WOULD LOVE SOME OPINIONS ABOUT A TOPIC (one-hit-down)

The support team has asked me to post my question on the forum so they could see other people's opinion about it...so i just copied the mail and pasted it here :


Hello again 😊

I know you guys always listen to player’s arguments, issues, and other…wich is being much appreciated!

So I was just wondering since I noticed more and more players (killers) are using certain perks/add-ons/… that makes the survivor go down after just one (1) hit.

I have no problem with the ‘one-hit-down’ as soon as the exit gates are or can be opened…it’s somewhat of evening the odds for the killer (1 vs 4), wich seems fair.

However, when ppl can use that the whole game long and are able to down you with just one hit, on top of using an OP-killer, that I find far from fair and to be honest completely unnecessary!

And it’s not an opinion coming from 1 point of view because i play survivor as wel as killer, so my opinion is neutral.

While for instance ‘milk-face’ or michael myers is way to OP and needs to be nerfed to be honest…not only having unique abilities and the fact that he moves insanely fast in tier 3 (yeah, that’s just ridiculus), you grant him also the option of downing with one hit….? Don’t you think that’s a bit to much of it. Everyone shares the same feeling about myers being to OP. I mean, where are the odds?

Players are already taking greedy abuse of CAMPING and other related BAD playstyles where they all get away with… You have to draw the line somewhere if you want it to have a certain level of "equal" etc… Maintain that players still have fun.

I had a game a couple days ago where the 4 survivors spawned together and were on their way to the generator when ‘a greedy killer used the one-hit-down, ran into us and DOWNED ALL 4 OF US WITH ONE HIT OR STRIKE -> this is an example of how f*ck*d up that can turn out. So i think that needs to be (re)evaluated again somewhere in the future. Not straight from the 1st second in the game being able to do so.

I love the game tho, as long as i don't encounter myers XD loool.

I hope at least some of you can understand and agree that what i’m telling is true…

Anyways thank you all for your time and effort, and have a nice day.

    As long as it's earned, counterable, or has a downside, then yeah I'm fine with them. Most broken insta down I'd say is Clowns add-on. Unlike Huntress you get a near limitless amount of them.

    Your first post and the support team doesn’t make an announcement or pole on Twitter for the community’s opinion in something that could’ve been asked during the PTB or Q&A session?


    Dunno bout that, Chief.

    The only OP insta-down is huntress iridescent head.

    You're right, Freddy is OP also, and so is Trapper. Plz nerf BHVR!

    I feel like this is bait. "wich" "milk face" "myers OP"

    Instant-down or not all the killers are beatable. The more skilled a player is the more that gap looks like imbalance. You can't call it op where the interactions are 1v1 cause asymectrics require the killer to have the advantage there. Survivor advantage is that objectives can be met in 4 separate places at the same time with cooperation expediting the process. 1 shots only impede upon the teams ability to shorten the killers hunting time by reducing said time 1 survivor can occupy as a distraction. Honestly if every killer had the exact same approach to wiping A team out Survivor would be unbearably boring and competitively predictable.

    Wait, Myers got a movement speed increase at tier three? I didn't see it in the patch notes /s

  • Shad03
    Shad03 Member Posts: 3,732

    :D

    But seriously, why do people keep thinking Myers gets a extra movement speed increase at tier three? He moves at 4.6% ms. Or you know, a regular killer speed.

    You can still loop Michael while he's in tier 3. I've done so. He also isn't OP. This is coming from someone who would be considered a survivor main. He's mid-tier, though he's still all right.

    What killer did you face that downed everyone with one swing? LF? You should never run the same direction and you should be aware enough of your surroundings to see an approaching killer.

    @Blueberry I dunno. It just sounds like someone who really doesn't like Michael. Which how? He's such a cutie.

    Well, he IS new so let's help him out!


    Don't let Myers stalk you, break line of sight during a chase to make him struggle!

    Myers isn't OP you potato, git gud.

  • NoShinyPony

    Michael is far from being op. Don't let him stalk you.

    If you struggle playing against him, play him yourself. Play against good SWF groups on rank 1 and learn his weak points this way.

    Only if you can actually aim and the survivor is out in the open and bad at dodging hatchets.

    For Christ sake they already took away getting bloodlust at tier one and stalking multiple survivors! What else do you want them to do to poor Mikey!

  • HeroLives
    HeroLives Member Posts: 3,234

    Imo as a survivor main without Myers ability to instadown upon reaching ew3 it would make him incredibly weak. You might as well throw the character in the trash can.

    tbh, myers is not that strong of a killer. he is very unique and fun, but he is nowhere to billys or nurses level.

    his insta down is running on limited time and also has a limited amount of usages, which can also be reduced by him killing the wrong survivor (a survivor that has not been fully stalked yet).

    if you want to counter a myers, first do NOT let him stalk you. ALWAYS try to break LoS and be aware of your surroundings. when he does tier up to tier 3, waste as much of his time as you can. pallets are a huge problem for myers.

    also no, he does NOT get a speedboost in tier 3. his movement speed in tier 3 is unchanged to his movement speed in tier 2. its both 115%. the only changes that go through myers when he tiers up are:

    1. his terror radius is increased from 24 to 32 meters
    2. his vaulting speed is increased
    3. he gets to oneshot a survivor
    4. his lunge range is increased

    Myers doesnt move faster at tier 3, he just vaults Windows faster, that's It.

    His power requiers time, something that killers dont have, and he is easy to loop so... No, he is not overpowered.

    People need to stop complaining about thing that already have a counter instead of trying to get them nerfed.

    @Mr_Jay_Stark

    The nerf to stalking multiple survivors was just stupid. Dont want him to get that tier 3 faster? Then dont work together, that was the counter and he still got nerfed. Im scared that devs do something like that to Billy...

    Ok, I stopped reading right here: "While for instance ‘milk-face’ or michael myers is way to OP and needs to be nerfed to be honest".

    Myers is OP???

    Serious?

    Oh wait, it's getting even better: "I had a game a couple days ago where the 4 survivors spawned together and were on their way to the generator when ‘a greedy killer used the one-hit-down, ran into us and DOWNED ALL 4 OF US WITH ONE HIT OR STRIKE -> this is an example of how f*ck*d up that can turn out. So i think that needs to be (re)evaluated again somewhere in the future. Not straight from the 1st second in the game being able to do so."

    *lol*

    So the killer was "greedy" for taking advantage of survivor playing stupid?

    What killer should have done that? Leatherface is the only one that could do that.

    And Leatherface is one of the low tier, underpowered killer!

    If he managed to mow you all down with one swing of bubbas ol' saw, YOU screwed up.

    This is a hit happen in 1 in a 1000 times. Gratz to the LF and I really wish to see that on YouTube or twitch to make me laugh.^^

    @thevenom_999_

    Dude, just because you get buried by some characters It doesnt mean they are OP. Myers is easy to loop, end of story.

    You do know the Shape doesn't move faster than any other Killer, right?

    Only vaulting is faster, but it doesn't seem like you meant that.

  • Dr_Trauts
    Dr_Trauts Member Posts: 704

    1 hit downs are completely fair,

  • Bongbingbing
    Bongbingbing Member Posts: 1,423

    That's Michael's whole Power, It's a trade off.

    You get to do gens and he looses time but is able to stalk up for the one-hit. Michael is far from OP.


    While I agree that some Killers have OP add ons, There's also OP Add ons for survivors. It goes both ways. You can't talk about getting rid of one without the other.

  • Aven_Fallen
    Aven_Fallen Member Posts: 18,097

    Well, Myers can be seen OP. What you dont see: That guy that lets him stalk to almost Tier 3. Or even reaching him Tier 2 easily.

    A Myers too long in Tier 1 will simply lose the game. As long as you dont know who the Killer is, look around as good as possible to avoid being stalked.
