Blight is very lackluster in the abilities department

“...granting him unnatural physical abilities.”

Ah yes, running into walls, a totally unnatural ability, makes complete sense.

Ok in all seriousness who came up with this “ability”, it’s pretty much complete garbage.

So many different killers do the same thing but they do it WAY better. Let’s look at some of these killers.

Hillbilly: Downsides- difficult turning radius and overheat mechanic

Upsides- one hit down potential, can destroy pallets, long and very fast running speed that allows for good map pressure

Nurse: Downsides- high skill ceiling, very low base movement speed, and teleport fatigue

Upsides- blinks through almost any obstacle, pallets nonexistent to her, can be a godly killer

Legion: Downsides- can’t down survivors while using ability, punished for missing an attack while using ability, can’t see scratch marks while using his ability

Upsides- can chain attacks on multiple survivors, can slow down survivor progress decently when used correctly, makes survivors waste time healing, and can vault pallets and windows with increased speed

Then there is the blight

Downsides- very short rush distance with no indication of the rush ending, numerous and long dash fatigue, horrible turning radius, no additional afflictions on survivors when hit with a “lethal” rush, can’t destroy pallets with ability, etc.

Upsides- He can run :0

The way the blight works as of now makes no sense to me. The blight is not holding a heavy chainsaw, he doesn’t teleport like the nurse and still gets fatigued like her, and the legion is in the same position as the blight but at the very least he has actually control over his running ability and is able to deep winds on multiple survivors. The blight needs something added to his kit as well as getting a buff in his turning radius. He runs with a cane for god sake and he, for some reason, has a terrible turning radius. If anything what he needs the most is a major buff in his turning radius and make the cracked monocle a base part of his ability (this will work as a good hotfix for now). But later down the line the blight needs something else added to his kit that will make his dash ability useful and less of a hinderance that it is now.
