Nerf Borrowed Time

BT should become inactive, once the exit gates are powered. While there are still gens to work on, it should stay the way it is or may be even become the way it was before (give BT to both).

"Heavily survivor sided"

Where do you get that from?

Extending chase is not useless at all imo.

Survivors often sprint to the hook because they are running borrowed time. Or they hook tech. Neither of those are tunneling or camping.

I don't have an issue with BT. Usually if they unhook right in front of me the rescuer takes their place. We shouldn't nerf something because someone doesn't know how to play properly. That's what happened to ruin.

By itself it's fine. When mixed with other perks it can be unfair. I hate it when someone is saved from a hook, I assume they have BT and DS so I go after the rescuer. I hook the rescuer. The first hooked survivor heals up and comes back to make the save. Same situation, I assume there's BT and DS so I go after the healthy survivor who made the rescue. I down them and their DS from when I hooked them long ago is still up. That's what I want changed.

BT only exists to counter camping. If you aren't camping 90% of the time if won't matter. That said I like the idea I saw earlier about having tokens for BT. Say you get 1/2/3 tokens. Each time you unhook somebody it spends a token. You are refunded the token if it is a safe unhook.

BT actually needs a buff. It shouldn't require a terror radius in order to activate.

That or reduce the time effect of BT to around 8 seconds, that way it's more reliable but can't be abused as it currently is.

Another killer that needs more help.

Actually saying "dont use good perks or youre bad"

It was made to combat camping. Only a fool doesn't see that. That doesn't mean people don't abuse it. Which is what my idea aimed at stopping.

Are you aware that this forum is for Dead by Daylight?

Its a well agree fact that there is a lack of balance between the killer and the survivor roles in this game. Troll someone else.

Make it so that the person who uses BT now has exposed status effect for 25 seconds.

Rank 16 killers face red rank survivors REGULARLY. Maps are huge, filled with more pallets than can be kicked in the time it takes to complete 5 gens. These rank 16 killers can't earn pips because they are at 50-100 hours of playing time against teams with a combined 10k hours. Their experience is completely unenjoyable. Games fly by so quick they didn't get a chance to learn how to play killer. Killer que times are instant, survivor que times are like 10 minutes. This game is very unhealthy, you know this, I don't know why you are feigning like you don't know this. Hex perks are hidden in the most obvious spots and don't last AT ALL. Even if you have to stack up like Devour Hope, your hex totem will more than likely get cleansed before you start getting effects from it. There are a multitude of reasons why this game is survivor sided.

Don't lie to yourself dude.

all things considered i don’t think borrowed time needs a nerf. it’s extremely straight forward.. either you’re close enough for it to work, or you’re far enough for it not to; not to mention devour hope & make your choice promotes leaving the hooked survivor anyway.

a spirit with devour hope or make your choice combined with nurses calling can negate the terror radius, earn a stack for devour/give the unhooking survivor exposed status, potentially locate survivors if healing, down one, (potentially two rapid downs with MYC) hook the survivor(s), rinse and repeat while becoming an overall more deadly killer & turning the tables in your favor. add on something such as haunting grounds and u can punish survivors for playing too close to one another (at the price of not knowing exactly where devour hope is). a play style like that will negate BT essentially making them only have 3 perks, slow the game down a lot in terms of gens (even more so if u add on ruin or pop) and save urself a few controllers in the meantime.

its not abuse of a perk for someone to intentionally take a hit. it comes with its own con of having to mend. yes as a killer you’re taking additional time to entertain a chase you could’ve avoided, but the unhooked survivor is left useless (objectively) for 20+ seconds.

this game can seem unfair for killers or survivors when facing the right opponent(s). when you’re a solo survivor & u don’t run DS and no one has BT meanwhile the killer intentionally chases u, (frowned upon or not, it happens often in red ranks if gens are being popped enough) it’s frustrating.... simultaneously as a killer if ur play style kinda revolves around being relatively close to the hook but not focusing on it, then BT or DS can be annoying.

just as some perks are simply more effective & make the game much more challenging than others, so do some killers abilities and add-ons. if your biggest issue revolves around swf & difficulty dealing with BT or DS, choose a statistically better killer. if you find the better killers less fun & you wish to have a more entertaining, but less effective killer, then be prepared to be frustrated when u can’t counter certain perks that seem “broken”. i personally think BT is too situational to be nerfed.

& for the sake of keeping the “nerf BT” argument even remotely valid, let’s not mention eboni mori’s that come in the bloodweb pretty frequently after lvl 35, or some pretty game-changing add-ons that killers can use
