Get rid of the "hold W" meta
Playing both killer and survivor, yes I get that killer is faster than survivors, but almost every game I run into sprint burst hold W people who run prove thyself and sprint burst to just sit on gens and then sprint burst to a safe pallet, even if that pallet is far away there is no way I can catch up to them. Even in chases I feel if survivors just hold w they can outrun killers for a good 8 seconds of free chase time until the killer m1's them and hey, free sprint burst and it just encourages them to hold w.
I am not saying survivors SHOULDNT run away at all, I am just saying this needs a balance check because if it has become the meta with 12-26 pallets also spawning all around the map then maybe the survivors base speed or killers base speed needs a touchup. Any ideas/comments/concerns on this? Lets discuss

They are but if the base movement speeds are touched up either killers can patrol the map faster or survivors cant hold chases as stupidly long.

You would need to completely change most of the maps and that is not happening

Iron will enables this braindead playstyle because the killer won't know in time if he is still in the loop or he walked to the next one and will waste his time trying to mindgame.

That’s why Iron Will is a problem. Honestly just wish they’d nerf it especially after Spirit got nerfed.

Many people here would have you believe Hold W meta isn’t a thing.

Stridor got nerfed, so why not IW?

Many people here are maliciously dishonest, so I believe that.

Hold w exists on both sides, not just survivor.

Care to elaborate what exactly holding W on killer is?

Chasing a survivor forever, refusing to break pallets for bloodlust, never mindgaming, just following.

And how exactly is that a problem? W meta is the most op thing in the game for survs, if killer wants to "w key" then let em, its a free win
