What will happen first: gen tap nerf or a gen regression kick buff?🙃

They said multiple times that they don't want to mess with gen speeds directly so i don't think we will see any of this.

Neither tbh

IMO, the only gen tapping nerf needed is it should take 1-2 seconds of continuous repairing to stop regression.

Brutal Strength could be buffed to do a small amount of gen progress loss but base kit shouldn't be changed.

Agreed. I don't really get why they don't change it. Idk if they've ever explained their reasoning

The regression is fine of the gen kick, what I would say is the gen tapping which makes the regression not even come through.

My idea was very simple and would be such a easy solution, just simply put a progress bar to "undamage" the gen. So instead of just touching you need to hold for 4 full sec on the gen to get rid of the regression. If you let go to early then you need to start all over again, that prevents survivors to hide next to the gen and tap if the moment you leave.

Both ideas have great merit and should be implemented as soon as possible. Current gen regression is atrocious at the moment and the mathematics back that up in favor of survivors. It takes about 80 seconds for 1 survivor to complete a generator but base regression of a generation from 99% to 0% takes about 320 seconds, which is 4x the difference. Which basically makes it so that it isn't worth kicking the gen at all unless you have pop and even then it only regresses 25% at one time. It would 1 survivor only about 20 seconds to recover that regression and it is the best on kick regression overall in the game. Ruin itself has better regression but of course that comes with the risk of it being destroyed and in most cases clogging a killer's build with more regression perks in the inevitability that it is destroyed. If base regression was at least increased with a general 5%-10% regression with generator tapping brought under control it could lead to other fun perk combination outside of the standard 2-3 slowdown/regression perks for at least some of the player base.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't foresee any of them being changed anytime soon. These are things people have presented as problems for years.

Well devs repeatedly state to just use Overcharge if you dislike tapping.

So my vote would go to regression buff.

A regession buff is warranted but there's nothing wrong with gen tapping.

• Nerf Pop to 20% or even 15%
• Each kick regress the generator by 5%
• 1 or 2 s to cancel the regression

Would be a good start.

I dunno, i'd like for it to explode if let go.

Why you shouldn't kick it. If 2 to 4 survivors are swarming a gen, the last thing you should be doing is kicking that gen.

Gen tapping is only a thing because they added gen kicking. 😄

BHVR was so worried about regressing gens they only allowed it to regress in fourths. You had to kick it again to go down another quarter.

But to stop regressing it's only logical that repairing a gen would stop it. Just because that repair lasts less than a second shouldn't mean it ignores it and continues regressing.

The reason why Ruin is so unpopular is cuz ppl dont like to see their progress lost, no one likes to sit and hold M1, increasing the damage would just support boring gameplay for the survivors, there are better ways to make gen kicking better.

A kick should be 5% regression on the gen IMO. It will still be preferable to use pop for the extra 20% and survivors then need to think before gen tapping in chase.
