Basekit BT is useless, perk BT is still necessary

the 5 seconds are worthless, since it's permanent killers will know to just wait the 5 and down you. the 7%? it's nothing and gives you no distance. Honestly 10-12 seconds should be basekit and the perk should protect only the user like it used to, should also deter basement bubbas

    Everyone should be running off the record if they have this opinion, it overrides BT so you dont have to worry about what the rescuer is using. I dont really see any reason to have 4 BTs over 4 OTRs. Dont forget it also gives you full iron will and aura reading protection even if you cancel the endurance.

    This is true. But will only really work in a 4 man SWF.

    When playing Solo you cannot afford to drop BT, because you dont know if the Survivor has OTR or not.

    Youre right, i think it will get better with time, people are still adjusting and the amount of OTRs will probably increase greatly eventually. I think many people probably dont even own zarina yet. I think it will be similar to how you could somewhat expect your teammate to have DS back in its prime

    Basekit BT is completely useless on basement hooks. The killer doesn't even have to block your path for long to wait out the BT. I have yet to get use out of basekit BT because 5 seconds isn't long at all.

    I called this would happen. The 7% percent speed boost is worthless. They should have just given the existing BT and have the BT perk still add 10 seconds on top. Giving you 5 seconds for free if anything hurts because the killers rarely have to worry about full BT.

    Why not make it 10-12 seconds and get rid of the perk ? basekit version is almost useless and I don't want to run BT personally it's boring, it's in a weird spot, just make it good basekit

    Saves just like before the patch still requires teamwork. The base bt is enough time for teammates to position themselves to cover an escape or at least provide time to reach a fresh pallet.

    Requires team work? ######### are you on about? It should take ONE person to get an unhook while others are on gens. Period. Anything else is wasting time. And also. If a Killer is returning to hook to hit the saver or unhooked, that's cheap af. But also should be giving the other 2 people time to stay on gens. THIS is why solo queue is a nightmare.

    Don't know how effective your teammates are but a single survivor is enough to do just what I suggested. I also don't see anything wrong with the killer coming back to pressure a zone where atleast 2 survivors are guaranteed to be.
