Opinion on the July Dev Update

I would have rather they done something about its synergy with another perk that requires a recent paid dlc than nerf it in a way that basically requires said perk. especially considering the gen slowdown meta got gutted outside of this specific combo to begin with.

I like the changes, except the overcharge one. Went from OP (which wasn't OK) to a worse call of brine, and not worth running on its own.

With such heavy nerfs to slow down perks, the overall speed of Gen repair will actually be faster, 50 extra seconds to repair all gens just won't do. Slow game killers who relied on the slowdown to have any chance to actually get something going will have no options. Fast game killers will thrive, since they already didn't needed the slowdown perks to begin with. And so the gap between the top shelf killers and the rest of the roster widens.

I thought killers were supposed to be encouraged to kick generators more? With the overcharge nerf, there aren’t any generator kicking perks worth playing anymore. Wasting two perk slots for a nerfed overcharge and call of brine doesn’t seem worth it anymore, and I certainly don’t want to play overcharge by itself.

Overcharge was overnerfed.

Deadhard and Botany will no longer be used.

Spine Chill needs to not be clear line of sight - vision and hearing impaired community have made this very clear.

i'll take the new 2mil BP cap! Odd they say that now though after supposedly 'reducing' the grind haha

I love the new portraits even if they still have the issue of looking bad if you didn't go full Gotta Catch 'Em All with P3s, and I'll admit I'm the guy celebrating on Dead Hard's grave. I'm relieved they fixed Endurance stacking (even if I think with Dead Hard, only one of those nerfs was necessary.) And I'm happy they're looking at a way to improve the quality of bloodwebs now that you can't infinite P3-50 them. There is some good stuff in there, I just think it also came with a few baffling choices.

Botany's better for a healing-other-people build than it was before - I use it with Autodidact, so it works fine for me - and with CoH. But it's worse for self-healing, and that's how a lot of people used it.

Personally I dont run botany but see it alot at higher ranks. My preference is BT and We'll Make It.

Honestly my only real issue is what they are doing to spine chill. Understand taking away the additional vault speed but I have a hard enough time seeing and hearing the killer as is. Why make the game less accessible? Leave the perks as is until you fox the underlying accessibility issues.
