How am I supposed to slow down gens as killer now?

Run lethal pursuer to get a fast first down and establish where you're going after that first down. Lethal pursuer can effectively stop 3 survivors for the first few minutes of a game and often get you 2-3 hooks in that time.

You'll also establish who the weak links are and who is the strongest survivor in the team. Focus the 2 weakest links and leave the strong survivors until later in the game.

I honestly don't know why more people don't run lethal pursuer. You can run it on like 80% of killers and stack lots of pressure straight off the bat, which is basically what you need to do as a killer. I barely even ran stacked regression perks pre nerf state so it's not a big deal for me. I rarely even kick gens these days unless I'm using nowhere to hide, which is another underrated perks that works well with lethal pursuer.

Most players on this forum and elsewhere are not high MMR killers. They are not even high MMR survivors so... they have no clue of the real state of the game.

With a killer tier A or lower, it is impossible to catch a high skilled survivor in 30 seconds. The first 2 or 3 chases will always last between 1 minute to 2 minutes. That is not a lack of skill or being outplayed by the survivor, it is just due to the game/map design.

Take an average survivor that knows when to loop and when to hold W + that know how to go from one loop to another without using the pallets straight away and then predrop the pallets each 20 seconds... with a M1 killer you will need more than 2 minutes to catch this survivor.

It is exactly it. 4 good survivors vs 1 good killer that do not play Nurse/Blight/Oni/Artist is an automatic loss for the killer IF the survivors sit on gens and have the META perks equipped.

2700 hours do not mean anything.

Do you even know what a checkspot is ? If you would, you would know that some jungle gym are unwinnable for non tier S killers. But yes, most survivors do not know about them at all.

Show us how you win 20 games in a row with, for exemple, Wesker or Clown, without camping and tunneling (and no broken addons). Just record it and show us, i'm curious to see your skill :)

You won't ever see that, they always bring addons because they know what the truth is.

Pop, pain res, dead mans, eruption, jolt. These aren't bad perks for actual slowdown.

Try discordance, tinkerer, gearhead, thrilling tremors for info to apply immediate, deliberate pressure to gens being worked on.

Builds for days bud, have some fun and play around with it

This. And it is baffling that people dont understand it (or dont want to understand it).

The Devs mainly nerfed 3-Gens (which are still possible btw). Because the main playstyle in a 3-Gen was - hit the Survivor, they need to run away. Kick the Gen with Overcharge/Call of Brine. Survivors needs to heal, Gen regresses quite a bit. Repeat. And with healing nerfed (which is 100% the case, even if they backed down on the altruistic healing), it would mean even more Regression if they would not have touched Call of Brine and Overcharge.

And it is not like there are no Slowdown-Options anymore. Both for Gens and for healing there are still more than decent Slowdown-Options.

Last but not least - the best way to create slowdown is to be actually good at the game. And currently we see a lot of Killer players who got carried by Slowdown way too much and who need to adapt or lose some MMR.

Equip Knock Out, once you start your match go towards gens opposite to your position. Slug the first person that you find if possible. If it's not a team of swfs you just bought yourself some time to scatter rest of them like cats.

I have very little experience, but slowdown perks was never my main build so i dont know what should be used now to slowdown. My slowdown was to hook someone. Even if survs did 3gens while i was chasing first guy, after first hook (in most cases) things are going smoothier. There is less gens to patroll, survs have additional objectives of unhooking, healing etc. Nurse calling, thanathophobia was always my main "slowdown" perks, after first hook, suddenly all survs are visible, and ready to be hooked.

Hmm... no, nowhere to hide is there to stop Genrushing.

Well nerf them obviously

Yes. Though you take it out of proportion by a lot. Massive blunders throughout the game by all 4 survivors is not necessary to win, that's just a slaughter. Sometimes it takes just a few small mistakes to turn a tight match around with the snowball, sometimes it takes more, specially during late or end game if the survivors have been efficient.

But the truth of it is that it's the early game when mistakes matter more. Get a hook or 2 and a few injuries by Gen 4 or 3.5 and you might be able to keep the pressure throughout the match and have a good game for everyone.

However, the fact is that competent survivors will not go down on a map full of resources. It's no longer a secret how to run each tile and stay safe during extended chases by chaining tiles together. The only way for it to happen is.... You guessed it, the survivor made a mistake and went down. Of course the killer also needs to capitalize on the mistake, otherwise it won't do a thing, but no amount of killer proficiency is going to make up for perfect survivor gameplay.

Again, certain killers can subvert this dynamic, such as nurse and blight. Spirit to an extent.

So, yes, weaker killers depend on survivor mistakes in order to have a chance to win. Without those mistakes you will find these killers have little agency on the outcome of the match.

Though somehow I doubt you will really give consideration to my words. Didn't strike me as the reflective type.
