Insta heals
I have put this on here before i think, but i would like to see insta heals go back they way they healed before BUT can only be used on your teammates not yourself and to balance it your med kit is not destroyed so you can have a heal for yourself. As a killer i feel this could open up quite the entertaining interactions between killer and survivor, plus could open up new score events as being an actual support player. Also could be an additional anti slug chance but a little more risky.

They changed it because it was deemed to strong. Your change would make it weaker then the original, but what's wrong with the current version?

How would it be weaker it would go back to being a 1 state instant heal not timed, and it would give a new way to counter slugging and encourage team play especially when there is 1 or more randoms amongst a 2 man swf, promote survivor killer interaction, could become a score event to heal with the item. The current state and previous state was just boring af and you wouldn't be able to self heal with it so it balances that out less of i make a mistake oh i can heal in 8 seconds. Current state with right add-ons isn't much of a change from previous state so i can see why you’d wanna keep it. See what people don’t want to openly acknowledge and admit, is when the devs ‘nerf’ survivor things the give the ability to make it just as strong or stronger with addons.
Example 5% additional slow when one or more people on a gen nerf, prove thyself +5% buff, and dont bs me we all know in a 4 man swf theres almost always one prove thyself on the team. So yeah behavior always seems to give survivors the ability to get the previous outcome with addons. So this is why i say current state with perks and addons is just as strong if you are intentionally building to be the runner of your group.

We have more than enough things to punish slugging.
The change you proposed would only really benefit SWF.The "insta-heal" addons are perfect the way they are right now.They don't need any changes.

Seems like anyone against this dont want to give up the self use of it the change to the syringe isnt much of a change with the right addons and med kit it goes from instant to what 2 seconds still just as bad as it was before the change. Let go of your crutches survivors and allow change for the better of the game.

I dislike vehemently what we have now for "insta-heals". I wanted the previous version to only work outside of a chase and have nothing else be changed about it.
Currently, I have no way of knowing whether a survivor has just used the add-on that means I shouldn't hit him/her or the add-on that means I should hit him/her ASAP. I played a game of clown where a survivor used the latter, and I didn't hit the survivor during the first 8 seconds only to be unable to reach the survivor in time before the heal kicked in. That is frustrating. So is chasing after a survivor only to have him/her heal in front of you with no loss of momentum (unlike previously when there was loss of momentum).
I very much want these add-ons to be changed, and if not in the way I suggested, at least in a way like that described above these comments.
