Blight is kind of Scuffed NGL

So like, I get the point of the killer, he's got huge mobility, he can stop Shift+W survivors and he can cross in between loops quick and catch people out of position; I just fail to see the reason why I would choose him over anybody else outside of memes or the fact that he's a new killer.


Without addons this killer just seems unfinished and overall just flat out bad. Compound Twenty-One just seems so good there's no reason why you shouldn't run it and even an addon like Compound Seven seems so good for a brown addon it makes you wonder why it isn't just part of Blight's base kit.

Blight's Rush and Lethal Rush feels pretty bad too, you don't collide into random objects nearly as often as the PTB but now when you're trying to Slam into something you just start sliding for no reason. Lethal Rush additionally is so easy to dodge and from what I can see has little to no auto aim meaning anybody who can do half-a$$ed 360 can dodge it pretty easily if they know it's coming.


His perks seem okay, Hex: Undying is probably the only one that's going to be experimented with but other than that they're just okay.


All I'm going to say is, I'm glad I used shards for this killer instead of buying him

    I guess Blight just isn't for you if you don't want to play him. Personally, he's at that level of strength where I feel like I actually got outplayed when I lose. His Lethal Rush has to be limited to be dodgable - imagine yet another killer that will get you no matter what. That being said, you often have the option of anticipating the juke and still landing a hit, and even then the greatest aspect of his power is his mobility. That really isn't something to be underrated.

    He's not the strongest killer out there. Maybe with right addons he is but not otherwise. But he's hella fun to play with and against. Very unpredictable because of his speed.

    I agree with you as long as his lethal rush isn't too dodgeable. Which is something I'm not sure about yet. I don't think his lethal rush lunge is as bad as most people say it is, but if survivors do find a way to be able to reliably dodge his lethal rush lunge no matter what, even if it's hard to do, then BHVR definitely will need to increase the turning on his lethal rush just a bit. However it shouldn't have full turning or be a flick in my opinion.

    He's too damned short. Shorter than ######### hag. I'm going to DC on swamp whenever I play him, along with a few other maps. Every map effectively has mini-corn with his PoV. It's awful.
