All Things Wicked Review
The Perks:
The Unknown's Perks are decent. Nothing crazy, but I like all of them. I've ironically gotten the most use out of the Undectable one.
Sable's perks are...fine-ish. Her Self-Healing in the basement is alright, but the other two are problematic in entirely different ways. Weaving Spiders is probably the worst perk BHVR has ever released, bar literally none. Self-unhooking in the basement is asking for troll squads.
The Killer:
Visually, very good. His TR is decent as well.
His actual power though? What a letdown. It's like they saw that people liked the Trickster Bouncy Knife add-on and made it a whole Killer. He's not very strong and he kinda sucks to play. He's definitely the worst ranged Killer.
The Survivor:
Sable is good. Goth girl is good. That is all.
The Map:
It's bad. I think it's really bad, actually. The gen spread looks horrendous. It has too many pallets. It's like a reverse Gideon. Gideon has no windows but a lot of safe pallets. This map has windows and a ton of unsafe pallets. It's miserable for everyone because it's just pre-drop city.
Overall, this chapter is a 5/10; only because it didn't break the game...yet.

I think All Things Wicked is the best chapter since the first Resident Evil chapter. For an original chapter I was very impressed with what we got. Sable is insanely cool. I was sold on the chapter the moment I saw her reveal. I think its a huge W chapter and I hope they continue to put the same love and care into future chapters as they did this one.

SiS and Wicked are two of my favorite perks in a long time and I doubt they're leaving my builds any time soon. SiS has been talked about a ton already so instead I'm going to talk about Wicked.
The basement unhook is nice I've gotten to use that more than I expected but the aura read is the real reason I love this perk so much. Being able to know if the killer is coming back to hook has saved me from so many potential tunnels it's crazy. Even where they don't, knowing where the killer is for that long just feels very impactful.

I imagine that both will be nerfed.
Not sure what will happen to Wicked, but I doubt it stays that way for long and I do think it's unhealthy
SiS might just get a number nerf. That's all I'm expecting for it.

The visuals are good, but DBD's art and design department has always been killer (pun intended).
It's the gameplay and perk design that I take quite a bit of issue with.

Indeed, the New map has too many pallets. Just because most of them are unsafe It doesn't mean that needs to have 25.

SiS might go back to 60% or even down to 50% being able to get a regular speed heal solo with botany is kinda busted and we're just back to CoH again. This somehow happened the same time as a Mangled nerf lol, Wraith is crying in a corner rn.
Wicked idk it's strong but I don't think it's actually that busted, Breakdown gives you the aura read for 6 seconds but also breaks the hook for 3 minutes. Wicked's primary effect only happens on 4 specific hooks that the killer can just choose not to hook you there just like they can choose to not walk through pallets on the way to a hook cuz of power struggle. Maybe you can cut the aura read to 12 seconds but I don't think that's super necessary.

Not that it's too strong, that it's unhealthy.
It allows for too much trolling, I think. I don't like perks that encourage that. Ie, Boil Over.

With boil over / sabo and/or right map the survivors can just stick the killer in an unwinnable position. Survivors never have to advance their objective because the killer can't really advance theirs. Wicked means a team can focus all on gens and never even worry about unhooks because everyone just makes sure to go down in the basement.
That seems incredibly powerful, perhaps too powerful, but the killer is still getting hook states and those free unhooks are going to run out quickly.

Sidenote, and I dont think its specific to this battlepass only. I think its been like this for a while now but, it takes WAY too long to get through the battlepass. In my opinion.

Going to basement with Boil Over, Wicked, Flip Flop and that whole thing.
The Killer can't make a hook outside of basement.
