The fact that this even works really says a lot about the balance of this game...

I'm More so saying being a lil crapper after dowing with a strong addon.

You would think that iri finger would cause Clown to get dizzy from his own bottles or something. Punish people for missing and preventing him from hovering over them for the insta-down.

Deadlock only gets half its value unless the killer leaves and pressures the gen. If not, it'll be waiting exactly where it left off before getting blocked, which means you just rotate gens. Facecampers don't get to pressure the gen unless its right next to the hook.

Maybe on a mid-tier SWF, but even then...with a Clown? No, not even with Iri finger. You'd have to be further up on the tierlist, Artist, maybe Plague, but I think even with Plague you just slam through this, deadlock wouldn't be able to prevent semi-coordinated gens.

On the upper tier of skill Hen's squad basically guarantees maybe one kill from this even if they're perkless and itemless.

The core issue is that camping and tunneling has a much lower skill floor than how to counteract camping and tunneling. It is counterable even in solo queue but it requires the average skill level of the survivors in the match to be much higher than the Killer's skill level.

It also contributes to Killers that do camp and tunnel feeling they need to always camp and tunnel (as opposed to select, strategic usage by Killers). It puts Killers in a higher MMR bracket than they could obtain with healthier gameplay so they have underdeveloped chase skills for the MMR bracket they're in.

The low skill floor required versus the skill level needed to counteract it is just unhealthy all around.

YOU are not supposed to be doing all 5 gens while someone is on hook, YOUR TEAM is supposed to. You can only do your own part, but the more people stop lamenting they can't 1v1 and work together, the better survivors do in that situation. By refusing to adapt you literally hold back the ones that do try to punish the killer for it.

Edit: In regards to the circular logic of gen rush vs tunneling, that is indeed a very big problem that affects both sides evenly, despite a lot of people claiming its only an issue for one side. Its a big part of the reason why a lot of these issues people pose as only affecting one side need to be approached from both sides, since the solution to one often creates new problems for the other.

I semi-agree with that. The thing with Hatchets is that you can cross-map someone if you're accurate enough and that's something Pinky Finger can't do in a billion years. There are stronger add ons then Pinky Finger that don't have downsides even besides that, and I feel don't really need downsides.

The best thing you could do is just make it not work if you're within 24 meters of a hook, imo. Same with Bubba's Chainsaw or what have you. I don't even like that solution because I feel if you try to bomb the hook you should be punished severely for an unsafe rescue, but I think it';s the best thing you could do to keep the game fun and ultimately it just hampers this one particular add on.

You're welcome to think thats impossible, but others do it all the time. And while i'm not going to use their success to invalidate your failures, i'm also certainly not going to use your failures to invalidate their success. Deadlock doesn't itself guarantee 2 minimum kills, and you're trying to take away a tool that is legitimately one of the only defenses killers really have to gen rushing (especially early game) because killers use it while camping and tunneling, which are problem responses to.... Early game gens being too fast and determining the pace of the game in the first few minutes. You don't even need those two perks to genrush someone enough to prevent a 2 man, and if they truly are facecamping then deadlock does literally nothing if you understand how to rotate gen pressure.

If you're somewhat decent and play as sweaty as possible on killer, you'll win 99% of the time. The game isn't balanced around good killers. It's balanced around absolute average ones.

Also, I've played against Pro before, and I don't know if he's playing on dial up or what, but it's hard to loop a killer that hits you from halfway down a C wall. I thought I was playing against someone from Asia on a VPN

I do get annoyed by pubstompers like him though. Gets by simply by trying harder than any of his opponents. Would get 2 or 3 staged at best by any comp team.

That Streamer piqued my interest when I heared about his series of really long win streakes, but when I watched a couple it was just hard-core tunneling and camping, while severely BMimg the survivors and cussing then really mean.

Every single one of this aspects would make him undesirable for me to watch again, not to speak about the combo. To each their own, but my amazement about his long streakes quickly vanished when I learned about his MO and all the unneeded BM.
