Shroud of separation

Ok, i mean, noone really cares but in its current state shroud of separation is not just useless - it gives you a huge disadvantage to early game - you lose time and power just because you cant pressure everyone at a time, by the time you get to one surv 3 gens would be done by half, when you down 3 gens would pop. . So as for me has to be reworked. Thoughts?

    Well they don't turn in the loading screen if I remember correctly?

    If yes then they make survivor DC during loading screen in fear of a Mori.

    Job well done. /S

    That's the only "use" for them right now, I think, but don't really know since I never really use offerings outside of bp increase.

    I think you are really wrong here. With CI everyone, or at least more then one surv 100% will be trapped with it, it really shows its full potential there. With shroud it is litterally a waste of a slot.

    Ah, yes - The offering that basically guarantees to give you a bad early game, no exceptions. Admittedly, that's because the meta has shifted from "actually play DBD" to "hold m1 real good".

    Devs don't understand their own game. That's why the Killers get an offering that guarantees three gens popping during the first chase.

    Tbf that offering is very outdated. But yep, unless you're a masochistic, theres absolutely no reason to run it. Most of your map pressure is instantly out the window

    It's only good for a mori bluff to hope for a disconnect, and it comes at a hefty price.

    The Shroud Offerings in general are all bad for the roles they are available to.

    • Shroud of Separation hurts killer by spreading out survivors (giving them peak efficiency more easily).
    • Shroud of Binding and Shroud of Unity hurt the survivors by diminishing their initial efficiency, forcing them to spend time spreading out (or to work together and risk being interrupted en masse).
    • Vigo's Shroud has a high chance to backfire because of how default spawn mechanics work. The killer is usually aware that survivors will spawn in the corner of the map opposite where they spawned and will just beeline there immediately (putting the user of this Shroud in a more obvious starting location). If killer spawned in the middle of the map instead, then it was basically wasted by being unnecessary anyway.

    A rework for them would be great, but honestly I would be fine with them just being decommissioned. I haven't encountered anyone running a Shroud Offering in almost 2 years, so I'd rather just have them be replaced by different, more useful nodes in my bloodwebs.

    Haven't used one in years. 3 survivors on seperate gens with one chased is suicide.

    I brought one to a match recently and because it's a secret offering, 2 survivors disconnected after I downed them because they thought it was a mori. Fun times.

    I had a game once where the killer brought a shroud. I thought it was a Mori, and played super carefully. He didn't get a hook until end game.

    Well, you mean more like a sos + ci + plague. And here you are right
