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.

Wraithy Boi Lost his Bloodhound :(

I really don't understand the reasoning behind removing Wraith's built-in bloodhound. It made him a really good tracker, like the devs intended for him to be. I understand that it is a common brown add-on now, but that is a poor exchange. I play all killers and don't spend all my bloodpoints on any one killer unless I'm prestiging them, so I don't have a lot of add-ons to begin with. Can someone explain to me a real reason behind this change or did the devs just implement it because they thought it was a necessary slight nerf for a slight buff (base abilities).

    I think they just don't like making a perk completely useless for any killer, and Bloodhound was pretty much useless for him, due to the inbuilt effect. I was very confused too when trying the new Wraith out because of this - wish there was some middle ground, not sure there is any though. It doesn't seem likely that anything is going to change after a complete rework, except if there are major bugs with it.

    IMO it's a little nooby for him to have that in the first place. It made tracking way too easy and it makes his own perk useless on him. It'd be very unfair if he could track blood for free while also getting free windstorm.

    Bing bong boy didn't need a perk built in AND have it a perk from his own kit. It's redundant and I don't know who thought it was a good idea in the first place.

    Yeah it didn't make a lot of sense.

    It wasn't really all that useful anyway, certainly a neat thing to have though. I suppose they just needed another add-on and ran out of ideas.
