Why is blight getting gen rushed so fast?

Discordance is your ally my friend

When I was doing adept I would've agreed but not now. Once you get Tinkerer, Ruin and Undying you shouldn't get gen rushed.

It sounds like a case of survivors being pressured into a more optimal strategy of splitting up then being able to be a bit more flexible about pairing up.

It's not specific to Blight at all, is the best strategy against all killers, and is the predominant way of playing at red ranks regardless, but I feel that against high mobility killers like Blight, wherein the chases are typically ridiculously short, survivors of any rank feel even more pressure to crank out the gens asap. To me, there's really only 2 strategies that work against Blight: Heavy Stealth, and Split Rush. Unfortunately only one of these works consistently as Blight has a few add-ons that defeat the stealth approach, but the bottom line is that you either have to use strategies that waste his time as much as possible, or finish the gens as quickly as you can.

Unlike with other avg mobility killers, When Blight hooks someone, chances are very high that he's gonna be on your ass within seconds no matter where you are on the map, and because he can do this so easily, you and your teammates are pressured to get as much progress on gens as you can before the inevitable chase ensues. This same thing happened when Legion first came out, and everyone realized that the best way to beat him was to split rush/rescue only, without wasting time healing or performing any other tasks. Once Legion got their heavy nerfs however, people felt they could relax more around him and now do gens at a pretty standard pace when facing a Legion player. Unlike legion though, Blight can use his speed more frequently, and can actually down survivors with his power, and unlike billy, Blight can also make course corrections when using his power, which makes for an incredibly potent chaser, especially between tiles.

Unlike with other killers, Blight has high pressure all around, so you have to counter it by either matching or exceeding that pressure if you're going to have any chance of escaping/winning, which makes all matches against Blight pretty sweaty affairs for solo and swf survivors alike. Blight gives survivors no time to relax so Split Rush is the best strategy against him and they are picking up on that quickly, which in turn is making playing as Blight an incredibly frustrating/sweaty experience for both newer and seasoned killer players.

Well, they are doing what Killer Mains tell Survivors all the time - adapt. If you are going against a Blight, Chances are high that he has Tinkerer. Being on multiple Gens means that he can only protect one if multiple Gens are close to finish and trigger Tinkerer.

Don't forget the non existing terror radius. Would rather just get gens done and out. Unless you meant to tell me you have no idea about that bug.

Legion sees your survivors splitting up to do gens...

...and sits in the corner crying about it.

I'd say that it is. Pop is good but this guy is just so good at pushing people of gens that Ruin and Undying is just amazing. I hope when I prestige him I get just as lucky in my first 50 levels as I did the first time. I got BBQ 1, Tinkerer 2, Undying 2 and Ruin 3.

Once you get Ruin you should see a good difference. For now I'd say just don't commit to chases early on unless you think your getting an easy down. Just hit them off gens (preferably a 3/4 gen set up) and come back when they are out positioned.

My problem with surveillance is that since the recent change it isn't as useless as it was before. Tinkerer is extremely good at pushing someone off a gen you know you can reach before it's done and I'd say it's a must on him. Brutal is decent but something like BBQ or Monitor I'd prefer personally.

If your letting 2-3 gens proc at the beginning of the game then your not playing Blight correctly. Your first chase you shouldn't commit to and only value injuring them and leaving. If you run between every gen correctly then the timing of each one being completed should be nicely split.

Tinkerer, Ruin and Undying if run correctly on him is extremely good. Any killer with really good mobility right now should be using Undying and Ruin right now.
