Making survivors exposed based on bloodlust?

counterpoint: this should be base. If your 4-man SWF's pro runner is kiting me while the rest of you pop 3 gens, then I should at least get the satisfaction of downing him in one hit once I finally catch him.

And before anyone says "JuST stop ChAsING HIm aNd gO PaRTrol gENs", I'll point out that breaking off the chase to hoof it over to the gens on the other side of the map from where he's kited me to (with a big chance of randomly choosing a gen without any survivors on it) is a terrible move, AND he'll follow me to know exactly where I'm going, and tell his teammates on comms so they can all move to a different gen.

BVHR is going figure out why bloodlust is terrible mechanic because what happen on many maps is that bloodlusting is completely useless. Like Just look at Gideon's meat packing plant. you can give me exposed on an m1 killer like trapper and it won't change how broken the pallets on that map are. the pallets are so safe that they're bloodlust 3 infinities. Like, you cannot bloodlust those pallets.

On flip-side, weaker pallets will just be an instant down because killer won't down you. they'll just purposely bloodlust 2 you then down you because loop is so unsafe that the killer can down you whenever they want to down you making those loops pointless. an example is Badham car loops that spawn just outside school on front and right side.

Bloodlust as mechanic unequally punishes unsafe loops but does nothing to towards safe loops. It is not good mechanic. What killer needs is ABILITY to get hits on every loop by winning 50/50's on pallet slides/pallet bluffs. Currently, your odds of getting hits against good survivor is close to zero on like 70% of the loops and you get nearly guaranteed hits on weaker loops because even if you fail 50/50's, you will eventually win loop just by bloodlust itself regardless of how bad you play.

This is why what they need to do with pallets in this game is following:

1) Increase killer lunge distance so that more pallets are possible to win 50/50 mindgames. I recommend 50% though numbers can vary.

2) Decrease size of long-walls on loops that are too long for killer to do 50/50 mindgame on( E.G long-wall single pallet tile and the classic jungle gym long-walls need to be shorten)

3) They need invent a new type of pallet in the game called Light-wood pallet. This pallet has 50% less durability then normal pallet. It breaks 50% faster. This pallet should be used in places where the pallet blocks the killer from advancing forward. An example where this pallet be used is Shack pallet. Its impossible mindgame the pallet and its force break which is bad design since the killer is in a lose/lose. If they break pallet, the survivor gets massive shift-w distance that wastes killer time which translate into poor gen pressure. If they do not break pallet then m1 killer physically cannot down the survivor. So pallet like Badham school, The garden of joy main building right side pallet and a bunch of Gideon's pallets that block your way would be turned into Light-wood pallets. While these pallet would still be detrimental to the killer, they will not waste as much time as normal pallet breaks.

Beast of prey is OK imo just because of the extra hunting BP score event

Yes I know you're all going to argue against this "because it has no impact on actual gameplay" but this is just MY opinion

I know, that's what makes it balanced and niche

Helps you max it out faster so you don't have to drag out games as long, using it in conjunction with thrill of the hunt doubles the rate you fill it

Nobody uses it because of what you said but like all niche perks, it can help in a specific thing you want to achieve, and in this case is maximizing your BP

The truth is, that getting bloodlust is not difficult and all you need is not break a pallet or use ability (something u can do w all killers but nurse and scratch meyers) + it takes much shorter then 3gens.

What we will see during event are killers not hitting survivors and just trailing behind them waiting for bloodlust for very very quick chases.

I really wonder what queue times will be, but I am sure it won't be nice. Spawn of droppable pallet will by far not make up to it (even considering how strong that thing is).

You are comparing 2 unrelated things. Compare temporaty things to temporary ones (changes from event to other event things).

Or compare proposed permanent changes for both sides. And I know killers again won that one, because "balance of maps for both sides" seems to adress only survivor favoring maps while leaving midwitch, current RPDs, saloon, wretched shop, wreckes yard, ..... Untouched. Which is much more balance-wise as removing facecamping (and keeping proxy camps into tunnel - btw proxy-into-tunnel was already stronger thing). Not to mention devs willingness to do anything about by far weakest role in the game - soloQ.

Also - after minimal noise for heartbeat change (basically fix for sadako) - if you are healthy, then "visible heartbeat" provides exactly 0 benefit (but I admit, that it is nice looking). However higher FoV provides substantial benefits against different FoV techs, 360's and dodging killer powers (most importantly visible on blight and oni). This would be general killer buff - same as basekit DS (something survivors propose) can't ever be called QOL change against tunneling for exactly the same reasons.
