A small change to Breakdown

I meant people who don’t know what they’re talk about need not apply... I’m so sick of having to explain. If you have a suggestion or other idea sure I’m open and you’re free to have an opinion. But if all you’re going to do is dump on an idea without offering any other viable alternatives or anything constructive at all, then you can do like I said previously.

Me: I’ve used this perk for over a thousand hours probably by now and I’ve noticed a small change that would be nice.

you: No

Of course you don’t know what you’re talking about. Maybe I prefaced my post the way I did specifically for people like you. Maybe take half a second to look at the perk if you know nothing about it before posting your “opposing viewpoints”. The time the hook breaks is static at 3 min with breakdown it’s the time that you see the killers aura that increases as it increases in tiers. I’m always using breakdown and it be nice if it was switched where the time you see killer aura is static while the time it takes for the hook to respawn increases with increased tiers.

I see I actually misunderstood you. It’s just 3 minutes. In fact it’s just as much a 3 minute minimum as it is a maximum as it stands right now. So why don’t you get off your high horse “Minimum 3 minutes is disgusting”, it already is a minimum of 3 minutes!!!

and 220 seconds was just a thought... and that would be only 40 seconds more max than it sits now. Most people probably don’t know have much experience with how Breakdown can change the dynamic of a match, 3 minutes is decent but it’s not as long as you might think if you’re not used to seeing the perk actually being used

That’s fine if you feel that seeing the killers aura is more important. you could have started with that(literally not mentioned at all in your first post)... And I actually mostly agree that knowing where the killer is, is important. I just feel like all I need is a quick flash of their aura (see their location and direction they’re traveling) that’s why I feel like the added couple seconds extra of seeing their aura is unnecessary. I’m not really sure how any extra time the hook is broken would lead to slugging/how is it any different than where it sits now? And I’m not taking anything out of context it just gets confusing when you try to put qualifiers on something unary, I misunderstood your first post because of this.

I use Breakdown to help in frustrating situations where you’re downed immediately after getting off hook. My reasoning is if you’re unhooked and then immediately downed, seeing the killers aura was pretty useless at that moment as all it did was light the killer up pink as they downed you again. It’s the hook being broken that gives you a chance against being tunneled, that mostly why I use Breakdown. If you get off hook when the killer isn’t nearby than seeing their aura is useful for avoiding them.

If you get off hook when the killer isn’t nearby then being able to see their aura is very useful for avoiding them. I realize other people can use it for other reasons, I don’t know why two things can’t be true simultaneously...

I’m a solo survivor and it’s extremely rare to see any other survivors using Breakdown, I wish more people would use it because that would definitely make it more useful due to the hook breaking aspect. You described my dream as a survivor: all four survivors using breakdown lol. And I understand that there could be instances like what you described and an extra 40 seconds for each broken hook would lead to even more killer frustration. It would probably be extremely rare for all four survivors to have the perk and purposely make the match a nightmare for the killer. But that same situation could occur as the perk sits now just not as painfully.

p.s. I have played plenty of miserable matches as a survivor where I either get tunneled (So I use Breakdown) or have useless teammates being selfish using Self-Care (Nothing I can do). So whatever it’s just much more likely to have a team of four survivors hiding and using Self-Care than it is to have even just two survivors on a team using Breakdown.
