BT is confirmed to be 20 seconds of Endurance
So congrats on shaking up the meta when BT has just been buffed even further, thus solidifying it's place in the meta even further
The least you could've done was make it +5 seconds to each

i mean isnt there even less reason to run bt itself when the basekit bt is 10 seconds and 10% haste?

you could have 10 seconds of endurance and 10% haste, or you could have 20, practically ensuring that anyone you save will 100% of the time make it to a tile and survive even from basement, when not even the 10 seconds could guarantee this with some well-timed killer bodyblocks. why wouldn't you run the perk

My teammates were already laughing all the way to the Exit Gates with 15 second BT, so much so that I decided to go all in with a BT, Guardian, NOLB, Adrenaline build and now that it's 20 seconds, my teams basically gonna get the Star powerup from Mario.

Another episode of "Things that never happen"

Honestly, since the change to 5 seconds base endurance I have seen almost no BTs on other Survivors (I am still running it).
I expect that there will be even less BT-Users when it is 10 seconds of base Endurance.

do you think 20 seconds of Endurance during the End Game Collapse isn't strong, especially now that DS and OTR do not work?

They got time to nerf blast mine , but didn't think to adjust BT.

I think if you compare how common camping and tunnelling it is, and how toxic it is as well for the game, the pros heavily outweight the cons. Also, not everyone is getting carried by voice communication just like you are.

I've been bullying everyone I play with even semi-frequently to keep using it

10s is enough to run out of basement and to get safe.
0 -
if the killer is semi-competent and can bodyblock then 10s isn't enough to guarantee.

Because tunneling and camping are not meant to be strong, this is their new philosophy.
0 -
so actually shake up the meta instead of buffing bt further and thus relegrating it to perks
0 -
The survivor has to make mistake 10s still is enough even if killer blocks.

Dude, this will shake up the meta. BT was used so much because it was necessary.
It's the same reason why DS shouldn't have ever been nerfed.
Now BT will still be a viable and strong choice, which I think is good, but it won't be necessary.
5 seconds and very few people would have continued to use that perk.

The Blast Mine nerf was completely unnecessary, but BT did not need to be adjusted. It's fine with extra 10 seconds.

it would have if they hadn't buffed bt further

10 seconds is more than enough. The only reason to run the BT perk is to create a situation where you're freshly unhooked team mate can body block the killer to stop them from downing the unhooker.
As a person who normally plays solo q when i'm survivor, this is going to cause poor decision making on the behalf of other survivors. They have already been hook bombing in front of the killer (even if they aren't camping) with the 3 sec BT. Now with 10s it'll be worse. I want smarter team mates not lazy ones b/c of base buff BT.

I've only seen one or two other survivors with it since the change as well. I sometimes run it but that's with a BT, Guardian, NOLB build because, especially if the unhooked survivor has SB or takes a hit, I find it humorous to see how fast the unhooked survivor runs with that combo.
I alternate between calling it my 'Run Forrest Run!' or my 'Run Barry Run!' build depending on if I've watched The Flash recently or not.

I had a BT save me yesterday in a solo game.
1 -
They didn't. The basekit BT was buffed, BT still adds 10 seconds like it did before. So it will simply be less necessary now.

No. The endgame is plenty of reason still. I wouldn't worry. There's going to be plenty of diaper filling over this and it'll be nerfed at some point.
