that this flew over the devs heads they knew exactly what they were doing and I'll guarantee they only nerfed gear head because of killers like spirit lmao, If soul guard still isnt nerfed by 2 weeks later then this will only help prove my point.

Im yet to see someone using SG today. idk what are u talking 'bout

I'm going to be honest, after toying around with soul guard it's fairly conditional. Yes, I'm aware it can force you to change playstyle if survivors are under the effect of a hex, but there isn't always a hex, nor do you have the time often anyways.

Yeah, okay... it's not OP lol.
15 -
Because it just came out today lmao, Wait until 4 man swf survivors get ds, unbreakable and one for all with it, Mark my words you will regret it lmao.
2 -
Just wait until 4 man swf get ds, unbreakable and one for all with it in red ranks lmao.

One For All?
2 -
Okay survivor main lmao and wait until 4 man red rank swf get ds, unbreakable and one for all with it lmao.
0 -
Its not op at all lol
you can play around it by either picking them up, or waiting a mere 6 seconds, its not hard lol
0 -
And it'll be mostly useless, because I rarely slug, and even if I do, rarely do I use a Hex that is revealed early game on most of my killers.
1 -
Soul Guard only have a great chance working against hex perk like NOED. When the killer decide to slug you to get that one hit on the other teammates. Otherwise, as a survivor I do not see myself keeping any hex perk up doing a trial. The perk is not active when there is no hex totems.
1 -
Assuming survivors had BT was already bad enough now you want every killer to wait even longer if they simply get picked up from getting healed lmao, Just wait until 4 man red rank swf get their hands on this with ds, unbreakable, bt, or one for all, These broken combos will be disgusting mark my words lmao.
0 -
okay and that's for you only and there will still be times when you need to slug or have to go after someone else and just wait until the combos with ds, unbreakable, bt, and one for all come in the meta lmao.
1 -
just to clear things a little.. are you a spirit player?
1 -
No the perk still works with no hex you just cant get a free unbreakable if there isnt no hex totem and this is going to be even better reason now not to get perks like ruin when they can just keep it up while still doing gens and getting free unbreakables lmao.
0 -
I play all killers but spirit is my fav dont know what that has to do with anything tho lmao.
0 -
4 man DS and unbreakable ? I will send them to cage and final judgement them 1 by 1 ( not even carrying him to hook )...
so my question how to DS me and unbreakable me ?
0 -
Well, Forced Penance got a buff.
0 -
My main point of this post isnt even really on how soul guard is op but mostly rather how they actually believe things like gear head are too op so they nerf it but not soul guard, There is literally zero excuse for that lmao.
0 -
That's only if you're playing pyramid head and veen then it's not guaranteed but good luck to you if you're pretty much almost any other killer having a 4 man swf that uses soul guard with ds, BT, unbreakable, and one for all lmao.
0 -
it's the most unfun killer to go against, so stop bitching about perks you predict are going to be OP
0 -
Okay and? That perk is garbage compared to soul guard lmao.
0 -
Excuse me, the most unfun killer to go against is Freddy and Legion.
Freddy because it's so obvious he had BBQ, Pop, Swing Chains and Jumprope making the game last 3 days.
Legion because he's sOOOooOOO boring.
2 -
She's only "unfun" if you don't know how to play her and try to loop her like the average killer lmao, I main her so i have no problem countering her as survivor when I don't even main survivor and my killer choice had absolutely nothing to do with me pointing out how soul guard is op, Might want to pay attention jimmy and try to be more relevant instead of sounding like that salty survivor who doesnt have the skill to counter killers like spirit XD.
0 -
This post seems like ramblings of a confused person. The perk is extremely situational and also why would i worry about it if i don't run hex perks? you do realize the time to recover from being slugged is around 30 seconds right? also why would you want to throw in an extra situational perk like unbreakable? the build would be just a get off the ground build at that point you might as well throw in tenacity. I don't feel this perk is going to be used a lot and if it is well i mean hey they got up after i slugged them it's my fault at that point.
3 -
Soulguard, like unbreakable, is only useful if the killer slugs while using a hex. I've rarely gotten an anti slug build to work, because I rarely go up against someone that slugs. Maybe if you combine it with a sabo build
0 -
Also it's not a prediction survivor main jimmy, It's a fact that the perk itself is broken lmao <3
0 -
Honestly garbage if they're not running a hex.
Great counter to Noed in slugging situations though.
0 -
Survivor main? I play far more killer than survivor lol
0 -
And you sound like a confused person who doesn't realize that red rank swf teams are going to take advantage of this broken perk not only against red rank but low rank as well by using perks that will make soul guard even better like ds, unbreakable, BT, and one for all lmao.
0 -
They nerfed the perk, calm down.
3 -
It's literally not just for slugging lmao, You get hit with the mending action if you get healed up from the ground then if the killer hits you which is a free BT that is always active with or without a hex and if theres no hex then that's why survivors will just run unbreakable and if there is a hex then they can keep using free unbreakables until the hex is down which the survivors get to control, How do you not see a problem with this lmao.
0 -
but it's not? it's literally extremely situational in probably 90% of games if not more the killer will just pick you up upon downing you. This isn't very viable when there are options like BT, ds, dead hard. This isn't a super strong perk in any sense.
1 -
You're literally only focused on the slugging aspect but don't realize survivors get a free BT whenever they get healed off of the ground and get hit by killer, expect to see a lot of we'll make it's with ds, BT, unbreakable, one for all, etc lmao.
0 -
you are constantly repeating yourself and you do realize it only gives them BT for like 4 seconds after getting up right? it's not constant.
3 -
Because I'm right that these combos will be broken lmao and it's 8 seconds actually after being healed OR recovered from the dying state and you're gonna try to tell me the extra free unbreakables on top of that doesnt make it op XD.
0 -
It's situational at best. there's really no point in trying to point it out to you because you aren't listening. I really don't slug people or see people running in for quick heals. This isn't a very good perk compared to other perks to get yourself off the ground. It's too niche.
3 -
its gonna be fine. literally alls you have to do is wait 8 seconds when you suspect they have it. or better yet, just hit the person that used for the people.
also, this is actually good for you if the survivors are doing this. it requires a healthy survivor to hover around an injured person for who knows how long, which means only 2 people are on gens, and it ALSO gives you a chance to snowball by getting 2 people down because they did something that risky.
1 -
its not broken, it's players like your that are ruining the game and making it unfun, the devs listen to players like you and nerf every ######### thing in the game, and then you complain about DS, BT, DH and all the fun stuff, now the game is a ######### m1 simulator
3 -
I've went against it a few times and its really not that op
2 -
It actually says alot
easiest killer to 4k with cant handle a slightly meme-build perk, lmao
2 -
It isnt OP in the slightest. People complained about Any Means Neccessary being an extremely OP SWF perk, and now look at where it is. People said the same thing for Zarinas perk, For the people as well, this case is no different.
1 -
That scenario you just mentioned? Yeah, that's a slug scenario. Kinda difficult for them to get up off the ground if you don't leave them on the ground. Also, it was nerfed, because it used to function like mettle of man endurance when they got up. Personally, I have not been able to get it to work even once.
0 -
There is no perk in the game called One For All.
0 -
I brought soul guard in all of my matches and it only saw use once. I would say it's highly situational and wouldn't see much use. I'd rather bring Adrenaline or Iron will given my statistics.
0 -
Just cause it gives endurance doesn't automatically make it OP
0 -
Not being rude but you seem to be basing the whole OP thing of the idea that every game is gonna be SWF.....I played a few games today all Solo Survivor and did not see that perk once. I mean by the standards you are setting like most post screaming a perk is OP, any perk can be considered OP if giving the right scenario like you are giving as an example. In normal Solo que survivor it is no stronger than another because we cannot plan to abuse it like SWF teams.
0 -
How often are you healed from the dying state while not being slugged?
1 -
So basically you're accusing the devs of bias?
If you think they're biased, you're delusional.
1 -
Looking through this guys post and other comments other places he is a killer main who just wants the easiest 4k games. He is the one that unless he gets a easy 4k the game is rigged and the DEVS must love survivors. It can't be because he lacks skill but that the game is broken because it's not his fault he didn't get a complete 100% win. I would hate to run into him as a killer because from seeing his many other crying post about how survivors are the strongest I would assume his play style is campy and always NOED kind of play style. Anything that makes it easy to get the kills and clear the game out with ease.
3 -
Survivors being picked up off the ground in front of the killer aren't common which would be the main reason to run this perk as the other effect is too dependent on the killer running a hex totem you can leave up assuming it's not cleansed to destroy a different totem.
Strong perk that is very reliant on a very specific situation is not going to be a problem.
