Blight, blight, blight and another blight.
Please, for the love of god buff the other killers! So sick of going against Blight because everything else is so weak :(
It doesn't help that they all run the same build with alch and crow addon..
I'm not saying nerf him ( do fix the exploits though) but to stop nerfing everyone else. There have been no twins, myers wraith, Trapper, Trickster, freddy, legion, demo, Ghost face, spirit or Trickster.
One doctor 4 clowns 2 bubbas (basement.. yay.), 2 hags 1 plague, 2 pigs, 1 oni, 4 Nemesis a bunch of Huntress and at least one of the rest.. But blight is by far the most common, showing up roughly every second or third game, if not back to back.
He is getting boring just because he is so common and they usually run the same build. It is made even more frustrating when your team mates are so sick of him that they DC the moment they hear the rush or just go afk.
I know i am typing words at a brick wall and they will probably nerf Pig, slinger and Twins again next chapter, But i just need to vent at the void that caused this
I am actually starting to feel sorry for survivor mains if this is the norm and the killers i play are the relief between the blight madness.

I saw a Blight today. I literally never see them unless they're AFK. I said to him "Aren't you in the wrong lobby?" He agreed and left me alone.

Plot twist: there was another Blight.
12 -
Didn't his exploits get fixed?
0 -
People figured out a new way to lag flick after the old one got patched.
10 -
Yeah it’s a shame more killers aren’t being buffed up to a similar level but I don’t think the devs want too many killers to be “top tier” for some reason. You’d think we could at least have more than 3 or 4 tho.
6 -
Killers aren't using Blight with his busted addons and "techs" because other killers are too weak, they're playing Blight because he has busted addons and cheesy exploits. I know this forum be quite defensive when it comes to Blight, but buffing any other killer isn't going to change the actual reason Blight is so obnoxiously common.

How can Blight players be so creative and good at finding exploits
0 -
I'm pretty sure every strong killer players are playing them just because that is the only way, and I'm also 100% sure buffing other killers WILL results in more killers at higher ranks.
And do note those killers are actually only killers who can get to high MMR, other killers falls off early and can't reach higher MMR survivors.

They're playing Blight because he has busted addons and cheesy exploits.
??? Most of us play Blight because he's fun, viable at high mmr and rewards skillful play.
And if you're referring to hug tech as a "cheesy exploit" then you're just objectively incorrect because it's an intended feature that McLean confirmed himself, and it's not even that it's uncounterable you can very easily tell when the Blight's gonna use it and simply move away from the loop and he won't even see it.
Unless you're talking about lag flicks and actual cheats, which I absolutely agree should be removed.

When the spirit was strong, every game was a 50/50 between her and the blight, when was the last time you saw a spirit?
11 -
Yea hopefully we'll see some changes.
This community is so boring. Always playing the same killers, always doing swf, always same perks.
See, this is why dc penalities are bad. We can't dc and go next against sweaty losers
2 -
Do you remember when spirit was actually used in comp? Not anymore. Spirit is a bit like Michael. Broken with the iri and pretty meh without it. Spirit's gone down further than many people admit. Maybe high B tier, maybe low A. Right around huntress. And don't get me wrong Spirit , like Huntress can absolutely wreck a team if they know what they're doing. But she's no longer competitively viable.
9 -
This is probably right to an extent, I know how people are. But still, more viable killers at higher levels of play will spread out the love as people won't feel compelled to just play Nurse or Blight, or just Blight because Nurse is too hard, just to get a foot on the ground against super efficient SWF groups.
2 -
It's not people only playing same killers, the fact is, only few killers can actually win games to match with higher MMR survivors.
At low MMR, there will be a lot more variety to killers.

Blight sure is a Blight, ain't he?
0 -
Blight is like Dead Hard. Just to good not to use.
6 -
Don't forget they gave him another broken add on to add to the pile with the adrenaline vile buff. Paired with the yellow recharge add on, his charges come back in 0.66 seconds. So much for that "lengthy cooldown" that supposedly balances him. Oh and adren. also gives him better flicks, extra rush tokens, and faster rushes. Who needs alchemists ring when this even more broken combo exists? But hey, I'm sure the spreadsheet says "is balanced" when you include every player that just got the game and has no idea how any of the mechanics work.
Meanwhile Spirit has a weaker chase power with a longer cooldown, less mobility, AND is 4.4m/s....
0 -
Just nerf him
9 -
The only problematic things with Blight are Alchemist Ring and lag flicks. Other than that he's the second best-designed and best-balanced killer in the game, first being Nurse.
0 -
It's hilarious, people think it's skillful enough to make montages on YouTube with literally exclusively "lag flicks".
0 -
Thanks the devs for not properly fixing his exploits. Its worse than before.
3 -
arenaline vial gives "better flicks"? are you sure what the ######### you are talking about?
0 -
DC’ing is still against the rules no matter how boring you think the game gets. It ruins the match for other players.
12 -
Have you tried growing up and not being selfish and ruining it for your 3 other teammates cause you can't handle playing against something in the game?
5 -
Yea I'm pretty damn sure.
3 -
That's not enough to compensate for turn rate reduction.
0 -
To summarise some of your points:
Reason for maining blight: he's one of the few viable killers. No one else can hold their own against the elite swfs I go against daily, and also the occasional group of megheads who I'm going to slug at 5 gens (I'm sorry, MMR is making me play sweaty, it's out of my hands at this point)
Alternative reason for maining blight: because he's busted af. He lacks meaningful counterplay like running in a straight line for as long as possible, or running round in a circle for as long as possible
Anyway my reason for maining blight: rush hit connects = dopamine go brrrr
1 -
I mean just going another side of rock is pretty much enough counterplay to blight most of time, and if you do so he has to act like usual m1 killer which gets stunned by palette anyway.
I don't get where those "blight no counter" gang came from.
5 -
Claiming a killer has "no counerplay" is just what survivors say when they want a killer to get nerfed for no actual reason.
10 -
Game is ruined by the time people see Blight, they start trolling and dive bombing hooks . Dc wont change anything
1 -
Didn't take long to find examples. The look rate angle means he can flick further around corners. Turn rate doesn't matter for the actual flick afaik. And this is only a few days since the update. I'm sure people will find more broken ways to use it.
5 -
dude I hate D/C penalty but I never DC as survivor why not just ######### on first hook like everyone else does.
0 -
Adrenaline Vial OP?!
I know it got buffed but it aint that good. It neuters your turning rate to the point where everything that made blight good is worse.
1 -
Well it is somewhat better now, but even then I think it will reduce the range you can hit with M2...
0 -
Scratch what i had said, just watched lilith omen's video on it and it is quite broken.
1 -
You sure you want to play against nurse 24/7?
9 -
It's he what is broken, not add-on.
0 -
True that, but the add on is much better than i thought it was
0 -
It definitely is, but I mean if you compare to old vial which was literally a meme addon, any addon can be much better.
3 -
Oh yeah I agree, I think he's well designed.
2 -
The sole exception at the moment are lag flicks. People found a new way to do them after the old method was patched. But other than that, yeah, you're correct.
0 -
Unfortunately, not really. Ideally, BHVR will patch the new methods out again quickly.
0 -
survivors keep demanding the devs nerf the fun out of every killer then they wonder why survivor queue times just keep getting longer and longer and longer
9 -
We need more alternatives to the top mmr killers. With lots of buffs to underperforming/underpicked killers.
With 26 killers in the roster, only having like 3 for the top mmr is kinda... meh
3 -
too bad survivor players would rather the devs keep nerf nerf nerfing until there's no killers left and they're sitting at the lobby screen wondering what happened
8 -
I mean that's just what it is now in my region.
0 -
Nerf nurse then. Who do you think we'll play against once these 2 are nerfed?
0 -
The queue. You´ll play against the queue.
3 -
I'm pretty sure you'll not. there is more than needed killer players even right now
