Windows of Opportunity was shadow nerfed, no mention in current patch notes.

Sheeeesh, That's a huge change to just not mention

Never going to listen to another killer complaining about their perks being nerfed when something like Windows gets nerfed LMAO

Imagine nerfing this noob perk instead MFT

I'm actually losing it

It's ok dude, you're going to win so many more matches now that this perk has been nerfed /s

This is exactly the kind of attitude that prevents meaningful and constructive discussions from taking place on these forums.

It’s a shame that so many people seem preoccupied waging the us vs them wars and the “who has it worse” Olympics.

I’m not saying I agree with the nerf, but people providing reasoned arguments as to why a perk should or shouldn’t be changed is the very definition of constructive discussion.

Going into threads with the mentality of “Well this survivor perk got nerfed so I’m not going to listen to anything killer players have to say.” is not constructive discussion. All it does is raise tensions and lead to hostility.

Can we stop with this? After 7 years, it’s getting incredibly tiring…

The vast majority of updates bring nerfs and buffs to both sides. It seems you’re conveniently leaving out the fact Knight and Demogorgon had some of their best add-ons nerfed this patch too.

The thing that isn’t a good look is people selectively picking out the patch notes to make it seem like their preferred role is marginalised and treated unfairly every update.

Windows gets nerfed out of nowhere while MFT and Blight's addons are still untouched. Nice.

It's widely used because it's useful to the large majority of players. The dreaded demon SWF that people claim to play against every match can literally call out where pallets have been dropped in seconds. Solo players don't have a clue about any of this. This is nothing but a nerf to solo queue and will do very little harm to good SWFs.

You think WoO is only used by people that don't know maps? I have about 2.3k hours and I still use it. It allows me to turn my brain off and play on auto pilot. This is what I was referring to when I said it plays the game for you. You don't need to remember lay outs, tile logic, dropped pallets or anything else because WoO does that for you.

There is a huge difference between a survivor that runs WoO and a survivor that doesn't. Mainly that the latter will be way easier to catch (as long as they aren't very good, in which case that is how it should be). Someone with less than 50 hours can delay the killer for quite a bit when they use this perk. They won't loop, they will just keep on holding Shift + W and pre drop half the pallets on the map. All while their team mates finish the gens. And in the time it takes the killer to get rid of all these pallets they probably lose the game.

This wouldn't be as much of an issue, if maps weren't completely broken but since that is not going to change I see little reason why survivors need a perk that removes any effort that goes into chasing. Even if they did nerf it the way it says in the description I'd still use it. But I'd probably have to play around some tiles, which can only be a good thing. On the one hand it's more pallet efficient and on the other it no longer makes chasing as a survivor brain dead.

I don't get what you mean with the whole STBFL thing. It doesn't play the game for you. It only forces the survivor to play around the next loop they can get to instead of running across the whole map before the second part of the chase actually begins. The killer still needs to get into position to hit you.

It's the old wording of the perk. Probably just a merge issue with the main branch and the alien development branch of the game overwriting the perk description.
