They better not nerf blight

I love playing Blight with his less well known addons. So many of them are low key stronk as heck.

I don't want him to get the Hillbilly treatment at all since he's actually very enjoyable to go against personally. But I'd be lying to myself if I didn't think he's busted and has been busted for a long time in terms of strength vs every other killer besides Nurse. Some adjustments are def in order IMO.

Eh. Not once you start factoring in his slides and flicks, after which his power is less obvious where to play around. But hopefully MMR would at least counteract that with matchups against well-organized or knowledgeable survivors, mitigating that issue.

He just feels like he’s everywhere with rush spam and with little strength lost in loops, only amplified with addons.

If you just go about nerfing the Fatigue, which is quite literally a stun, it'll feel bad to play.

Honestly I’d take a look at nerfing the Token recharge rate a lot (like 10s recharge per Token), so that upon using 5 Tokens to cross the map for patrolling or tunneling, it’s not just 10s of downtime before you have your entire Power back. But I think Rush should be useable even without being at full Token Stacks.

Yeah Kinda basing it off of Ghosties Recharge. Given that like Ghostie, he can use his Power to get closer to Survivors (in this case through sheer speed, which also allows faster map traversal), in addition to being able to use his Power to get downs in loops where other Killers couldn't (whereas Ghostie is about Lethality through Exposed to get an immediate down).

Which he did get the recharge for shroud reduced to 24s, so taking into consideration that Blight can also use his Power for map Traversal, but also doesn't cause exposed necessitating it to be used in chase, might mean that 24s might also be a decent target instead of 50s, so maybe 5s each Token instead.

He should be but ideally not in a way that neuters him like overheat and i really doubt bhvr will do that. He should just be made 110%

I'm sure even with a majority thinking it's just his add-ons being problematic, he will get some unjustified base-kit nerfs.

Bugtech- You don't need to swing to activate the bug, which is the only way it could be remotely close to fair. To oversimplify you aim down and hit M2. The most common circumstance where bug tech is practically uncounterable is the cars found commonly in Springwood. Technically any short rectangular(ish) object can fit the profile of this lose-lose bug tech abuse that is surprisingly common to find. In rectangles say the killer faceslides on the East side from the South side and the Surv is waiting at the North side. If the Surv runs East, the Blight gets a hit without adjusting. If the Surv tries to run North away from car the Blight can turn with sharp enough angle to hit them, or bounce off of something the the background. If the Surv tries to run West to rotate around the car, the Blight can swing early if the Surv reacts too slow or lag exists, or get an extra bounce on something on the West side for the hit on the rebound. Forcing a swing to activate the bug would fix 2 of the 3 lose-lose scenarios to be a gamble for the Blight instead of a free hit.

Not a free win killer against decent Survs- Maybe you live somewhere, where everyone is 4-man SWF sweat squads whilst you are somehow playing soloq Surv also, but I assure you those are few and far between in my matches. Nearly all of my soloq Surv teammates either hook kobe (at some point) or die instantly in chase against Blights, making the match garbage and not worth the time to play.

75% WR - I'm saying I win as Blight more than 75% of my matches. By win I mean minimum 3k/dc (such as 2k+dc+hatch). Even if we were to take that in the lower extreme of only 3k wins (in 3/4 matches), and losses are 0ks (in 1/4 matches), that comes out to an average of (9/16) 56.25% kill rate. That is well within the averages, but even then that doesn't take into account that I am likely better than the average Blight, and Baby Blights are dragging down the kill rates. Even then you support my claim by stating "He is absolutely not a free win killer against decent survivors who understand how to counter him." I certainly rarely run into those type of groups. Maybe 10% of matches at the highest (Probably in the 2-5% to be more accurate). So that easily would still fit into my claim of a greater than 75% win rate. Even then, would you actually claim you go against god loopers in more than 25% of matches?

'Freewin' - I think most people misunderstand what I consider to be a free win if they disagree. A different way to phrase it is you can autopilot the Killer and win (3k+ like defined above) more than you lose. In a balanced game/matchmaking one would expect to roughly win as much as losing when actively trying, not merely autopiloting. If you sweat you can probably get a decent amount above 50%, try normally for hovering around 50%, and autopilot to win less than 50%. If you can autopilot a mechanic (Killer choice in this example) to mostly victories, it's likely busted OP. As I see it, people claiming you need 'skill' to play Blight (or Nurse for that matter) is like saying if you know how to drive a stick-shift vehicle you should get to drive that same equivalent vehicle 50% faster than everyone else. Knowing how to drive stick-shift is too small of a requirement for that big of a reward.

The issue with the counterability of bug tech is how you aren't forced to only utilize bug tech when playing, and it adds an extra tool in an already overloaded kit. Many uses of bug tech allow for falling back on normal bump logic, allowing for an enhanced double threat.

Blight's recovery doesn't start after pallet/wall break fatigue, which I specifically called out in my post ("...including after completing the break a pallet animation for Blight specifically."). I was saying both should work in the same general sense for all cases, not the pallet break escape clause Blight currently has. (Also I'm not sure, but I think the Iri add-on also recharges on pallet hit, not after the stun cooldown also.)

There are numerous reasons Blight (or other Killers for that matter) could or should be brought down to 4.4. Killers that have an easy time getting ranged or hyper-mobility power hits in the majority of cases should likely all be 4.4 (I don't count Pyramid Head or Nemmy Whip as properly ranged in this case, but Artist probably also deserves 4.4). Another reason could be S and D tier shouldn't exist in a tier list frame of mind, so all S tiers should be nerfed and all D tiers buffed. This is one way to nerf an S tier Killer without impacting his power usage, the point most people claim to have skill in.

Bugs few and far between - To be fair this is DBD, in every match there is likely 20 different bugs popping up at least once. What I am saying is the bugs that decide the game and make a clear win into a loss, or vice-versa, are ultra rare (at least in my games as Killer). Most bugs in my matches make the win be at 1 or 2 gens remaining instead of 2 or 3, or get a 3k instead of a 4k. Most instances of bugs don't change a win to a loss, merely a crushing victory to a normal win. Exceptions to every rule of course, but in general they don't really change the outcome, just the degree.

Blight should not be 4.6 speed imo, he should mostly get hits using his power. Also his tokens should take almost double the time to replenish + addon nerfs. It’s insane how many people give up at 5 gens in my matches when they see it’s a blight, these nerfs should make him less oppressive

Lol it's so unbelievably cringy when people make threats to play certain killers/perks.

Can't wait until Blight is nerfed :)
