So, how long have people been telling bhvr to nerf blight?

Im just curious about blight changes since the patch 5.0.0. And never heard any changes since then, and i’m still seeing people telling bhvr to nerf blight

    Since his release. He didn't get a single nerf but they even buffed his addons. You can't make this up. 😂

    Honestly I almost think the camera reversion to crotch height would fix enough of the problems (relative strength and bugs) that it would be worth it without otherwise touching up his basekit. His add-ons are a sick joke though. In what just world is Demo's Iri add-on touched before ANY of Blight's busted retinue.

    I heard the excuse that some of Blight's add-ons might need deeper changes than simple number tweaks, but simple number tweaks or commenting out effects can be done to many of them. Adren Vial speed removed, token recovery boost nerfed to .5s from 1s. Rat/Crow, only provides the current stacking speed as a flat boost to rush speeds (copy the code from current Adren Vial, drop numbers to 6/4%). C33 delete the pallet break line of code or (to bring a larger nerf hammer to Blight in general), unlock the current basekit pallet break with the add-on, and remove the basekit pallet break. Sadly, yes, this means no simple fix for Alch Ring, but they could swap it and the nerfed C33 in terms of rarity to keep it from showing up too much in Bloodwebs.

    Blight is too fast to be hit by nerfs apparently.

    I hope next mid chapter like, it has to come.

    Using Iri Tag, Vial, C21, Crow, Rat, C33, Ring takes as much skill as old insta saw billy (none)

    I didn't really pay attention to his addons at launch so I was kind of oblivious for a while.

    Then at some point Mclean was playing Blight on his stream and got his wife to pick the addons.

    She chose Alc Ring (because it looked like a wedding ring) and he laughed quite loudly at his excellent luck.

    So I looked up what it did and quickly realised how busted it was.

    Then I looked into his other addons and noticed that like half of them are absurdly strong compared to most other killers.

    So since at least two years ago, for me at least.

    I don't remember it being like that at all. I think most people knew he was going to be really good as soon as all his bugs got fixed. I don't know who would look at a killer with the second best mobility in the game and say he was garbage.

    Blight is running away from nerfs with Vial+Crow.

    Blight needs addon nerf. The other issues are "techs" that can blights do, such as "hug tech". My solution is just reporting people that use "hug tech" for exploiting and glitching the game, using bugs, etc... This character doesnt respect map layout and getting andvatages by only moving your camera up and down doesn't sound like "base kit" of killer. Other issue is, that you can high your mouse sensitivity, this eliminates 2 of his addon from the game.

    I dont respect people who use these things, because main idea of the killer was slamming from wall to wall, but actually it is just slamming the wall and then "licking" of other walls.

    When he came out it didn't last long tho, it was mostly when he was on PTB since his collision was even wonkier than it is now

    I had been asking since 2019 for them to nerf Billy and it finally happened in 2020 patch 4.1.0 it only took a year! Not to mention at that time one of the most downvoted posts I ever had lol before they removed the down vote button!

    ^ this.

    Blight was only considered bad on PTB because PTB had an old version of him. And even then some players saw that he has potential.

    Because he was broken on the PTB and he was garbage.

    Regardless, as soon as he came out, people knew those add-ons would be an issue. Over the years, other add-ons have become issues as well.

    My point being, it took a bit of time for people to start picking him up. There were very few people who main’d blight from release, myself included.

    They are balancing the game around average players. Thus, blight is fine. It's what everyone seems to want for some reason.

    Actually, there were TWO addons that was completely busted that got nerfed early on: C21 and Soul Chemical. The former used to have double the duration and range that made it used by everyone.

    After this nothing was really touched. I think C21 was just blatantly busted for a green addon at the time and was remedied quickly, but the rest had yet to prove their worth since there was such a vast selection of good stuff to use.

    Soul chemical gave free aura reading to anyone 8 meters from you while rushing.

    After that? Nada.

    If hug tech is removed, that would be the most best thing Blight received. You know why? Hug tech is based on slippery objects, if behavior remove hug tech, thats gonna also mean that no more slippery object. No more slippery objects? Then we can play him easily without fearing that we wouldn't get bump into objects. Hug tech is not a bug, it's a skill that needs time to master. And in my Blight experience, some players know how to counter it since hug tech usually make Blight have to look down and face into the object, so he wouldnt see much, thats when survivors start to run out of the loop, or change their location to avoid hug wall.

    Hug tech is literally confirmed to be a bug.

    You can say it shouldn't be removed, but it is factually a bug.

    Because momo tunneled off hook and basically camped?

    You're not thinking about how he got the wins though...

    literally tunneled off the hook every hook to get a 3v1 so like..
