Sable Ward's basement perk can't go live

A whopping 15 gen charges on the remaining gens at the cost of 120 seconds in the basement, a benefit that is completely undone by a killer using Ruin. That time would be much better spent just working on a gen. As if that's not bad enough you get injured and broken status for the rest of the game . I mean it's comical how bad this is. The perk could be renamed "Throw the game in the basement" because if anyone uses it in solo queue they're benefitting the killer more than their team. Maybe the idea is to release terrible survivor perks that are dead on arrival so you don't have to worry about needing to nerf them later on.

    Probably they will make 16% on all gens and they will call it a day. This perk asking too much reqs for too little reward. It should work like BNP and then maybe it can be useful.

    I doubt they have much incentive to change it. Sable will sell very well based on looks alone. It'd be nice if they gave it a look over but I dunno

    I don't think it's going live like that. It's ineffective and beyond boring to use. There's no way it doesn't get tweaked somehow.

    Yeah, the BNP effect might make it worth the effort. I can imagine some memers running this with No Mither 😁

    Otherwise this perk is dead on arrival.

    "It's countered by Ruin" then just cleanse the Ruin first, my guy.

    I agree though that 15 charges is not enough to justify the time sink and downsides. Maybe if it was 20, or 25. I prefer the suggestion of it causing a global BNP more.

    Lmao its very good. Gives the killer another place to patrol, and lets you pop multiple gens at once without being there.

    Make it so it works like BNP (the charges stay there) and it'll be fine.

    That's it.
