Will the Ds and OoO Nerfs kill this game?

It's kind of funny how I just got done reading the summary of the dev stream where they said not to whine and complain but instead give civilized feedback, and then this thread is under it. This is why they don't show us this stuff early. You don't even have your hands on the change yet and you are already complaining how it will ruin the game. The majority of players are against it? Oh sorry I didn't realize you spoke for someone other than yourself. If you pay attention you can find many threads from people on both sides talking about how these perks were heavily abused hence the reason why they are changing them. You really just asked someone if you should leave the game! Can you not think for yourself? This is the reason why we can't have nice things cause people on both sides just whine they are losing their crutches and threaten to leave or review bomb the game. If you want to leave over a change like this then good riddance because only a troll would leave over something this stupid.

Ok, sure. If the killer is willing to throw the match just to secure one kill, they will probably get it. Again, nothing to do with DS, so any change to DS won't make any difference to that in the slightest, it's just whataboutism.

Beautifully made Ted Talk, I’m already looking forward to the next one. Seriously though, I agree with everything you said. I’m honestly excited for the new builds that’ll probably come out for this (maybe not many honestly, but here’s hoping for it). Now that many toxic people won’t use Object Of Obsession, I’m hoping for a rise in other aura reading perks like Alert. If the Developers continue with this trend of buffing/nerfing/reworking perks, we could see a lot of variety in the future.

A noble cause

No lol

If you think the changes to ds would make tunneling stronger, you probably don't understand what tunneling is. Hint, it's not just being hooked twice in the same game.

New to the game but starting out as a survivor and then trying out killer had been crazy. Honestly some matches felt like these survivors are the killers...nothing I could do at certain points of the match ...DS...BT...and on top of that flashlights ...body blocks, taunting and gens popping in the back..exit gates being left at 99%..list goes on ..no complaints here but just a small list of what I have seen in the past month of playing as killer. I have started this game just end of December in gamepass ..I do want to play more killer but gotta think twice lol when I am in the lobby ..I still gotta rank up and unlock stuff . I've never disconnected a match though but have been very frustrated lol..rather get butchered with Bubba or electricuted with Doctor then to put up with some of these sweaty taunting teams . Again it's fun as hell .lol..loving this game but all in all whatever the case is...this feels like a cleansing ..much needed cleansing.

NO.

I can get red ranks even without those perks

Yay, instant lobbys for me then.

It will kill the game for survivors who can't do anything without running those and getting a second chance after second chance. Never used it and it feels great to not rely on ds every time something goes wrong :)

It's either you are a troll or a really bad player. Otherwise I can't see how this perk can mess with your games. Having 3 gens out of like 8 on a huge map blocked for 2 minutes must be so hard to play against.

What is this "1 game"? I can't think of a game that went from 30k to dead due to a balance fix🧐

the ds change shouldn't affect the experience most of the time for most people, sometimes it will obviously, just if you weren't using it to troll you shouldn't have too frequent a bad experience because of it since on bad unhooks you could still make it to a locker sometimes and the rest of the time you'd lose it once you got on a safe enough generator or during the next chase if not. If somebody kept running back intot he killer then the change could encourage hiding better and being more careful. Or quitting and removing a feeder.

object is mainly put to use by those that practice abusing it, even a solo can abuse it on middlewich because of the size and layout of that map but it's usually abused by swf groups to have the object user goad the killer and tie them up in chases or to feed them information about the killers' positions and trap placements. Most people not using it in those ways don't have anything to worry about, you can still "practice the looping" by simply tbagging and clicking at the killer until they chase.

Why should someone be protected when they are not being tunnelled? That's the gripe I have with current DS. Just because its current version is healthier than its former versions (which is a claim I agree with) doesn't mean it is healthy now. It isn't. Any perk that has an abusive side to it is not healthy for the game. End of story.

The nerf won't change a single thing for anyone who actually gets tunnelled and anyone saying otherwise is just sad to see the abusive side of DS get kicked in the shins.

Survivor main who never uses DS. I'd be fine if they removed it entirely. It's a crutch and is not needed.

8k hours 7,300 hours and rank 1. I also dont see survivors use it that often. Maybe 1 per game, so 25%.

What do you mean?

Insta heals, the old BNP, toolboxes, and the exhaustion nerfs were VERY good. It was a nerf, but it made the game more balanced. If 4 survivors used the BNPs, they could LITERALLY do 3 gens in less than a minute if they used it properly no matter the killer. Please tell me how MoM was balanced btw since you still seem a bit upset by its nerf. BT was changed for the better in case you didn't read my reasoning in my last comment. You also didn't tell me how BNPs or insta heals were fair, please do I would love to hear your reasoning for that. mobdro
