Can we finally change the gen speeds.

i win 80% of my matches with one slowdown. you really dont need to run quad slowdown (or all that many at all tbh) to win, just need to manage your pressure as the game goes on.

I would personally recommend not running all four slowdown perks, I find that has a nasty habit of backfiring sometimes.

Think about it for a second- with narrow exceptions, most slowdown perks require you to be getting downs or hooks in order to activate. If all your perks only do something after ending chases, with maybe only one like Deadlock being passive, that means one bad chase or any excess time spent trying to find a survivor puts you massively behind. Slowdown perks can't regress completed generators, so any gens done during that longer chase or searching downtime are lost for good, and most of them only damage one gen at a time so that's a lot of progression you can't undo if survivors are split up.

I'd recommend perks that help you find survivors quicker, end chases quicker, and generally minimise your downtime so your natural pressure can do the heavy lifting for you. The more you snowball by forcing survivors to react, the less they can do generators, and the easier time you'll have to keep going.

That's not to say you'll never have issues if you play this way, of course. Sometimes survivors are just better than you, and in cases where they aren't, toolboxes are still unbalanced- especially if everyone runs them. It will, however, help you with gen speeds in your average match, by a lot more than gambling on quad slowdowns.

It does 95% of the time. Maybe you lose to perk power differences or map rng on rare occasion, but most matches come down to mindset and skill.

Generators are already super boring to do for most people. I don't think solution relies in increasing the gen repair time. I think the solution lies in something like basekit Corrupt Intervention, so survivors can't just instantly sit on gens upon spawning in the map. I see that a big issue in a lot of matches.

Sometimes by the time you finally manage to find a survivor, a gen or 2 can pop. Hiding and instant gen access are the causes of this. Another Idea I have is have all gens blocked until the killer enters a chase with someone for the first time. Then unblock them all (or unblock all but the 3 gens furthest from the killer's spawn point). This would knock out the matches where survivors just keep hiding successfully while you're just trying to find someone.

You are cherry picking his videos he has an extremely high kill rate.

When a survivior wins quickly, its the games fault, when killers win quickly, it is a testament of skill? Id like to include the killers “less than 2 minute victory” included hooking and killing every survivor. While the less than 3 cuts at end game interestingly

There are faster records, with faster killers. But the point stands

I watched the video, and what I concluded is

He used a weak killer, a meme build, against a possible or if not gen efficient team, on a survivor map, with them spawning on generators, The setup alone isnt good but it doesnt end at that.

Even though he could of used a strong killer, a strong build, against a bad team on a survivor sided map thats probably not enough for you, so let me show you WHERE he could of improved, tied, or even get a 4k.

0:09: Sees a survivor on top gen. Ignores this survivor on top gen. Does nothing of value besides get in runner mode and then return to the same place at 0:38.

0:29

There are two survivors visible working on the said top gen now. Survivor 1 baits him around main at 0:38 and he takes it whilst survivor 2 stays on the gen.

0:46: surviviors 3 & 4, who were left unoccupied, doubled on a gen with a toolbox complete it and continue doing other gens, this is important for later.

1:01. He downs survivor 1 in 16 seconds, He hears survivors 2 directly above him almost done with the generator. Interestingly he decides to hook and go to the generator, with him being just seconds away from interrupting it from being completed.

1:40: Begins chase with survivor#3 and ignores the 60% gen. He later leaves survivior #3 to chase survivior #4, who leads him away from ALL GENS

1:57: survivior #4 leads him to unhook on survivior 1 At this point we can visually see survivior 2 leading survivior 1 to the gen he was doing, instead of switching targets like he was doing, he commits to chase with survivior #4

2:19- Downs survivior#4 is surprised when survivior#3 completed her gen after he left chase with her and didnt kick it

2:38- Is surprised yet again when survivior 1 & 2 complete the gen he saw them go to almost a minute ago, he also looks at a gen thats nearly completed, but ultimately ignores it

2:58: last gen is completed, this gen was the one previously being worked on at 0:46 from survivior 4

Endgame happens, he gets a 1k?

WHAT COULD HE HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?

1: Focus on chasing maybe? In total he chased 4 survivors, during all chases he often left at the worst times and literally refused to leave chase even when it was disincentivized to continue chasing. He also did tons of side objectives like kicking doors or checking on other survivors, which he ultimately ignored. This adds up when ur facing a gen rushing squad. He broke more doors than gens.

2:Slug- 2 times was he was SECONDS away from stopping a gen, but he saw the gen almost complete and just went to hook a survivior, it was also apparent the squad sucked at chases, with 16 second chases. If he prioritized gens like the survivors, he could of gave a secondary objective without the need to waste time hooking

3: Poor gameplay- He sees a survivior on other gens but doesnt do anything, he failed to have common sense in so many scenarios, like choosing a healthy survivior over injured, chasing in a dead gen zone, hunting 1 survivior when 2 are in display, exc

Also, during endgame he waited to hit a healthy survivior for some reason until they went to a pallet. He then hits them on the wrong side which results in them using their speed boost and yet again, JUST being out of reach. If he literally just hit at the beginning or WAIT to hit until he was on the side towards the opened gates, he would of tied against a team WAY BETTER than him, or if that’s offensive WAY BETTER EQUIPPED on a map that FAVORS THEM. Victory, or at least a tie was very possible

All of which doesnr mean he was wrong for playing how he did, but if your a average player with a meme build with a mid killer on a survivor sided map, dont expect to do exceptional every match you play. Not every match is a comp swf same way not every match is a comp nurse. Im sorry he went against a squad that insist on playing and winning so fast and boringly, but killers can do & prevent that if they choose to

unfortunately this is a reality that everyone should already know, it is impossible to play killer without slowdown, even tier S killers, you need to take at least two slowdown perks, this game is not balanced correctly, bhvr balances the game around perks, so much so, the survivor meta are second chance perks, why do you think ds is meta?

I disagree with you, the game is defined by the skill of the survivors, if they play badly, you have a chance to win. If they play well, you don't stand a chance, at least with most killers who are weak. The game is more about generator efficiency and Shift W

You certainly need at least 1 slowdown perk if you're playing as an M1 killer (which is half of the killers)

So you mean to say almost 2K win streak is just pure luck (can you calculate statistics for me on this one please? 2K wins by chance is def more likely then winning a lottery when I infer the meaning from your sentence - also talking about chance - he definitely always got only noob players going by your logic and was never sniped except the very last game of streak) and it's absolutely not defined by killer skill. Right?

As for comp level players… There are some tournaments from time to time with no rules and limitations. Do you know how they usually end up? You would be surprised, but killers still have (veery lightly mind you) an edge over survivors. And we are not talking just nurse and blight (while yes it's true some lower-skill killers like pig/trapper/freddy/legion are absolutely unplayable there).

Overall statements like "killer wins so it's skill, survivor wins so the game balance is bad" talk more about you then about the game.

With exception to kick meta and some short patches with broken mechanics (on release legion comes to mind), killers are THE strongest they have ever been. Their kill rate is waaay above historic data and also waaay above 50% - a lot of them a lot more. Maps are tiny in comparison to what they were. Gens take AGES compared to on release state. Survivor perks don't do anything compared to history and killers got basekit waaaay too many things compared to what the game was.
