Console players who have played Blight. What are your experience with him so far?

As for me my experience with the blight as been awfu not too mention frustrating. I don’t know why is turning is sooo restricted since you can’t really one shot someone not too mention I have had moments where my attack didn’t connect when it should. Overall he’s like the only killer where I’m stuck at cause like I have seen people play him very well( granted they were pc players). But honestly I kind of feel like he’s not so good on console. But I’m still going to try to play him more to try to get better at him. Btw this has been my 6th day playing blight since release.

Also question for the dev. I was wondering if the blight turning is going to be buff on console just like oni turning was buff on console.

    I love him and his whole aesthetic but his fov is way too low for me to actually get good chases. Loops are a nightmare. And his rush is very clunky on controller. Once they fix him, I'm maining him.

    I would love to main him. But as of right now he’s just feel frustrated to play as on console.

    How the hell do you attack in lethal rush? That's what I want to know. The response time seems to be so slow that by the time he starts swinging the survivor is no longer in front of me, and it was so damn hard aiming at them in the first place it just feels like a real gut punch to swing at air after all that.

    Is he better on PC? The frame drops, the low POV, and the way Bloodlust tanks the whole damn game make playing as him feel like total garbage.

    The blight specifically has add-ons for turn speed. I doubt they'll do anything. Only other time you have free turning is between bounces and a little bit when doing the lunge.

    I think a major problem with me is just not being able to see over loops or windows. Once they change that, I'll be gucci since I really just use his power to get to gens and keep pressure.

    I love him, but he needs a better fov and lunge out of his power. He's certainly hard, but you'll get used to it after a while.

    Can't see over windows or even some basic loops but they can see me clear as day

    Turn radius when attacking is equivalent of a semi truck, worse than Oni's.. way too clunky

    he does as well with indoor maps as Nurse does on Lery's

    not worth the time and energy IMO, too many bad maps for him

    i got his two achievements and i'm putting him beside clown and billy in my don't bother group

    I have the Xbox X and currently there’s a graphical, UI and performance issue so I can’t say much until that is fixed. However I have played a handful of games and he seems fine, hard to learn of course but currently I have issues with him at all

    I've had mixed experiences as him. Some games I do well and he feels really fun, others I feel like there was nothing I could do and his power is worthless. I'm really only hitting people who are running forward and I'm unable to hit people who have the braincell required to move 3 inches to the left or right.

    He seems really fun watching gameplay of him and I really want to main him cause I love his design and lore, but he just feels so clunky and worthless on console. The frame drops, his low turning rate and FOV, he just feels like garbage on console. This might be the killer to make me drop out of cross play cause going against PC survivors as him just doesn't feel fair cause of their framerate and better turning abilities.

    Clunky and unfun to play as.

    You can't really decide where are you running after bumping...

    Honestly I'm lucky if I get like one lethal rush hit a game

    He's pretty fun,but he also is the only killer that forces me to play with really high sensitivity in order to turn better.

    Which is a problem because after a few games my thumbs start to hurt pretty bad because of that.

    i definitely agree on the fov and lungs out of his power cause he’s just so difficult to play on console.

    He's my favorite killer.

    Between the slew of bugs and sucking really badly with him it hasn't beeen great. I suspect like oni and nurse the precision required is beyond my grasp on console.
