Compound 21 potential change

Top500Blightmain · September 2020

I've been playing the blight since release an lord is he fun to play despite his difficulty and as everyone knows compound 21 is one if not his best add-on. As a blight player the add-on helps find survivors that you've lost or just find a whole new target or maybe even find that blendette squad. Some players think that it's overpowered as a green add-on and it kinda of is for the value it gives. One change I've been think was to put Compound 21 to purple rarity reduce the radius from 16 to 10 maybe 12 meters and the aura reading from 6 to 3-4 seconds of aura reading, to compensate for the upshift for 21 downshift soul chemical to green and while rushing the aura reading and be from 8 seconds to 6 seconds to compensate for the change.

The only problem I have with the add-on is that I can still see the auras after I've done my dash cooldown. That seems a little too strong, but hey, Object of Obsession is still in the game so I'd say Compound 21 is as balanced as a new set of tires.

Honestly, just drop the Aura duration to like 1-3 seconds. Give them enough time to quickly look and say "Oh okay". Slam can be disorienting and the ability only needs to last long enough to say "Over here dingus".

I wish, if someone's aura doesn't get revealed, you don't get the score event. Because with them getting that event, they now know someone is nearby, either in a locker or has a perk like Off The Record or Distorion, and even when trying your best to be stealthy they know you're there and since they're 115% they have the speed to search for you.

Add that in, and I'm fine with it being green (as well as your proposed changes).

They should just make it an iri addon and downgrade his iri blight tag (insta-down survivors with your final rush) to purple. Either that or reduce the detection range from 16 meters to 8.

I'd actually like to see a weaker yellow version of this addon as well (6 meter detection range and briefer aura duration?). It really makes up for Blight's low-to-the-ground FOV and the fact that he has to look at the floor during his cooldown.

What i find funny is the amount of complaining about compound 21 when ooo exisits.

When i feel like it. I can turn on unlimited, superior c21 and then tell everyone else what's happening.

If i run ooo, bond, open handed I'm just the lookout for the team telling then every move the killer makes and every time he comes my way i just w away from him until he gives up. How many games have i and friends walked out never getting hooked? A lot.

C21 is only effective if you group up giving health states away. If the blight has too chase each person after hook at different Gen's the power Is still on survivors side.

This game really needs swf taken out of ranked and put into non ranked. Then, certain "op" things for solo play like c21 can be blocked from use. This will never happen of course but it's what should happen.
