The DS change looks good but...

You know what I love about these threads? Someone will always say playing the game is easy, then immediately contradict themselves by complaining that something not being in their favor will instantly make it not so.

Like if you're a good survivor, you aren't going to get tunneled out in 30 seconds (at least not nearly enough for it to be something to complain about.)

After all, if survivor is so easy you don't need a handicap of a perk, why are you upset about DS?

And if killer is so easy, why are the que times horrible for survivors at a specific time? Is it because all the good killers go to bed at 6:00? How are so many people even aware that this is a thing if they are playing killer at those times? I mean, it's not like THEY also want to play the less stressful role at night, before they go to bed....?

It can't be that.... Survivor is an inherently more casual, passive role in the game overall, right?

Against solos, but see you have to qualify that statement before you can make it. SWF ain't typically as easy to deal with.

Also... The play with your friends line, as if to imply folks that play killer don't have any.. Suppose they don't. Suppose they're adults who don't concern themselves with schoolyard buddies and have very limited time to coordinate a full scale SWF. How does that change the fact that killer is harder than survivor because you can never count on a friend or teammate?

Hell, I don't even agree with you that solo survivor is inherently harder, because the thing that makes it harder is random que teammates not the difficulty of play. If that were the case, there would be no discernable difference between SWF and solo because SWF would be just as bad.

I've had some awesome rando squads, but the matchmaking doesn't select for the better player traits, so there's no way to know if someone was carried by SWF or if they got promoted by really good match ups and contributed little. All I can say is for someone to say they can pick whatever perks they want and still be able to win? That doesn't sound like someone who's much concerned with relying on their teammates in the first place.

Reduce the perk safe time from 60 to 45s on T3.

BUT make the timer stop if the survivor is getting chased (so basically getting tunneled for real)

AND make it usable up to 2 times if you are the Obsession (similar to Soul Guard being usable infinitly if a Hex totem is up)

That's all the perk need to be more balance and truly counter tunneling. Real tunneling.

Then don't tunnel. It's as easy as that ;)

you still can down them and go look for others. If they don't have unbreakable they just played badly and let you apply more pressure on the others :)

that's why i'm suggesting to make it 45 :)

the point was that if you decide to intentionnaly tunnel you get punish for it, similar to Pig chasing a survivor with an active trap on it's head stop the timer. ^^

at least you can crawl and be picked up
