Regarding Blight’s Hug Tech

I think Blight needs a full code rework in order to fix his collision issues (just like how Nurse needed a full code rework to fix her blinking glitches).

BHVR tried for months to fix Blight's short object collision bugs, but failed. They created a secondary collision detection mechanic to fix the short object collision bug, but this never worked correctly, and it created the M2 bug. And hug tech happened when they fixed the M2 bug. So to summarize, for years Blight had a bugged short object collision, a bugged secondary collision detection, and a bugged hug tech. There is clearly major issues with Blight's code, that aren't easily fixable.

They don't like to run their teams into the ground, but they do a great deal of work on the game.

Things like Hug Tech while survivors may see it as a big issue that needs to be handled immediately, in reality it isn't actually that high of a priority. Not every Blight can do the tech nor does it actually inflate Blight's stats to some insane degree. Also, it might not be something that is a super simple fix as people on the forum like to frame it. This game is quite old and it's code is more akin to linguini than computer code so it isn't uncommon for a fix to be a bit more complicated.

Yes but hillbilly really needed skybilly patched first and then they needed to nerf him. Priorities

I know that easily. I'm just saying there is no way to nerf the highest end of survivor without making players who don't put in the time hate the game. You can't take away all the competing killers by extention.

Except they do. There have been tournaments with very little limitations where Artist, Wesker and Oni WON against some of the best teams in the WORLD.

Actually, in the case of Artist, she was the one that was limited in terms of perks for a brief period. Pain Resonance and DMS were so oppressive on her in competitive that the combination was banned.

I don't understand why people bring up the 'competitive' argument when they have no idea how it even works. The killers you mentioned are viable even without many/any restrictions.

I kind of have to agree with the personal cope thing said earlier. It feels like people's shortcomings are being projected in a skill level they definitely do not have to feel better. It leads to a lot of misinformation and resentment.

EDIT: My opinion on the topic. Blight is likely untouched due to biases in development. Less so because the devs are 'mains' than probably because the dev that led this character's creation has since left the company and was widely respected. There's a good chance there's a lack of desire to change what was left. Although I'm 100% convinced there is seedy bias among decision makers since some killers get disproportionate buffs/nerfs compared to others.

I would largely disagree that the power isn't usable at every loop. The value may be lessened at some, but not downright unusable. Especially since Blight can break pallets with his power, and recharge the power even during the pallet break (limiting the effectiveness of 'hold-w'). Even then, there is nothing wrong with a Killer not using their power for the hit, or using their power to get an easier M1 instead. The majority of pallets that I've seen hug tech used on are unsafe pallets to begin with, so I don't understand how this would be necessary to begin with, given the bloodlust claim. Also I don't necessarily agree with a pallet not being hittable in and of itself is bad design, given that they are limited resources (Other than Borgo/Garden of Pain feeling unlimited, but those are mostly unsafe anyways). Once a pallet is destroyed, its gone forever, so someone else going to shack for its pallet just gave you a free hit you otherwise wouldn't have gotten. It seems like many people only have the micro of a single chase in their thought processes, and not the macro of total map resources (pallets, gens, hook stages, etc.) as well.

Again, 1 Killer shouldn't be able to bruteforce their power in every scenario, especially when they can use M1 framework for hits like the majority of the cast. It is good for Killers to be better and worse at different areas. It is good there are stealth Killers, it is good there are mobility Killers, and it is good there are Ranged Killers. Each have their strengths and weaknesses, and none should be without any weaknesses. If that Maze tile on Ormond/Yamaoka was so unplayable as Blight, I would expect afks and/or DCs in frustration if that truly were the case. Instead the only DCs in my Blight matches (as Surv) are sadly my fellow Survivors more often than not.

Efficient comp teams shouldn't even be considered for balance seeing as there isn't a ranked mode and everyone queues up together. No team should be able to queue up and wax every lobby they get until they happen to find a top 1% nurse or blight. That's also not balanced.

That do any really have anything to do with the killer itself. I've seen people go on 200+ winstreaks while playing basic m1 killers like trapper. It's the players themselves who are so good that they can get these winstreaks. Now, am I saying that it would be easier to get a 500 winstreak as trapper rather than nurse/blight? No, however just because someone can get high win counts on a specific killer doesn't make the killer overpowered.

Well the guy who primarily worked on him left bhvr and afaik he was the ONLY guy that worked on blight. After he left we got current adren vial so...

Asking is pointless, because no BHVR employee will give you an update on this exploit that should be bannable.

C33, Tag, Ring, Vial, Crow, Rat all of them need nerfs not just ring.

" no justification " Double speed is so balanced that this streamer got 1000 wins in row with it.

But I know I can't take someone seriously that loves to exploit bugs and has it in name, surprised the mods still did not change your name.

Vial + Crow is even stronger than this. :)

It is an exploit, just because you said it isn't, because you rely on it that much, doesn't mean it isn't one.

This is not part of Blights basekit and never will be.

Keep dreaming or should I say exploiting bugs like a kid.
