How would you feel if a mini corrupt intervention got made base kit?

I guess it depends on how it worked. I am a bit iffy on it. A little something, something to help with the early game, especially for slow burn killers would be a nice quality of life, but it has the potential to be "too much."

I always preferred the idea of Lethal being base kit instead. Especially with how garbo some of the spawns are.

Lethal pursuer helps with the early game and snowball effect. Most of my games a survivor is injured after 20 seconds.

I think this is a great Idea. Like 20sec or so, that whould be enouth. To give the Killer time to setup or reach the Survivor spawns

Having a gen finished quickly is better than having multiple gens being worked on at the same time.

On one hand I think "yes, this would help killers when they are struggeling the most, ie in early game" and it would also help the slow killers without mobility most, who are often considered to be the weakest in the game, BUT I really, really REALLY don't want everyone demanding more and more stuff to be basekit. The killers already got the pretty generous Brutal Strength and STBFL as semi-basekit. Mind you, that is not exactly the same, as this was a blanket balance patch that helped killers getting back on track, but it still fits the bill.

We already got a pretty good basekit now and while corrupt would be very nice and probably lead to more interesting games, I really want to close this pandoras box TIGHT.

Current Corrupt could fill the slot for basekit. Then revert for the perk.

Killers already got a lot of mini-basekit during 6.1. As much as Corrupt helps in early game, it would be too much for the balance in my opinion.

I wouldn't mind a mini Lethal though, just seeing the auras for 3 seconds or something. That way survivors could start their objective, but at their own risk.

If you mean current corrupt then yeah I would like that.

I'd be for this if they removed the base chase changes honestly.

I'd also rather they'd add a 6th gen than make gens 90s, makes solo working on gens without perks super boring.

I second this notion

The difference is that pre-update, a killer could just hit a survivor straight off the hook and put them straight back on. This made for grossly unfair/unfun gameplay - particularly for solo-queue and new players. BHVR fairly balanced this massive survivor buff by buffing many aspects of killer gameplay. To name a few: base-kit STBFL, reduced gen-speeds, reduced survivor speed-boost from injury, no end-game 2nd chance perks, and buffed bloodlust. Call me biased, but I would argue this was already a fair trade-off for base kit BT, which I'll add, only affects you if you hit a survivor off the hook - if you don't play this way, you won't even notice base kit BT.

The whole update was very killer-sided, which was fair because survivors dominated for too long. However, they need to look at statistics from the recent update before even considering base-kit Corrupt. If the statistic shows killer rates have increased (which I'd bet a lot they have), adding base-kit Corrupt will just be overkill. The buffed-gen speeds are already enough and there are countless perks/addons which enable you to get early-game pressure.

It's about that time. Survivors now get BT and Hope+Blight Serum for free.

No, Solo Queue is already very difficult the way it is.

Honestly, if I'd get even more gutted for playing without friends, then I'd probably decide to abandon the game for good.

Objectively speaking, the update was killer sided. Aside from the BT base-kit, survivors got tons of nerfs and even the 'buffed' 'new meta' perks (OTR, Botany, etc.) are still nowhere near as powerful as the old, pre-update survivor meta (DH, DS, etc.). Nor do they compare to the many, many buffs that killers received in the update. Also, mentioning killers that are considered weak by many doesn't mean the update wasn't killer sided - all that does is highlight which killers seriously need a rework/buff to their own, individual basekit, and the glaring holes in their design.

Sure, the gens now "only" take an extra 10 seconds, but that's 50 seconds across all gens, so nearly an extra minute. That also doesn't take into consideration the boring, relentless, gen slow-down/regression meta that a lot of killers are currently using. The update did exactly what it was supposed to: give killers more pressure and slow down gens. Although no 'official' data has been released, no-one can deny kill rates have gone up, and escape rates have gone down. We all know that from our own games.

How did 'second chance' perks and body blocking become stronger because of the update? All the 'second chance' perks that killers complained about (DH, DS) have been nerfed into oblivion and their usage has dropped significantly. The only really strong 'second chance' perk nowadays is OTR. As I said in my previous post, base-kit BT only affects you if you actively hit someone off the hook, and body-blocking is a viable strategy; no different from a killer proxy-camping or tunelling. Sure, not a 'fair' strategy and it sucks to be on the receiving end, but proven time and time again to be effective.

Finally: run Lethal Pursuer if you struggle with early game pressure. Of course killers are 'losing' at the start: isn't that the whole fun of killer to build pressure and get downs? Corrupt base-kit is basically free early-game downs, when killers already get free kills in the EDC because of the patch making DS, OTR, etc useless in the end game.

Perk is already a mini version of itself now. Haven't used it since they changed it. See no need to since first down deactivates it.
