I have a shadowborn addiction, please send help.
as someone who ran around the same build for months at a time and only made minor changes over the years. I never saw much diversity and never really branched out to other perks unless they became super meta. I hit rank 1 every single reset since since I started playing the game in 2016. Why would I change anything around much? But One night my silly self decided to meme around a bit and test out some perks that sounded cool that I had never used before. I saw shadow born and used it for 1 game, then I used the next game. And the next game, and the next game. And fast forward 2 months later I can’t play any killer match without it. The quality of life is too much. Who cares if I give up gen defense and two gens fly in the first chase . THE FOV IS TOO CLEAN. Please I need help, I don’t care about meta anymore or winning I just love the FOV too much as a console player since the game is so poorly optimized. The perk is just too good I don’t care what people say.

If you like it keep running it. I don’t but I can understand how people hate the restrictive FOV

I love this perk so much :D. Well I don't see a problem with it if you are not trying to win games or play meta stuff 24/7.

That's why I never in all 5 years have ever used shadowborn or strider outside of adepts.

I’m the same with Lethal Pursuer and STBFL. Games without them are just so much less enjoyable to me, they may not be comp picks but if they enhance my experience then who cares, right?
I say embrace the anti-meta and run what makes the game more fun for you! Full stacked meta builds are overrated.

Open hand and Kindred makes me feel like I have wall hacks and it's a bad addiction.

Its understandable. More so that default FOV is actual trash in this game, than the perk is good. It just making the FOV more normal to play with
1 -
Shadowborn is a pathetic perk because it’s a perk that some feel forced to use just so the damn game’s FOV feels good.
THE FOV SHOULD NOT BE TIED TO A PERK.
and if you INSIST on doing so, does it have to be so damn much? Why not add 5 FOV to all Killers and adjust the perks accordingly?

agreed 100%. as a console player i need it even with a ps5. the optimization on console is terrible even with next gen. especially when you get into chases on maps with tons of foliage like the farm maps. Even on PC I know plenty that use it, sucks I have to use shadowborn to make the game more playable.

shadowborn should be base kit not a perk. especially more so now with this stretch res ive heard so much about survivors exploiting
2 -
Killers can also use and explout stretched res, and one look at a lot of "high tier" killers shows they do use it, as well as filters. This exploit should be fixed for both sides.

I'm addicted to it as well. The quality of life is just too much to pass out. If you're also on last gen consoles like me the extra FOV actually helps with the lower framerate.
1 -
The irony is i remember mclean saying one big problem with j-flick was only pc people could use it because of turn limits on controllers. So console didn't even get to use it. Yet stretched has been like that forever. (Filters are allowed but are also pc exclusive so)

The help is coming. Don't worry.

I had withdrawal symptoms for a week. Good thing it was fixed so I can get my fix.
2 -
Can't blame you, regular FOV is terrible and makes me motion sick if i play too much in one go, it's unbearable.
1 -
Just now learned what shadowborn is, and now i need to play wraith to get it. Odd that they'd make something technical like a fov increase eat a perk slot... I guess i have 3 perks now. =(
1 -
You can use Monitor and Abuse as a replacement if you have it, it's not perfect and doesn't work during chases but it still helps abit.
0 -
A changing fov seems like it'd be more disorienting and unhelpful than not having an increase at all. Plus it's still eating a perk slot.
0 -
i never mentioned either side. the point is it seems its mostly used by survivors idk either way it being abused the lower older resolutions should be removed as most people have 1080p monitors not 1280 by 720 or whatever it is for older ones now lol. or even lower. not talking about filters. derailing what i said it should be part of killers basekit
