why is blight not 4.4m/s?
opinions on this? seems strange to me that a killer like chucky is 110% while blight is 115%

Blight requires a lot of mechanical skill. You can’t just play blight for the first time and get a 4k takes time. Especially now when he doesn’t have hug tech and most maps are full of clutter.

I'm a complete garbage at blight. :D Imagine he was 4.4? I wouldn't be even able to get 1 down. :D

My understanding is, while Blight's power is very strong, there are structures his power cannot function in.
As a hypothetical extreme example, if you put a moderately sized rock in a completely open space with nothing to bounce off, and run around it tightly in a circle, at 4.4m/s Blight can literally do nothing.
Huntress has this exact problem too already, short huggable tiles she can't throw over are a major pain point for Huntress... but she at least can theoretically win an m2 mind game (though it is very difficult/unlikely).

He definitely should be 4.4m/s.
Make him a hard killer to play with highly rewarding skilled gameplay.

Not every loop can be played by his rush alone, he needs to setup with his normal speed.
Also chucky has survivor's hitbox, so he doesnt count as a 4.4

Blight rush is much harder to hit survivors with.
Chucky is mainly 4.4m/s because he's a tiny killer with undetectable, so making him slightly slower gives survivors much needed more time to react. His tiny size also allows him to hug loops tighter, so 4.4m/s balances that out slightly too.6 -
nerfing killers based on speed is a bad idea imo

The Pig agrees with this

Because 110% killers are terrible. Out of our last 14 killers, 1 of them was 110%, and that was Chucky. People don't want to play that trash. They want to actually be able to catch up to survivors, not just rely on gimmicks or survivors playing bad.

They made Legion 115% speed because his 110% speed version was horrible for MULTIPLE reasons.. If a killer was underperformed enough to be an example of "really bad 110% killer", they'd likely be tweaked until that wasn't the case anymore.

You asked for an example of a weak 110% killer. I was simply stating that if there was one to list for you, it would be changed so it's no longer an example of a weak 110% killer. Bringing up Legion was just an example of a weak 110% killer that wasn't left as is.

We can dismiss the idea that 110%= good killer. I'm fairly sure old Trickster was never considered top tier either (not that he's top tier NOW).

Chucky was 4.4 m/s because he could vault pallets with scamper. His slice & dice can universally be used on any loop in the game. Blight's rush cannot be used everywhere, especially not with removal of his hug tech being removed.
he had guaranteed down every 3 hits with frank tape. if anything, legion is weak 4.6 m/s killer now and he is remained like that for over 4 years.

Are the people who say blight is difficult playing on gamepad?
6 -
him being 4.4 will have little to no effect on good blights or blight mains. However that would make him even less aprocheable for new players . That's like making billy 110% , only his real mains would stick around for that .

You can’t just play blight for the first time and get a 4k
Sorry but yes, you can. I'm pretty sure it took me several matches for me to lose/draw a match as Blight for the first time back then. Pressing right click is not "a lot of mechanical skill".

4.4 killers are killers that can get hits with their power on nearly any loop, and so they are forced to do so for value. Blight is very strong on larger loops with few turn. On shorter filler tiles with which are often round or have sharp turns his power will likely not get a hit unless the survivor really messes up. Therefore blight should be 4.6 so he can deal with these situations effectively without his power. If blight still had hug tech I might agree with you if he was given some minor compensation buffs, however current blight has enough clear and effective counterplay and disadvantageous situations that the 5% speed penalty is unnecessary.

Yes, Hag and Deathslinger are both bad and underplayed 110% speed killers.
0 -
Nah Hag's bad lol, even her mains have been asking for her to be buffed to 115% for years by now, so that tells me anything I need to know about her. Deathslinger mains seem at least more confident in his abilities but there's so many 115% speed killers with better antiloop powers than him by this point that he's comparably weak. And frankly even Huntress is hella overrated considering how map dependent and easy to loop she is.

Nah, I don't think his power is strong enough for him to be 4.4m/s.

This.
Now that hug tech is no longer a thing, there are many loops where his power is literally unusable. If he was 4.4 he would suffer more.
Chucky is a 4.4 yes, but he has the same hitbox as a survivor, which means in loops, he actually is looping faster than a 4.6 killer does due to being able to hug the wall better. So the 4.4 there is mostly there for the map traversal.

bhvr been trying to stop with 110% killers. If you look at all the last chapters minus chucky everyone is 115% now. Chucky might aswell be 115% around loops since his hitbox is so small.
