Insta-Heals vs Insta-Downs

Insta heals for sure. Injuries are one of the most impactful things in dbd. They are what let you get downs to begin with. Dead hard already proved that an extra health state makes all the difference, and the ability to just get another (no timing required) is insane. You can easily extend the chase by a significant margin.

Insta downs, while powerful, are weaker than insta heals. If you are chasing an exposed survivor, you still need to m1 them. simple W gaming and good looping can keep it from getting value. Exposure is typically on a timer or very limited in its usage; while a heal doesnt just go away after some time. You dont really need to do much for an insta heal, simply throwing a bunch of pallets while the syringe ticks down can do the trick against most killers. And once its done the chase is extended by a LOT. Adrenalines a perfect example; even without the SB it would be a good perk. If you are exposed, the killer still needs to hit you. Something completely preventable. While a syringe can be prevented, its easier to outlast exposure/the syringe timer than it is to get a down within that time frame.
