Nerf Adrenaline and Windows of Opportunity

Eh, windows is fine and there's a killer version of it. You cant complain about survivors using a perk slot on it when you can just as easily run zanshin. As the killer, you know every time you break a pallet...survivors that aren't in a SWF don't.

>NOED is useless nowadays and you can't counter multiple adrenalines with it (the Hex will be cleansed before your next down), and Terminus is just another useless meme perk because the gates can be insta opened in the next 20 seconds after the last generator is done.

Also as a terminus lover, I have to say that you're dead-wrong.

Bring no way out and play a killer who can get multiple people injured like Wesker and it's fantastic. Survivors often won't stick around if they get the gates open in that case because they're afraid of blood warden. NOED is also usually a free kill, if you can hook a survivor somewhat near the NOED it's impossible to save.

indeed every killer enjoys weak links. easy wins.

As a new player killer main who sees a lot of Windows of Opportunity at low level, and runs it myself on survivor, I see no problem with this perk.

I think youre not giving credit where it is due to the survivors you're facing. A bad survivor is a bad survivor. WoO on low level players usually means they're looking for windows and pallets, instead of looking at me the killer.

Having low level survivors path reasonably well means I have to learn to mind game, and baiting out Window hops/Pallet drops is an important skill that I get some satisfying success with, and also keep needing to improve. It's much more fun this way than having someone run blindly into a dead zone and I just slowly walk them to death....

It also means if I go against a SWF the difference of play level isn't so brutally different in loop strength... and tbh if all your solos are running Sprint Burst, WoO, Adrenaline, then that leaves 1 perk where they will have to choose between Off the Record, Borrowed Time, Kindred, Reassurance, Prove Thyself, or whatever else you want from a survivor build...

Adrenaline really isn't that high-risk. Popping all the gens is something one can expect to happen in over 50% of all matches, and the payoff doesn't really match the risk. A game where Adrenaline doesn't come into play is a game that you likely weren't going to win anyway, which is why it's the #2 Survivor perk.

Putting Unbreakable on your build, by contrast, is a high risk; the Killer might not slug at all in some matches, and even if they do, the odds aren't great that they're going to slug you specifically, AND that using your Unbreakable will be the optimal play when that happens.

That wouldn't bother me all that much, but the bigger issue with Adrenaline is that it punishes spreading pressure, and rewards tunneling. If you spread hooks, if you play hit-and-run, if you adopt any sort of playstyle that isn't tunneling people out of the game as fast as possible, you are putting yourself in a position to be absolutely demolished by Adrenaline's auto-healing.

What has anything I said have to do with Unbreakable? Yes, there are many high-risk/high-reward perks. The discussion here is about Adrenaline. The risk is you might not use it at all and waste a perk slot, or die before all gens pop, or you use it.

Also, I'll never understand the logic behind hit-and-run, unless the survivor is looping you for too long you should stick to the chase down/hook them. Adrenaline is the opposite excuse of tunneling, Why would you tunnel someone off hook instead of the unhooker? At that point the unhooked survivor has already used adrenaline and is fine + has a speed boost, their unhooker doesn't.

All of those perks are completely balanced. Adrenaline is so conditional and rewards good play. It sounds like you want to win more easy.
