The Streamers add-on was already mid, why was it nerfed?!

Because you're confusing two very different things:

Just because an add-on or power kills survivors doesn't automatically mean it does better than not using it, or using something else.

Tombstone might be frustrating to die to, but it takes a long time to earn, is generally telegraphed (not committing to chase, tiering up takes longer, etc), and people are usually going to play around tombstone even if you aren't running it.

So you are just as likely to have gens done by the time you get that far. If nothing else, ask anyone who's tried to 4k for the achievement if that's easy to earn.

Just because a killers power outright kills survivors doesn't mean that's the best method for killing survivors. Both pig and Onryo have that ability built into their power without an add-on at all, but I don't think anyone is calling them S-tier because of it.

There is no confusion.

You're mostly talking about Judith's Tombstone in your post. I am talking about Tombstone Piece. Also yeah, funny you mention survivors having to play around it - you know how they do that? By giving Myers a hook for free.

Any myers who is mega tryharding will use it 100%, there is no reason not to. Being able to bypass all hook states and make the game a 3v1 as early as possible makes the addon completely busted even with the small nerf it got.

Judith's tombstone, while not great to be hit by - has actual downsides that the Killer has to work around. Tombstone piece does not.

Well, if you read what I said it would make perfect sense. Double standards to balancing and business profiting. There is no world in the universe that would make sense for an addon to be that broken (pay 2 win).

It's the same psychology. The kill stats are so polished and then pretend killers killing 60+ is balanced in a PvP game with MMR. This is a multiplayer game, not single player where only one side is supposed to win by default and have fun.

There's a reason why survivor role sucks and people don't play it.

It should be balanced so better survivors escape more. When you have killers that win literally thousands in a row then there is a very serious balance problem.

We already know new survivor is the hardest and killer can easily 4 K.

I have played enough also to know 40% is inaccurate. Whatever the percentage is very wrong for a video game. There is not another video game with such horrible balance.

Both add-ons have the same counter. If you're playing Myers and he's not hooking them you jump in a locker, or work on a gen constantly.

At best, either add-on should only get, at most, one kill, and then it's confirmed 100%, to brand new players that it's in play. And both add-ons slow down EW progress.

Again, this only matters if the instant kill is both popular and giving the killer more kills than not running it. It's obviously popular because of the effect, but it's clearly not getting more kills overall than running a regular build. That's the logic here.

That's why I brought up pig and Onryo, because insta kill isn't necessarily going to be giga powerful just by itself. And you ignored that because you misunderstood that my argument applies to both add-ons here.

One early kill is all it takes for Killer's to secure a solid victory and that's what tombstone piece basically does. Unless I see data from BHVR specifically about this, I refuse to believe Myer's killrate with this addon is lower than those without. In """high""" mmr at least.

Comparing Tombstone to Pig and Onryo is very disingenous too because it might imply their insta-kills are just as low effort as Tombstone, which they aren't.

Onryo has to spend the whole game building up stacks, securing hooks to lock them in and then actually downing the survivor again for the mori

And Pig's RBTs are self explanatory; she needs a down, it takes a long time and so on.

(Not to mention the massive difference - they both have counterplay for the survivors). Actual counterplay based on how their powers are designed. Not "oh guess i'm just gonna jump in a locker because if i don't i might end up dying instantly"

Then you have Myers. Stalk survivors with a stalk rate addon, walk close enough to one then press m1. If there's no lockers nearby or you get caught off guard for whatever reason - congratulations you just got taken out of the game by a single purple addon.

At least with Judith's tombstone, his movement speed is decreased (meaning haste perks are needed, removing gen slowdown perks) and the amount of stalk required is insane.
