I love Borrowed Time

I honestly have no idea why, but this is definitely my favorite of the meta perks. I run Borrowed Time in most of my matches when I run WGLF for bloodpoints. BT makes it so much easier to get WGLF stacks because I only get stacks from safe unhooks (protection hits too but I mostly get stacks from the unhooks). Also, BT counters camping which is something that no one finds fun unless the killer is doing it at end game to secure a kill, which is understandable.

I beg to not see this perk get nerfed because it encourages healthy gameplay. I never really get annoyed when I go against BT users as killer because I just simply not go after the guy that got unhooked. People can use it in annoying ways but in reality, it’s not like DS pre-nerf where they can just sit on a gen for a whole minute with no fear of the killer. In fact, I’d love to see it proc when in a specific range of the killer rather than terror radius, because I hate how stealth killers can counter it easily.

So yeah, those are my thoughts on BT. I love this perk so much, pls don’t nerf it.

    Yeah that’s another reason I hate playing against Freddy. They should make it where the perk icon lights up when the killer is in a 24-meter range of the hook.

    I know why.

    It's a great perk. It works well, and the only change anyone on either side (or those of us who enjoy the full game) can propose is as stated above, making it distance rather than TR, which would make it more fair for everyone involved.

    There would definitely be less Insidious Bubbas if this was implemented.

    If you want to have a chance at winning a game now a days everyone should run BT. It discourages tunneling and camping.

    i like BT, but hate to give up a perk slot. I'll take the hit if need be. And run bond so I can usually make the right play on when to and when to stay on gennys

    I get in so many situations where a poor dude would've never gotten out without BT, bless the perk.

    BT is a good perk. I personally run it all the time. I also don't mind people using it to body block the Killer when they go for the unhooker, but I hate it when people use it as "free reign" to swarm the Killer like an angry wasp until the timer goes out. Just, you know. Run away. Stop trying to get hit when nobody needs the protection. Go. Shoo.

    borrowed time helps in a lot of situations. you can actually farm teammates without having them scream at you in the endgame chat

    BT carries survivors so immensely, its just a bad perk

    I somehow still accidentally farming teammates with it because I thought I unhooked them in the killers terror radius.

    Only reason why I don't run BT is because I didn't find it on bloodweb or cuz I'm not good at figuring a good time to make a save lol. And I'm absolutely atrocious at escaping after the rescue.

    But I'd love to set up one of my characters to be a bloodpoint pony with WGLF and BT. I like doing all things altruistic lol.

    I play both sides, I dont use perks like that myself because its just disgusting how it allows for rediculous moves.

    In the endgame is just....pathetic.

    Personally I don't mind how current BT works (besides the saved person having collision) but making it straight out x meters radius would need to come with some kind of a nerf or a change as you just don't buff meta perks, that might just make them opressive.

    If it went to straight out x meters radius I think it would need to be changed so that it transfers damage to the rescuer, not give free health state with endurance.
