Blight players, thank you for not making me want to play solo survivor anymore

Solo survivor life is usually miserable, but you guys really excel on making it worse than ever.

Always the same perks, always the same addons and playstyles.

This guy decided it was fun to keeping slugging the entire team using Infectious without hooking us ONCE. The entire game lasted for more than 20 minutes because we were constantly picking and healing us up, but thanks to the fair and balanced Alchemist Ring + Blighted Crow combo you can't even make distance anymore. My teammates were not even that bad at chases, but with these addons you basically have to feed him pallets and at some point they were gone.

How is that fair for a solo survivor? How can I comunicate for my team where the totems are? How can I coordinate pick ups?

I like to play Blight, but if one day he receives the Nurse and Billy treatment and gets a pass that makes him super unfun to play as I'll honestly be happy because you guys deserve it. At this point I'd rather go against 10 Spirits in a row because her players usually know how kind of boosted she is and don't do ######### like this.

    This is why I try not to use add Ons just in general…unless it’s trapper. My Blight build is BBQ, Nurse’s Calling, and End/Fury. No add ons unless I need to sweat (most recently when I lost the latter 3 perks to Clown’s perks for the archives.). No slowdowns, I either zoom fast and win or the survivors zoom faster and win. Makes for a dynamic game and I to date have not had anyone complain at me for the build or playstyle.

    Not saying there aren’t scummy Blights out there but I can say there’s a few fun ones. The ruin/tinker/undying combo is just not fun by comparison, I like feeling like I had a chance to lose, you know?

    Tbh lot killers do that when they don't want survivors to even play the game.

    Had a popular content guy slug me and my friends even though we did not even do anything.

    Once in match Huntress would down a person and slug.

    Then if they were picked up, they would slug them again and go for the healthy. Happened for a long time and they finally slugged all of us.

    Only hooked 1 person and left rest of us to bleed out.

    You might think its because they did not know where we were but turns out they had BBQ and Deer Stalker so they knew where we were and were all slugged at.

    Ngl my own teammates in solo queue absolutely throwing the match and trying to drag me down with them and grief the match for others has made me never want to touch solo again.

    Imagine trying to save and heal someone and they don't let you and they just run to the killer, kill themselves on hook like UGH


    But no I totally feel you on killers who decide to go full bully mode no matter the experience level of the survivors. It makes solo that much worse and it's already a dumpster fire tbqh

    I honestly don't have a problem with addons (I actually run some yellows and greens myself), but when every killer runs the same combination with the same 2~3 slowdowns build on a S tier killer, it's upsetting. It's the same problem that happened with Nurse using omega blinks and Billy using instasaw.

    It's not like this all the time. Try playing at different times, and change ranks (maybe back them up a bit) if you're able. I've faced two Blights in probably as many months.

    You WILL see many of the same popular perks a lot, though.

    Blight has no real way of downing survivors faster then anyone else. He just has high map mobility.

    Mass slugging is Oni's thing and he's much better at it then blight.

    Also farm maps and indoor maps are the bane of the Blight so seeing one go full Tilt Slugging(Aka "If I can't have fun here, no one can!") is sadly not unusual.

    I personally hate the add on system, just like I hate the item and add on system for survivors. I think having limited use items to make the grind of the game infinite is ultimately frustrating design, and the last thing I want is to run an objectively strong add on and become reliant on it. Prior to Wraith’s last buffs I ran Windstorm maybe once in every 30-40 Wraith games purely as a special treat because any more than that I’d be reliant on them. Back when Doctor got reworked I groaned and actively argued in feedback about their “add ons allow you to build your power” because I hate killers being reliant on add ons. Fortunately they decided to make backwards skill checks baseline so he got SOMETHING at least without add ons.

    Trapper remains the one exception because he’s so reliant on a bag add on it’s painful to not play him with at least a brown one. But that just makes me play him a lot less than I otherwise would because I don’t want to grind BP on trapper for all time.

    Same deal on the survivor end - my friends I play with like to joke that my survivor inventories are a “vault.” What goes in never comes out unless I need it for an archive. I don’t like losing items and the add on rework back when to cause add ons to go away for survivors gave them the same issue I have with killers.

    So ultimately it’s not me trying to take the moral high road with not using add ons as much as me recognizing getting too used to add ons could ruin that killer for me when I run out of them, and I very much don’t want that.

    "Blight has no real way of downing survivors faster then anyone else". Are you joking? Blight has one of the best chases in the game.

    Oni is better at slugging but his power has a limited duration and after it ends he has to either collect orbs or get M1s. A Blight with Alchemist Ring + Blighted Crow just keeps constant pressure at you without basically ever running out of power. If he manages to hit you with his Rush good luck trying to get anywhere because thanks to these balanced addons he'll probably catch you before you're able to.

  • Warcrafter4
    Warcrafter4 Member Posts: 2,917

    If he's constantly downing you with his power then he's catching you out in deadzones or transition tiles as unless the blight is very skilled.

    Its very hard for him to actually get a hit with his power at most loops due to how easily it can juked.

    If your constantly being downed at loops by blight's power then that's a you thing.

    blight players are among the 3 strongest killers teh most toxic ones by far and unpleaseant, he definitelly deserves the treatment, they need to get humbled but especially because many of his addons are boosted.

  • GrimoireWeiss
    GrimoireWeiss Member Posts: 1,452

    You must be going against pretty bad Blights or be a pretty bad Blight yourself then. I play Blight myself and, although I don't main him, getting hits at loops is totally doable. With speed addons it's even easier.

    "Its very hard for him to actually get a hit with his power at most loops due to how easily it can juked." Again, are you joking? Even semi-decent Blights very rarely get juked.

  • Warcrafter4
    Warcrafter4 Member Posts: 2,917

    That or your not very good against blights nor have you played against survivor who knows how to play against him?

    He's not overpowered and while strong because of his mobility he does have counterplay by juking him/running him to loops where his power isn't very good or has a limited possible angles to hit you such as shack.

    You're not getting the point. I don't have a problem with basekit Blight, the problem are his addons and the massive amount of slowdown people think is needed on a S Tier killer.

    Speed addons eliminate counterplay on a lot of loops without having a downside, and Alchemist Ring makes it impossible to chain loops if he manages to hit you, and makes Infectious absurdly good on him. It's the same problem Omega Nurse and Instasaw Billy had.

  • Warcrafter4
    Warcrafter4 Member Posts: 2,917

    The downside of the movement speed add-ons is that he gets less time to turn.

    He moves forwards faster but has a harder time making sudden turns. Along with the hit windows becoming smaller and smaller the longer the rush chain goes due to the speed stacking.

    Also your both complaining about mass slowdown on a slugging build... Which one did he have? Killers only have 4 perks and well he needs at least 3 perks to either for it to count as either.

    Also you can play around infectious by splitting up so him infinitely chaining it is you and your team misplaying.

    I get that your tilted from a blight going full try hard troll but your points are starting to contradict each other.

    You could say this about literally any killer you complete dope, blame it on your own inability to cope with loss in a videogame. If i die to several RBT's several games in a row, i too, could hop on the forum and say "Congrats pig players, you made me hate solo surv" like an idiot. But thankfully, i am not an idiot.

  • Inspire
    Inspire Member Posts: 123

    But the thing is is that RBT are RNG based, Getting slugged out by a blight with strong addons in solo queue isn't. The OP has the right to come on the forums and talk about their experience with players like this as much as you do.

  • GrimoireWeiss
    GrimoireWeiss Member Posts: 1,452

    Speed addons literally make turning easier at loops. It's like double engravings on Billy, you get hits that you wouldn't without them.

    His build was Ruin, Undying, Infectious and Monitor and Abuse. The first two are slowdowns, the other two for slugging. Having both at the same build is totally doable. I'm also not complaining about this specific Blight (hence why the "s" on the title).

    "Also you can play around infectious by splitting up" again you don't get the point of the post. Solo survivor is already miserable enough, coordinating against a good Blight with Infectious is not easy. He can patrol the almost the entire map with one usage of his power. He left everyone slugged so eventually we had to go back and pick up. At this point there's no time to split up.

  • Warcrafter4
    Warcrafter4 Member Posts: 2,917

    Ok its clear now that you have never played blight or at least never with the speed add-ons as Movement Speed is =/= to Turn-Rate, which are a separate add-on line.

    There's no point in discussing this further.

    I feel like Killers should be relied on addon, being weak but an addon buff them in an aspect greatly.

    Iri stone, honing stone, bloody coil make the lack of bag feel more than okay to play. Though the flood of "slightly faster setup, slightly increase disarming time" addon makes us all wish all of those were brown bag addon.

    Image bloodweb only spawn Brown bag, Iri stone, honing stone, bloody coil. I bet youre willing to play Trapper than you think. Wheb you dont pay Millions on useless addon

    I still can't get over the fact i got told off by a survivor for only doing chainsaw billy...

    Of course they don’t, he’s a strong Killer.l that’s fun to play and hard to learn. Everyone wants a baby Trapper they can loop for 2 minutes while 4 gens pop.

  • MrCalac123
    MrCalac123 Member Posts: 1,147

    Aww, he had a bad game against a slugging Blight and now he hopes Blight gets nerfed. Pffffft, give me a break. A Billy could have done that and he’s already been gutted and ruined.

    Damn, I guess I've missed the last Blight meeting where we collectively decided, that's right every single one of us, that we'll play like this.

    I had a better time when MMR was on for the solo queue. I hope they add that to the game soon because the struggle is REAL right now. I don't even play survivor it's just that bad.

    Not going to lie, that is hilarious. I always remember for every toxic survivor I run into, some hero like this will deliver karmic retribution. Sorry you were collateral damage.

  • I thought he was one of the most fun killer to play against, I see him winning every "Best killer to play against" poll
