Blight players are good, but they are all the same

Why do people complain about seen the same addon and go on its boring? Most addons don't change the actual gameplay they just reduce cooldown or add a effect you can get from a perk. The addons that change gameplay normally come with so crazy downside or activation requirements where you have to play bad.

High mmr survivors are good, but they're all the same.

Gone against high mmr survivors for awhile now and they all use the same pool of like 8 perks. As well as there almost always being the bnp or styptic.

I would fall down dead of a heart attack if I had match without dead hard. It isn't a broken perk but its boring when everyone uses it.

I don't see a difference between your grievances and the above ones. It is still a valid point, but is a double edges sword as well. Most, if not all, every grievance of monotony or pure meta builds can be said for survivors as well.

(Though for the record I play blight and usually bring meme builds because the game is no longer fun if you try to win so I just have fun.)

Which is why if they know what's good for them, they should always support killer buffs. If they want to change the meta they're tired of facing, the weaker killers need to be buffed or the survivor perks need to be nerfed.

We've tried the strategy of just nerfing the top killer. Nurse, Hillbilly, Freddy, Spirit, even Blight with the Compound 32. Every time you nerf the strongest add-on, people are just gonna use the next best thing. Nerf the strongest killer, they're just gonna use the next best one. But that's been done so many times at this point, it's created a stale meta where 1 or 2 killers are viable and 1 or 2 are right beside them simply because they can tunnel/camp the easiest. Everyone below them is absolutely garbage and can't compete against all teams, just the weaker teams.

I love playing Blight, but I don't like to use Alchemist Ring because I find it very boring. Vigo's Journal, C22, current Adrenaline Vial, the iridescent ones are all so fun. I wouldn't mind if they nerf Alchemist Ring cause it feels very cheap and boring to see it all the time too. It's also preferable to see an addon nerfed than the killer itself.

I see, I get it. I am a killer main as well and every time I used to play survivor it was spirit before the nerf. I really feel that the meta for everyone is stagnant. It's so fun when a killer or survivors have some oddball perks and want to have fun. Survivors memeing is fairly common when playing against demo I've found. The problem arises that the way the game is made the killers have limited options if they want an assured way to win often. A good team of survivors on coms can with a little challenge still beat a killer with no perks. But a lot of killers who haven't given up on winning and are just having fun can still win without perks but it is tenfold more difficult compared to survivors on coms. solo q is a different story because your teammates usually hide in corners across the map.I think the game itself is stagnant.

now a days, Its not even add-ons themselves being no mither-level. its entire base killer power at base-kit being no mither-level. Like why would you expect to see nemesis, a killer that has to hit 3 times to down a survivor over blight? Artist similar design with her ranged crows requiring two consecutive hits to inflict 1 health state. Trickster has laceration mechanic that allows survivor's self-heal on his own power. Cenobite that breaks his own chain anti-loop and survivors manipulating chains to rubberband them on environment for instant breaks.

Now a days, killer powers just sabotage themselves. That is just looking at last 4 killer releases after blight itself. Let us exclude Twins that just keep getting negatives changes for random reasons. It doesn't look like add-on problem for new guys. it looks more like base-kit problem.

Killers that have add-on problems are those that got changed by survivor mains. Like freddy has add-on problem because his good add-ons got nerfed including his base-kit which now sucks. The same can be said for Billy who has add-ons that are like.... Black Grease that only activates when you get blinded or that iri brick that gives billy undetectable after 2 seconds of being in chainsaw sprint. Deathslinger's add-ons were never good. but at least his base-kit wasn't a joke. now it is. Because most of these killer already went through their revision changes, they're unlikely to receive any other changes.

So I would say that changing add-ons is not as great of priority now a days as it is making base-kit killers just better overall. The killers they're changing right now legion and ghostface. they have base-kit mechanics that sabotage themselves. Namely, legion loses a portion of his power gauge when he successfully lands an M1 attack putting his power on cooldown and ghostface loses his entire stalk meter on that survivor takes an m1.

Honestly, I'm not facing that many blights. I played for like, 9 hours today? And in total I think it was about 5 blights or something like that. 2 of them were super good, the other 3 were bad/meh. 🤔

A term I've applied to these terribly designed killers is that they have "built-in counters". Almost every killer has one, but some are more obvious or extreme than others.

Wraith slows down a lot when uncloaking, which negates his long lunge out if cloak.

Freddy gives survivors clocks so that they can't be affected by his snares or his undetectable.

Legion goes into fatigue and can't see scratch marks for using his power.

Oni going into his power makes survivors stop dropping blood orbs

Twins let survivors kill Victor if he misses OR if he hits.

Trickster's knives dissolve or something stupid.

Nemesis gives survivors T-Virus cures.

Pinhead shows the survivors the box's aura from across the map.

Onryo is gonna give survivors tapes that can take away 4/7 of their meter.

All of these are literally part of the killer's power that works against the player that's using them.

Old school back rev Billy wasn’t oppressive though compared to current blight

he can't if you know his hitbox and tiles.

There are plenty of loops that are almost impossible to go against, and if you do try to loop there, you will waste wayyy too much time. It goes both ways. There's literally a strategy for killer, which is to leave chase. A loop is so powerful, so strong, that we are forced to leave chase. There are things that are just sometimes uncounterable on both sides.
