Nerf endurance

Buckle up + for the people, off the record. Endurance is beyond broken, and there are few counterplays, especially to background player + buckle up and ftp.

Good game design has counterplay, not "nice job doing what killers do, shame they have a busted combo"

    Now how you have a OTR profile and make this post? You gotta make it more believable!

    I would not have a problem with For the People if it activated in some special way similar to Dead Hard.

    Endurance and FTP is not particularly OP except when together with Buckle Up, then is just BS.

    Its also weird, how Buckle up does what We're Gonna Live Forever does, but better is every way. There is some serious inequality between Survivor Endurance Perks.

    I don't understand why the base endurance is ten seconds for all new endurance effects. I think buckle up would be much more palatable if it were five seconds.

    Off the Record makes survivor not do anything for up to 80 seconds, basically 3v1 for entire gen time for the killer.

    Buckle Up and For the People takes two slots (if you mentioned BGP - even three), require precise timing, one of the survivors have to be healthy and lefts one survivor broken for 60 seconds.

    It's good for INSANE KILLER OUTPLAYS DBD MONTAGE youtube video, but it isn't that good for game

    It's unhealthy in the classic sense. Is it fun to play against? Of course not. It feels unfair to have invincible survivors pop up in front of you. For similar reasons boil over was nerfed. Also DS. Putting the killer into lose/lose situations is inconsistently frowned on by the devs. You chase the one survivor that you can't down or the other survivor you can't down. Face camping and hook grabs were removed or adulterated for the same reason. Also ftp+buckle up has a 2.7s window to use it in. That's hardly precise timing considering the average human reaction speed of 250ms.

    Off the record can be used offensively by coordinated groups to great effect. That's three hits they can take for someone else with two other survivors on gens. It's incredibly valuable.
