Let's talk flashlights
Ok so I want to start this off by saying I think this is one of the main offenders of polluted blood webs.
Everyone knows currently flashlights into have 4 good add ons. The batteries and the filament. Everything else is overpriced trash or cheap trash. What they have in common is polluting the bloodweb.
I dont want insta blinds back but I would like blind speed to be added back to the game or at the very least delete the other add ons or totally redesign them. Stuff like high end sapphire lens(hesl), intense halogen, and odd bulb do the exact same thing.
Ever since the blind speed removal all 3 of these add ons increase blind duration by 1 second. I want to also mention a mistake between the two effects "increase the flashlights range" and "increase the flashlights beam." The range add on does nothing and the beam add on actually increases the range. Also it only increases the rang by half a tile!
You have accuracy add ons which do so little they are unnoticeable. Increasing the beams visual brightness is nothing but an aesthetic. Decreasing range is way to punishing considering range add ons dont even do much for it. I'm gonna cut these flaws short because as you can see its alot.
The main change I want is to make odd bulb and ultra rare worth something. I would like it to make the blind take 0.75 to 0.8 seconds instead of 1.33. The exception is that this add on is now the only faster blinding add on.

Odd Bulb should show the sweet spot for blinding.

I'm fine with them not going back to blind reduction add-ons, but I agree that all of these add-ons should at least serve a purpose. The range, grip, and beam width add-ons should actually have noticeable effects. The Odd Bulb should not be worse than the rare equivalent.

The sweet spot is the head. It should do something that makes the flashlight stronger not a cosmetic piece.

They should bring insta blind, I mean now you hace a perk that make you inmmune to blind

Yeah, they nerfed flashlights a long while ago, since then countless add-ons haven't served a single purpose. Tbh it would be nice if we got a big overhaul of survivor items and add-ons in the future.

It's been 3 years a faster blind wouldnt be that bad. Especially with his fast the pickup animation is.

So first you defend using stretched res and now you want op flashlights back? Whats next? You want two pallet spawns back?

This is my understanding. This adds a bit of an "MMO" paradigm to this - you got Claudette Healing, you got Dwight and Meg GPSing, and you got David or Laurie drawing aggro with OoO, DH, UB & BT... and most importantly, flashlight button macroed to the teabagging one, so it's just 1 input to both click and teabag. That last part is super important.

Nah that's not fair. I was also thinking that odd bulb allows you to blind through lightborn at normal speed.

I never said I want op flashlights back. I simply asked for the add ons to he more useful and not pollute my blood webs. Double pallet spawns are also not fair. I don't remember saying I did though why are you bring that up?

One killer is a cabbage monster, and another a geometric shape.
Also the "head" breaks every other patch. For awhile it was "Aim for the chest to blind"

An add on to negate an entire perk? Mkay

The perk shoudnt even exist. It let's bad killer be bad. You dont learn anything. Look at walls if you are scared of flashlights. Bait pickups look around. Also it's a useless ultra rare it needs something to be worthy of the rarity.

If we're talking flashlights, lets mention the BS that is blinding while the killer is destroying a a pallet. I run into that so much and I'm not even looking at the beam and it works.

There are so many situations where you don't have time to look around for someone with a flashlight. At the gates, at lockers, in an open area too far from walls etc etc.

Well that's not a flashlight problem that's a you problem. Also when survivors realize you have it they wont blind you anymore. Also it's really obvious when flashlight users are creeping around.

Who said I get into those situations ? I'm just making examples

I didnt mean you specifically I meant like "you."

make it so that flashlights have infinite battery and blind everyone upon clicking Ez

Oh yeah, you probably didn't know this, but the increased range add-ons don't do anything, but the wide lens still decreases it. Just wanted to point out that there are more useless add-ons than you think.
