About No Mither...

Hello everyone, I just made this account while the Nicolas Cage 7.1.0 PTB is up to give my feedback for once. I'm a veteran who started playing in 2017 and I have about 5k hours in game.

Today I want to talk about No Mither and right off the bat I know the developers want to keep this perk as a "hardmode" for Survivor.

This perk has been in the game for an eternity and while others see a big red flag in this perk (you maybe see it in one 1 out of 400 matches) I see missed out potential.

My issue with No Mither is that its not appealing enough to select this "hardcore mode" You basically downgrade yourself to one health state the entire match for nothing. There are to ways to choose from how you could fix this situation:

• Give a BP Bonus for choosing the perk, and the bonus needs to effect your overall bloodpoint score kind of like a Bonus BP Offering (I've always wanted the other BP perks do that too tbh.)

or

• Give the perk a healthy change while it still keeps the "hardcore mode" image

Now what do I consider to be a "healthy change"? Simple: It adds fun gameplay, is balanced, takes low effort for the Devs to implement and shadow buffs/nerfs other mechanics/perks in need

The Change for No Mither we need:

Just add this simple effect:

After safely unhooking a teammate, gain the Endurance Status Effect. The next hit you receive by any means puts you now into Deep Wound instead of the dying state. Endurance is not gained when you are already in Deep Wound when this effect activates. After you are put into the Dying State the effect will need to be recharged again by safely unhooking a teammate.

Now listen to all the possibilies and side effects with this change.

First of all, the perk is still a "hardcore mode" for Survivor. A stealth killer surprises you at the start of the game, you still die instantly. You get sniped by Huntress with Lethal Pursuer, you die instantly. If you get chased by a good killer player in the beginning of the match you will still die most likely very quickly.

On the other hand you are experiencing the high reward of surviving Insta-Down attacks like Myers T3 or both chainsaws (Cannibal and Hillbilly)

Positive Side Effects:

Perks like Resilience and This is not Happening are shadow buffed.

Perks like Thanatophobia and Blood Echo are shadow buffed.

Stealth (Low Tier) Killers are shadow buffed, but ONLY against Good Players who will most likely run this perk because they are not afraid of the injured health state which is highly needed.

Survivors will try to get the first unhook if possible and therefore linger around the downed teammate so perks like Infectious Fright and Awakened Awareness are shadow buffed.

Issues:

Plot Twist and No mither = Corrupt Intervention Cancel

Corrupt needs to go away only after someone is put into the Dying State by an Enemy (not Plot Twist and future perks)

Made for this Nerf is heavily required. It's still required without this change though.

I've had this idea literally for months now, though I had no idea how I could actually get this to the Developers. I hope you see this. I deeply care for your game and it will always have a place in my heart.
