coh gains too much time, even the time spent extinguishing the totem is beneficial for the survivors as the killer spends more time than the survivor
and we also know that the quick heal completely killed hit and run, thus making camping and tunneling more preferable
I would do this: "coh gives +50 healing speed (does not give self-healing) base healing speed reduced by 10%
+ while the survivor is injured they interact 10% slower"
so coh will still be useful for heal builds, but won't be as overpowered
well, since the base healing rate has slow, we a little buff self care

If medkits and CoH were to be nerfed, it would have to come with significant nerfs to Killer perks, add-ons, and powers that debuff Survivors. It's always a sweaty, unfun match when a Killer stacks status effects. You have a ton of casual players simply bringing a brown medkit to ensure one heal in Solo. You're going to push those players out if you keep Sloppy and Franklin's and whatever add-ons as they are while nerfing medkits. The medkit discussion seems to just go one way on the forum.

Medkits can be a problem and need a tweak. On their own and solo queue I don't have a problem, but when they're really good medkits (with solid add-ons) and used in tandom with a SWF they become problematic. Especially so if multiple ones brought and unless the Killer brings Franklin's or the ability to inflict the Broken Status IE: PLague, Legion with add-ons and certain Perks, it becomes a huge hassle, as you can't leave folks alone and spread the damage, or break off chases as they'll heal up.
Perks are fine imo, I use Healing/Support builds when I play Survivor and play solo queue, as well as teamed up with my GF and it's saved our bacon a few times....but have been countered or outplayed and as vastly more limited than bringing good Medkits into the match. Perks have requirements, Boons can be snuffed, take time to set-up & reapply is stomped out. Not to mention Killers can exploit the fact Survivors keep going back to the same Boon areas and catch em in the middle of a heal.f

Healing has always been an issue, not Medkits, not CoH. All they do is exaggerate the main issue.
What needs to happen to healing is make it more of a threat to be injured multiple times in a row. What Id do is increase the amount of charges required to heal each time your injured. So first would be 16, then 17, then 18, etc. And it would cap at 20. There scrapped feature of Survivors becoming more bloody the more theyve been hit could also make a return to show how much they've been hit.
This way it punishes Survivors more for constantly healing over and over, and also makes medkits (which is the strongest item that can be brought in for how cheap they are) a bit weaker.
