About the broken Blight

I have a very serious question. Why does the Blight have a speed of 4.6 when it is incredibly fast? I've thought about it a hundred times and it breaks my head. Why does poor Spirit have a speed of 4.4 when she DOES NOT SEE SURVIVORS and auras in the ability, and without the pink addon it is twice as slow as the Blight? I also ran through the Blight addons and they are almost cheater. Dear BHVR, does this mean anything to you?

If you don't want to fix the Blight, make Spirit 4.6 and just replace her speed addon with something else, for example, return the Father's Glasses. You should also rework her addons again, because everything except for speed and duration is garbage

    Although the speed argument is fair if we compare him to other killers, considering that on release people didn't know how strong he actually was, nerfing the base movement speed would change almost nothing for him. It's his add-ons and his "techs" (bugs) that need to be looked into. His basekit is perfectly fine

    What if we fix all his exploits (j flick, lag flick, hug tech, shoulder flick, 180 flick, moonrush), cap his maximum turn rate while attacking in rush to like 30-45°, and then make him 4.4m/s? I think that'd do miles of good to make him a bit more normal and less nurse tier.

    So you want to take literally everything away from him? That would literally cripple blight into trapper tier. You obviously have never played blight.

    Maybe you should try learning how to play against blight before calling for ludicrous nerfs liking capping his attack angle to 30 degrees. He has got a TON of counterplay. You just can’t mindlessly hold W against blight and survivors can’t stand it.

    *To OP, spirit is just as strong. I 4k with spirit at the same rate I 4K with blight. Her addons are just as strong, and her phase attack counts as an M1, that is a major difference.

    As Trapper main, nothing you can do to Blight that will make him equal to Trapper.

    I wasn’t being literal. But his idea of a “nerf” would turn blight into an M1 killer. He would be as ######### as people thought he was at release. Even worse.

    Because Billy moves at the exact same speed as him...? Sure, Billy needs to charge but he also insta-downs unlike Blight.

    I guess because Blight has to rush in a certain direction. Spirit can Phase Walk in any direction and also gets to be invisible. But yeah, the issue with these Killers is not their base movement speed, it's their add-ons.

    Tell me you don't know anything about blight without telling me you don't know anything about blight.

    J-flick is removed

    lag flick is removed

    Shoulder flick isn't a bug nor an exploit, it's intentional design

    180 isn't an exploit it's just pre turning super early and using his lack of collision during the attack phase of a lethal rush to turn that much. Any time you get hit by a max range 180 it's your fault as the survivor.

    So basically you are saying fix the hug tech which sure you can have that opinion but it won't happen. But you want to remove basic 90's? Are you ok?

    How can you complain about something you don't really know about and probably don't know how to play against?

    With all that, his pickrate would drop radically. He would become B-Tier without "Hug-Tech" and his Flicks.

    Addons? Yeah, Alchemist Ring is opressive, besides this Im not that bothered.

    Dont get me wrong: I would like to see all killers closer to each other for variety in the game.

    Who picks Twins, Freddy or Hag for over a year (besides me with Freddy xD)?
