Blight could get some buffs

I know it's outlandish to put "Blight" and "Buff" in the same sentence, but hear me out.

Blight has very bad add on variety, mainly because playing without speed feels clunky and unfun. Double speed (5%) or just crow (3%) should be made base kit to make him more fun to play and encourage add on variety. Nerf add ons or do an add on pass if needed.

His fatigues should be adjusted to be more in line with what the standard is today. His successful hit should go from 3s to 2.7, and missed/obstructed hits should go from 2.5s to 3. Similar to the nurse.

Blight is also one of the buggiest characters in the game, double fatigue, animation bugs, etc. Theres probably a lot of feedback on these, I hope there is something in the works to address that.

Console should also gain a sensitivity increase, since not being able to shoulder flick is a huge downside to console blight.

    So we just leave him in the state of "Feels terrible to play without speed add ons".

    Basic QOL buffs shouldnt be gatekept just because he's strong.

    EDIT: Oh yea and why should we not buff him to be just as strong on console as PC?

    We don't need to buff Blight.

    Double fatigue should be fixed, though.

    I’m sure there are killers that deserve more than blight to ricieve buffs

    He doesn't really need buffs in my opinion, just bug fixes...

    He is still very strong killer, but bugs are always annoying aspect.

    We need the old Summoning Stone and Soul Chemical back, but that’s about all that Blight should get for a while other than bug fixes. He’s gotten updated a little too much recently and I think it’s about time resources are spent on other killers balance-wise.

    Sadly people will never agree with you, because of Blight hate. Blight needs speed as much as old Billy needed his engravings, and it's fine to give them in basekit to him because, you know, it's beloved Billy, he deserved it. But it's not fine to give speed in basekit to Blight, because uuuuu it's Blight and we hate him. This community is too biased about Blight, so don't expect you ever see support on QoL to this killer.
    I can't say Blight has "very bad addon variety", it's significantly worse than before, but still alright. Some addons were overnerfed, some changes were completely unnecessary (Stone and Soul Chemical), but I still can chose across the board what addons I can run. But no doubt, you won't play to win without speed addons.

    they gutted him. I bought and earned every single Blight cosmetic imaginable and he jerks garbage to play without double iri. On Alien map today I dc’d from the frustration.

    This killer is stupidly strong. He needs more nerfs on his iridescent/ring addons and not buffs.

    Duh he's strong. Doesn't mean he's fun or healthy when you're forced to run speed to have fun.

    I'd just revert his compound 33 and iri tag changes. those two nerf were a bit too harsh with the hug tech. he should at least be able to do hug tech or use both iri add-on's.

    Good luck with this one lol, I highly highly agree with him getting more speed at basekit but I think he should be nerfed more to compensate and probably not have his hit cooldowns reduced, but still speed becoming basekit really should happen and I wish people understood why

    don't forget attacks with no hitbox and regular attacks out of lunge, (on top of making him client sided blight controls terribly on high ping)

    Bug fixes are welcomed by me, but he does not need any buffs.

    He's the strongest A tier killer now after his nerfs. Bhvr shouldn't touch him, most likely ever. Base speed Blight is fun and strong. Definitely shouldn't have his speed add-ons incorporated into his basekit, in any capacity. Your fun or lack of fun shouldn't be a consideration in balancing Blight at all. I'm sorry, but this just makes you sound like an entitled killer main, wanting easier wins in the name of "fun".
