Killswitch Nurse and Blight for chill holidays?

It would be really nice to be able to play the game without facing these obnoxiously OP killers. Or at least disable the DC penalty against these 2 for the holidays?

We've suffered enough, please let us just have chill games. <3

    I know but, it's the season of giving. Could we just enjoy the winter holiday and throw snowballs, without having to face a giga-unstoppable killer? 😪 Facing no killer should require 89234728373298 amount of effort and luck.

    Yeah, it's the season of giving, so let's take nurse and blight from the people who enjoy playing as and against them.

    No

    I have proposed a 2nd solution too though: removing DC penalties against these 2. Most players are not comp and don't know all the best strats against the Nurse. If they face a Nurse that they cannot loop for more than 10 seconds, what do you think they will do?

    Either DC (which does leave a bot behind, but the penalty makes this an unwanted option), or give up on hook (no penalty yay, but there is no bot left behind either, to help the teammates).

    With DC penalties off (at least for Nurse/Blight), people who can't do anything against them (if the Nurse/Blight is really good and downs in 10 seconds) can just go next and not feel too frustrated. The teammates left will still have bots to help them, AND people who do enjoy versing really good Nurses and Blights and are prepped with training and knowledge can stay and loop them.

    Doesn't that sound like a really good idea? A scenario where everyone wins. Giving up on hook ruins things for everyone. DC-ing with no penalties would make everything better for everyone now that we have bots. (I am not! encouraging DC-ing, just saying what people already tend to do a lot). No DC penalties would make more people leave behind a bot (helpful to the team!), vs giving up on hook that leaves no help behind. That's what I'm talking about.

    I like to play as and against Nurse, and playing as, im more chill that lot of huntress i encounter during event... So i should ask to disable huntress? So mayble lets disable all killers since there is at least one person who dislike certain killer. Why those people have to play against trapper, Wraith, Nemesis and other?

    And what about killer players who play those killers but are having chill fun, throw snowskulls etc.

    What about those chill players when survs are sweaty genrushers who do not want to participate in event?

    And last - why everyone have to chill and play? Why one deny certain players playing sweaty and for victory?

    And then I’m stuck getting to only play against bots? Yea that’s fantastic idea!

    Against a Huntress or a Nemesis, you can keep predropping pallets, use vaults, and the chase could last up to 2 minutes. Try that against a good Nurse. You'll go down in 10 seconds regardless. That is the difference. While just predropping and wasting resources too fast isn't a good way to play, you still have a way of lasting in chase. Against a Nurse, you don't even have that option. Your only option is her being bad. And that's too much luck involved and not fun at all.

    I mean, if your opponents can loop you for more than 10 seconds, and you don't go out of your way to tunnel someone out at 4-5 gens left, I see no reason why someone should leave the match. However, if you are much better than them and/or bring 2-3 slowdowns, and/or tunnel someone out of the game at 4-5 gens left, then it would be nice for the person to have an easy option to escape the hell. (I've faced Blights and Nurses like that and it's awful)

    I'm sure it's such an adrenaline/dopamine rush for a Nurse or Blight to obliterate the whole team in less than 5 minutes, because the skill level is vastly different. But it's a miserable hell for the suvivors. And yeah, bad MMR is responsible for that.

    I wish that the MMR was made better, so we wouldn't have these problems. I sometimes as survivor go against killers much stronger than me, and sometimes killers quite weaker than me. Both of these scenarios feel bad.

    That is not the point.

    And no. Try to do such things against good huntress and you will be downed at first pallet or just right the trial started.

    And if you ae not talking about good Huntress, then you should not compare it to good Nurse. Against avarage Nurse you dont need to pre-drop, just be unpredictable, and use multiple floors for your advantage. I have made one Nurse to dc in The Game.

    But as I sait - that is NOT the point.

    The point is that every player have things they like and things they dislikes. One dislike Nurse, one dislike Huntress and one dislike cowards that dc the moment they hear Nurse blink scream. Should we ban all killers?

    Something interesting happened. Yesterday I faced 2 Blights who were on my level, and I had fun. One of them even let me live, despite me head-on-ing him a couple of times. xD

    And today I faced a Nurse which was good, but also near my level. She got a 4K, but my solo Q teammates were suprisingly good, and I managed to get a Head On save on a teammate while she was carrying them.

    I feel like Santa has brought me some Christmas gifts xD ☺️
