pain res needs to go

i dont even boot up the game any more because i know i have to deal with pain res every match.

i dont even want to argue about it with people. especially not anyone who's going to call me a "survivor main" and accuse me of stupid ######### like wanting "my side" to be stronger.

this perk is ruining the entire game for me. i only play killer because i dont want to deal with pain res, and when i want to play survivor, i just don't play. and this is making me play killer less, because i can't bring myself to care about the game, because i'm forced to play killer all the time and i can't ever chill on survivor. because pain res is still in every single one of my matches and it's not being addressed.

i don't care what you do to pain res. but the fact that it's a button you press to put the perfect square shape into the perfect square hole with no knowledge of where the square shape is, where the square hole is, and on top of all of that it's also a 20% regression is just overwhelmingly bad. stop it. do something to it.

i don't care if it becomes a non-scourge non-token perk that deals 10% to every gen in the map. i don't care if it targets a random gen, or the closest gen, or targets the highest repaired gen within 18 meters of an injured survivor, or whatever. just do something to limit this perk.

and i'll say this upfront, i literally don't care about other players' opinions on this perk. know in advance i'm not reading the replies. this forum sucks because you cannot post anything without being called a survivor main or being accused of having an ulterior motive. you know what my ulterior motive is? i want to play dead by daylight. that's my motive. i don't play this game any more because of pain res. i'm posting this for the developers and then i'm not looking at the thread any more. i'm just straight fed up with this perk and i'm straight fed up with how people on this forum behave whenever someone says anything about one side.

this perk makes me not boot up the game any more. i'm not excited for the new killer because every match is just pushing the sisyphean generators up the pain res mountain. god forbid there's a new survivor, because you KNOW i won't enjoy the new perks because they only exist in the context of swimming upstream against pain res!

fix pain res. change it, deal with it. just do something! i don't want it to be in all of my matches any more! i'm so sick of how oppressive and good it is for how brainless it is to use!

    Pain res is really not that big a deal. 20% regression for avoiding tunneling and winning chases is fair enough to me. Grim embrace is worth more fury, it effects every gen on the map and then stops you from playing for a minute for the same requirements as pain res. I know your pain though because I've certainly had my share of matches where 2 pain res's pop on my gen because my team is trash. Most of the time it'll only take away like 18s of my time and i can just power through though.

    On top of strong gen perks, survivors also have toolboxes and brand-new parts, which let them rush gens even faster. A single BNP can shave off huge chunks of a generator instantly, and even regular toolboxes let survivors speed through gens before killers can get proper pressure.

    Pain Res is one of the only perks that actually slows the game down without forcing killers to camp or tunnel. If killers didn’t have it, gens would fly even faster than they already do. If you think Pain Res is too strong, what’s the alternative? Should killers just rely on kicking gens while survivors stack Prove Thyself and Hyperfocus with toolboxes?

    No new regression (good) perk since Artist, most other regression perks nerfed even more than pain res, pain res doesn't have an issue with 3-gen feature.


    Yet people are surprised killers are using one of few decent slowdown perks…

    Pain Res isn't even that much strong anymore lil, it's literally out of meta since it's latest nerf.
