It's good tho, finally the killer has to position himself/bait smart. The speeded up pickup was nearly brain dead, only possible to FL save if the is dumb enuf to see and basically says "Oh, hey nerd. I saw, but I'm picking up in front of you. Try ur luck"

And inversely, the Survivors don't. As usual, Killers are expected to be MLG pros, but Survivors don't need skill.

Killer was always much skillful to play, probably will never change. DbD has two sides, either most likely chill if u play survivor and most likely hard and stressful if u play killer. That's why I can just switch the role if I'm bored of one side without playing and entire different game. But yeah, back to ur topic. 
As killer u can still press R if u f-ed up and go for the FL guy. One slugged and one getting chased is some good momentum u can use. Also, this FL buff encourage more survivors to play the "hero" if one mate is hurt, so one survivor (or even more) less on gens. That's why I love to 4 man with FL in the lobby, it's like build in ruin, noone does gens lol.
Btw, dont act like timing the FL requires no skill, it's not like everyone can pull it out 

First of all, they didn't increase the time to pickup survivors. People just thought it was increased since Legion's pickup animation is similar to the old one. Second I can pull off a FL save 90% of the time when the opportunity arises. You can learn the timing in a few games. Also the spamming R as killer when picking up a survivor is not intended. I don't think you can get banned for it but if it gets abused it will probably get fixed.

Well I'd hope so. Flash Light saves should require skill, like it is now.

The problem isn't that it would lack skill. It's more that the killer has no chance of countering it. If there was one person with a flashlight, even if scared them off and turned your back, the pickup time was still long enough for the survivor to run around you and flashlight you. If a survivor went down in the open then you had no chance but to slug them.

Yeah I read it. Sure it was in the notes.

Juggling the obsession will be so much fun now. As if you didn't waste enough time juggling before, now their friend can come back and flashlight to save time.

They slower pickup speeds, nerf noed, nerf bbq, yet decisive [BAD WORD] strike still ends up untouched.

Can you tell me the line? I haven't seen it myself but I could be wrong.

U can't abuse spamming R, after multiple times the slug wiggles out 

It isn't intended is my point. Also no one is going to pickup the survivor 4 times in a row when they know there is someone with a flashlight just around the corner.

It doesn't though. The Killer can't react. It doesn't take skill, you're just exploiting a mandatory animation.

Ur argument is illogical. Just because the killer can't react (drop the slug btw) and it's "exploiting" doesn't change the fact that skill is required to pull this of.

Dude I can hit flashlight saves like they’re going out of style right now, if it went back to the old way well GG killer mains I’ll see you in the fog

Doesn't matter, still illogical 

There is nothing illogical about it. Why should the survivors skill matter more than the killers? Your argument doesn't take into account that the killer should have a way to counter it. If a survivor dies out in the open you aren't entitled to a flashlight save, only if the killer doesn't check his surroundings.
Also your "drop the slug" isn't a counter. It's not consistent since the survivor essentially needs to miss the save enough for you to get the R input. In most cases where you can drop the survivor in a FL save you can also just look up.

you're acting as if you can't press r during the pickup and avoid the flashlight stun 99% of the time. nice try though
