Why nerf Hoarder so that it no longer decreases the rarity of items!?

In the PTB it spawned more chests but decreased the rarity of items, so there was a trade off between more items but less powerful ones.

Now in this hotfix, it still spawns more chests but doesn't decrease rarity.

WHY?????????

Now this perk gives 5 chances for survivors to find amazing items like purple medkits and keys. This perk actively harms the killer as unless you equip Franklin's, you are just giving survivors more chances to find good items.

What's the bloody point of the chapter review that you started with Blight if you're just going to nerf all the perks when they hit live? I'm amazed that the devs let Undying through as it is but decided that Hoarder was crossing a line.

    AFAIK, the perk never actually decreased item rarity. The effect never matched the description.

    Presumably, they never got the rarity effect work and just buffed the other half of the perk instead.

    Making it a much worse perk.

    I know about that but it was a bug like how Hoarder didn't spawn extra chests.

    I don't believe that they struggled with the rarity effect seeing how other perks increase item rarity like Plunderers so I don't see how they had trouble with decreasing item rarity unless they was some bug with how they interacted.

    I'm just mad that they advertised the perk as decreasing rarities of items for over a month now and now they just changed it without warning. Feel really sorry for the people for brought the chapter because they were interested in using that perk.
