Flashlights too fast
So I've heard some other killer mains talking about this but no real online posts about it. Are flashlights broken right now? I just had an indescribable match where every survivor ran ds unbreakable and bt with flashlights, and I couldnt do anything. They all hovered around each other and I couldn't pick anyone up because the blinds were so easy to get. You can be outside of the killer's fov and still get a blind off in less than a second. I couldn't slug because they had unbreakable. If I picked up I got blinded. It was seriously the least fun I've had in a match. There were about 4 instances of me grabbing someone out of a locker and being blinded before being actionable (while still in the locker grab animation). Is there any mention of flashlights being broken by the devs? It's been seriously annoying dropping suvivors left and right because they're strong right now.

Ever since they broke flashlights, I have noticed that they blind faster.

They are also very easy to get now. I've been blinded in the back of my head as well.
If you take infectious fright or something; you can turn it around in your favor though.

Flashlights are not broken at all, if all they even nerfed them. Blinding time has been the same since ages.
If you got blinded from your neck its because the survivor got the timing right and the blind was registered already.
Flashlight saves on locker grabs are actually one of the most skillfull actions survivors can perform.
If all flashlights need a buff

I dont mind if survivor get time to flashlight save their team mate.
I mind the Killers' eye placement

If they buffed current flashlights every killer main would quit the game. This is not an exaggeration. If I'm getting blinded from behind then I'd better be playing killers with more than 2 eyes.

I play killer a lot and I have 0 problems with flashlight and if anything the survivors screw themself over and kill themselves. Although I can see how it would be annoy for some killers.

I just had a match where after the 2nd blind save, i picked up the survivor facing a wall that was about 1 foot in front of my face. Somehow staring at a wall, they got the third blind save!? I knew it was coming and I still couldn't stop it. From where I was facing I couldn't see the survivor or the flashlight that somehow blinded me. This was as doctor if that matters.

How many flashlight saves have you ever gotten?

Monitor and shadowborn make killer's fov larger and thus easier to land a blind from the sides.
