After hug tech is gone, will blight still be the second strongest killer in the game? (no add-ons)
Even after this change l still believe blight will still be a great killer due to how his power works but removing hug tech will affect him a little.
I personally am not a person who plays blight a lot but I know how hug tech helps you on some occasions, especially in some loops that blight 100% shouldn't be able to catch the survivor if he wasn't using this strategy.
So after this change arrives i wonder if basekit blight will hold in second place since he can no longer hit survivors where he shouldn't.
( let's be real, blight mains will find a new tech lol).

I mean, he has the single best non-teleport mobility across the board. That alone puts him quite high.

He still has good base-kit and insane add-ons. So yeah, this change will not affect him so much.

He will not move at all in the tierlist. He will still be S tier right behind nurse.

definitely, hug-tech really isn't as vital to his kit as everyone seems to think it is
2 -
I assume so do blight players really use hug tech every time they get rush hits?
0 -
I definitely think so. Survivors will have a fairer amount of counterplay, but his power will still be pretty strong in chases, and his map pressure will still be really good.
They definitely will also need to look at his op addons as well. And then hopefully buff some of his weaker addons.

Oh without a single doubt. I'm sure there's gonna be some people on the forums saying it'll be the end of the world and Blight will be F tier but that's par for the course.

He'll be perfectly fine. Still be 2nd best.

Was the case before hug tech was found.

First off.. how dare you.
Second off. It is the end of the world.
And he will be zzz tier. And so boring to face and needs more nerfs.
Third off. /s

People either dont know what hug tech is or are simply thinking every tech they seen is hug tech. Blight wont change at all after hug tech is gone folks.
Only thing that changes is the one of the easiest techs for controller players will be gone.

He was a top killer before “hug tech” was even a thing. So he’ll still be one even if it didn’t exist.
Also it’s funny that there are so many replies saying they think this is an unpopular opinion but I didn’t notice anybody that actually thinks removing hug tech would take Blight out of S Tier.
2 -
I know it wouldn’t, so I’m not sure why so many posts say lots of people think it would.

All the Blight mains are saying that bump logic is superior anyway. So, the answer is he will still be.

because people will do anything to protect their perks and gameplay from being nerfed in any manner shape or form, regardless of how miniscule of an effect it could possibly have.

Overrated, mate stay delusional. Blight will become an M1 killer on most loops on autoheaven for example.
2 -
No, sliding Demogorgon is going to take his rightful place as the second best Killer
0 -
I already invited you once to a custom game and you never accepted it, so no idc about your blight rushes and yes you are delusional. And I never said that its the only way to get hits. But still, on many loops, like for example on autoheaven he will actually become m1 killer.

I play blight without the hug tech it feels comfortable them removing it won't really change anything
1 -
I invited you to a 4v1 though

All the really good Blight players will be just fine and won't even notice the nerf. The bad Blights getting carried by hug tech will have to go back to Wraith or Spirit
0 -
For sure, unless they gut his addons.
0 -
He will most likely stay as second best, but he will become more map dependant.
Basically Spirit got nerfed more, that's why he will stay second.

Nothing will change in all honesty since hug techs are more for show than anything else besides at a few loops. It's going to suck trying to traverse indoor maps without it though and getting around the god awful collision some objects/maps have.
0 -
What's the point in having a power if yoj cant even use it mid chase
0 -
No he will drop to third best behind spirit. Hopefully this change doesn't go thru and they don't gut him
0 -
He'll still be better than Spirit and the rest by a fairly wide margin.
Likewise, this is assuming the change actually works.
2 -
he will become significantly weaker on filler loops. Probably spirit will take his place, since she can use her power on those loops effectively, he can’t without hug tech.
i just hope the bug fix gets live today

Just like how the really good wraith and freddy and spirit and billies were just fine, and didn't even notice the nerfs?
1 -
I already consider Spirit to be generally stronger. She isn't map dependent at all unlike him.
0 -
Wraith and Freddy got butchered, what do you mean
0 -
with his sheer amount of map pressure? yes.
being able to go from one gen to the other on the opposite side of the map in 8 seconds with a short power cooldown is insane and only second to the nurse

Can someone explain to me why do Blight need the hug tech if he is already an s teir killer?
1 -
That's why he has 5 rushes. He has to use those in more complex situations.
Hug Tech makes it so you have to use 2 or 3, depending on the situation. It makes you skip a part of your cooldown if you weren't using all 5.

"Bad Blights" aren't carried by hug tech. Anyone can hug tech, but the difference between a bad blight with hug tech and a good blight with hug tech is that the good blight is going to be landing a lot more hits. I would say hug tech is a more advanced technique, and newer/lesser seasoned blights wont be able to do much with it.
I have accepted the change, honestly. I'll just find another killer to sink half of my lifetime into. Huntress has been fun recently. The removal of hug tech won't change much. It won't screw over the less skilled blights, because they don't use it at all anyway. It will not screw over the better blights much either, as they already have bump logic and flicks.
Hug tech made blight basically the only killer that you could get cool clips with. Besides maybe Huntress (one of the reasons Ive started to play her more). But then again, doing something cool with any killer will hardly compare to a cool clip from a blight.

Don't expect a change anytime soon if ever.
