Blight & nurse getting kanekis power cooldown when breaking pallets

Basically the title, would this be a reasonable nerf/balance adjustment?

    No. Ghoul has this restriction because he has a long-ranged hitscan grab attack. He doesn’t have this restriction because he has a dash.

    That's not how it works. Ghouls first hit goes over pallets and can only injure with ridiculous range but is only partially the reason his power goes on cool down since its so easy to hit a survivor with it. The biggest issue is distance and Ghouls M1 after canceling his power. Killers like Nurse, Blight and Ghoul can instantly catch up despite being stunned, so if they pallet break, the survivor actually gets value in distance rather than immediately being punished for using a pallet. Before his nerf Ghoul can just break and land on top of the survivor seconds later. It was even worse with pallet breaking perks like Brutal and Fire Up.

    Defienetly not. Killers don't any more restrictions. Hopefully they will revert that on Ghoul too. There is already limitation to holding area, tunneling etc. It's pretty unfair to force killers playing one and only way.

    That still means Ghoul’s restriction shouldn’t apply to Nurse or Blight.

    Because Nurse and Blight already have a long “can’t attack” cooldown, when their power cancels.

    Exactly why I suggest this, bc nurse & blight are just as bad bc of this reason of being able to catch up with little to no problem

    I was going to say that too.

    While Blight would get impacted, Nurse would not even notice.

    Nurses almost never break pallets anyway, unless they are a meme build like matchbox or spasmodic breath, and those builds dont need a nerf. For Blight idk, its weird cause Blight can break pallets with his power.

    It would be a perfect start for blight nerfs. Nurse needs something else but it would also not hurt giving it to her,

    Blight? Probably gonna happen.

    Nurse? When does nurse ever need to break a pallet?

    He also can't down you with said attack, Nurse and Blight can.

    For Blight, sure.

    Nurse, no, because it makes no sense for her. She almost never actually breaks pallets and it would do very little to her. She needs other changes.

    Nurse needs to lose all tokens when stunned by a pallet, since she doesn't break them ever. But yes, they both need those ghoul style nerfs

    Absolutely not. Whole "get cooldown on top of another cooldown for doing usual chase thing" is just devs saying "we don't know what to do with power to keep it useful, but less oppressive, so we came up with the laziest decision".

    Kaneki is still pretty strong, but since this stupid band-aid nerf I played him only once, because there is nothing more boring than be a powerless killer on cooldown for a half of the match.

    So I really hope we won't see this mechanic EVER again. Perfect example of how you don't treat any killer in this game.

    I've yet to see a Kaneki even need to break a pallet.

    He's able to catch up to me after vaulting before I can make it back around to the pallet to vault because his cooldown is literally non-existent. 1.25 second cooldown… half that of Legion's. It's ridiculous.

    Blight losing 1 extra token for a pallet break wouldn't be the end of the world and would give survivors a bit more wiggle room to make it somewhere else. Not sure how I feel about it though

    Wouldn't affect Nurse at all since they never really break pallets/pallets are almost a non-factor outside of the occasional after blink stun.

    It doesn't change the fact that Ghoul didn't get the restriction because he has a dash. That's not the trigger condition. It doesn't open a slippery slope that all dash killers should get the same restriction.

    Not a big enough nerf for Blight. Wouldn't do anything to Nurse.
