Time to quit

I see a few issues with your statements here but lets adress the first thing. Time to quit. Then quit. no ones stopping you if you don't like change go play another game.

Now to address the comments in your post.

You say whats to stop killers bringing stacked regression perks. how is this different from before this update? Killers have always been able to do this its just a form of playstyle. As a killer main I can argue with this update whats to stop survivors bringing stacked endurance and speed perks that have been buffed??

Every survivor meta perk decimated...not exactly. Balancing doesnt mean decimated. Lets break it down.

Dead hard has been buffed. on the face of it the perk looks bad but in practice when used efficently it will give survivors much more distance and a free hit.

Ds was nurfed but it was needed. The stun timer brings it in line with pallet and head on stun timers.

BT has been buffed a lot because ontop of the endurance you also get the 7% speed boost for the 15 seconds.

Self care was nurfed yes but there are alternative perks you can use instead. Boon circle of healing or just bring a medkit.

Iron will is a fair nerf as it doesnt make survivors completly invisible.

Now you say bloodlust got buffed. Well yes it did. but only tier 2 and 3. Most killers will get a hit either before blood lust 1 or during blood lust 1. If a killer gets to bl2 or bl3 then either the survivor has a god tier setup or the survivor is just higher skill. And a higher skilled player will know to pallet stun a killer to reset blood lust timers.

I find it intersting that you don't mention any survivor buffs and just complain about nerfs. Off the record (although will likely be changed) is a great solo survivor perk as it can help when your farmed off the hook. Botony knowledge got a buff meaning the healing meta is even better now.

All in all the update has its ups and downs but both sides got nerfs and both sides got buffs.

What we are seeing on the forums is players just complain for the sake of complaining and most don't want to stop and think about how the new versions of the perks will work in practice or how some of them will become very powerful when comboed.

I'm mostly solo (killer as side) and I'm looking forward to the changes as well.

The Corrupt Intervention change alone is going to do a lot for my matches, I'm imagining.

A lot of the niche perks also look pretty fun and will fit into my 'Totem' and 'Rescue' builds.

I am a bit upset that they MASSACRED MY BOY, SELF-CARE, THOUGH!!!

Stealing this with my grubby little paws!

Or you're playing Low MMR where people use the worst tactics all the time.

After a good night sleep, I feel the changes have many very strong buffs for survivors. Some may even be OP.

As a solo survivor, I'll be sure to try them. The game seems to get healthier, it's certainly not the time to leave.

Is it really that crazy to believe a solo q player can do well without meta perks...?

Yeah, but now running 2 perks for heal yourself?

It's good for healing others, too. I like to combine them with other healing perks so I can get big heals on everyone.

Yes after years of catering to survs, somehow they now magically hate the base they cater to the most. Cool story bro.

Solo or not, helping your team is always to your benefit. (If that's news to you, try to consider it.)

I tend to get to end game (unless tunneled of course) and then sometimes it's hard to reach the gates. Speed is always good. Remember that killers are only 115% at most.

Instead of "letting all your team die", I often have a team that ends up dying (usually half, then it's whoever fails to escape a chase first). It happens often (even as an average survivor, the game sense of 2.5k hours helps with survival)

I don't think you realize how good Dark Sense it. People are crying against Nurse or Blight : how can these two handle 10s wallhacks against all but the most inept survivors?

There is no one-size-fits-all. It's about strengths, weaknesses and the role you want to play.

I'm guessing you don't enjoy solo queue very much.

I always play assuming my team will not be awful. I survive half the time. The ones I don't survive, I usually have saved someone else instead. (Something that will be taken into account in the future btw.)

Games with irredeemable teams are quite rare in my experience. So much so that I tend to vent here when I get them.

I'm in Europe and usually play survivor between 17:00 an 19:00 CET. Maybe it's a factor.

I recommend desperate measures with that build. Will be more important than ever with the Thanatophobia buff.

But you play at night. At night I only play killer, usually against quite strong teams until about 23:00. After that time, it's quite often a butcher shop.

Maybe we have played against each other (or together) already over these last few years.
