M1 Killers Have Nothing Left

Hey guys, is this the post where we humble-brag about how high our MMR is?

No, you can't. Not with most killers. Out of 30 killers at least 20 are completely useless. Sure, there are some people who own exactly 1 videogame and they'll still do well because it is all they ever do but for us mere mortals, a bit of help would be nice. Sure, I can tank my MMR and get back to noobie territory and wreck havoc but tell me exactly why I, as a paying customer, have to accept that everything BHVR does boils down to nerfing the stuff that I like to play with. Because I have no reason to accept that and as such I dont accept it.

And furthermore, why aren't they dealing with actual problem perks like Prove Thyself and Dead Hard. If anything needs needs to be beaten into oblivion with the nerf stick then it would be those two. But do they actually do something with the endless complaints?

Nope, they went: "Yes, everyone and their mother is complaining about DH and the gen rush meta but you know what we should actually do? We need to boost survivors even more. We have given them base kits and HUD that in any other game would be considered straight up cheats but what is needed is that killers have even more pallets thrown at their faces despite every single god damn map in this game is absolutely littered with them. This will be very nice as survivors have already got map choice which we all perfectly well know they shouldnt have in any way, shape or form and now they will be able to essentially perma-stun a killer on it. No more being careful with using a pallet, you can just do it forever and ever and ever. No consequences at all. Yes this will make for great gameplay".

BHVR = Incompetence central.

Eruption was never good for M1 killers. You wasted too much time kicking gens.

Run Jolt and Thrilling instead.

I almost exclusively play M1 killers and I never used Eruption.

Since when have m1 killers had time to kick gens

Got no arguments huh scrub

nah survivors only complain about Eruption because they have skill issues

Skill Issue = they arent in 4 man SWF on comms

Eruption did nothing vs SWF

I've used Oppression before. Found it surprisingly handy when you're down to 1-2 gens since one Oppression potentially hits them all

If anything, after watching a video on strong Killer builds I came to the conclusion that Eruption is actually better for M2 killers, because it encourages going for downs with their power, vs going for the M1 for a Jolt proc.

It's also why I was confused about an earlier post from the OP...

...because it seems to me that Jolt is the ideal perk for an M1 killer, especially now the cooldown is gone, since it turns every single down into a potential proc.

The question I've been stuck on with the complaints I've seen about the Eruption is what are people actually upset about with it?

Everyone is talking about the regression, which I honestly agree is an overnerf and, assuming they keep it at % of current progress might benefit from a buff from 10%, though probably not to Pop's 25% since Eruption is much easier to set up and trigger.

That said, my understanding was that, useful as the regression was, the big strength of the perk was the 30 sec Incapacitation. A part of me constantly wonders how many people are talking about the regression when the real issue is losing that.

Plenty of others are mentioning them, one more or less isnt going to matter, like mentioning anything at all that would be beneficial to killers doesnt matter as BHVR is far too busy sucking survivor dick to actual problems with the game...

Before eruption m1 killers had pop/pain res combo. The devs nerfed that combo which led to these killers moving over to eruption.

Can we stop calling it M1? Some of us work and can afford a console you know.

And it's just one perk you can make a lot of good builds without it. If you only play to win then why would you use any other killer than Nurse? So I would guess you do play for fun also since using these weaker killers.

The game feel faster now why?

Because before we have corrupt to slow down in early game. And Survivor have to use one slot for borrow time, not borrow time is the base, they move to prove thyself. 46 sec 1 gens equal to 1 down or so.

In paper, 4 survivors will finish all gens before the killer finish all pallets on the map. :)

Oh yeah, not to mention you need to have a slow ass animation of picking up and get survivor onto a hook.

Now with HUD, the rush meta begins. You will barely have time.

I assure you this is genuinely not an issue lol balance changes happen all the time. Eruption needed a change and its not like theres a shortage of viable slowdown perks. Its not some huge catastrophe where all balance is ruined due to the nerfing of one perk

Playing characters like Sadako and Trapper is super painful. For 2 reasons, 1: it's way too easy to counter their powers if you're even somewhat observant. 2: with how strong movespeed perks like Lithe and Sprint Burst are, chasing people just takes forever, and you're often forced into a hit and run tactic or forced to hard tunnel 1-2 people and just ignore the others because it's so hard to catch people.
