Disable Lightborn in Events or Don't make "blinding the killer" a special scoring event.
- As it stands event focused blinds incentivizes survivors to bring items and/or blinding perks and to try and force a blind as often as possible while a singular, passive, unlimited use killer perk makes getting those points completely impossible.
- More often than not requires a fair amount of timing, skill and a limited use item (ESPECIALLY flash bangs/firecrackers).
- When survivors bring flashlights it usually involves being central to the build they are running. One perk negates part of if not the entire build. ONE PERK.
This isn't a nerf lightborn or wah the killer countered my build post, there are countless better perks/combos for killers. This is genuinely asking why bother adding that as a scoring event when one perk negates that entire section of the event? Same with blinding challenges, if lightborn had tokens, a cooldown or required an action or circumstance to activate that would be one thing but it's free, always on and removes an entire aspect to the game.
Thoughts?

I personally just think Lightborn is a terribly designed perk. A perk that counters flashlights is fine, but it shouldnt COMPLETELY negate them.
Just bring back OG Lightborn without the dimmed vision. Problem solved.

As a killer who uses Lightborn like it's basekit I do agree with this. It's an overturned perk and makes challenges in the tome hard as well. I'm stuck on a few survivor ones myself because I refuse to even try. I've whacked too many survivors trying to blind me. Having the blinding effect but not making you drop a person, just messing up you ability to get to the hook in time, would be acceptable. It would also allow challenges to get done.

You can run Blast Mine and it doesn't require an item OR special timing.
To "fix" the challenge, it should reward attempts as if they were blinds. Problem solved.

There are no challenges up that require blinding the killer, what are you on about? Or do you mena literally getting bonus bloodpoints for blinding the killer?

Nah, I'd rather have a chill time playing in the events if that's all the same.
Getting blinded at every single pallet is the most annoying experience you can have while playing Killer. There will be plenty of Killer players out there that don't care about beamers. So it's not the end of the world if you go up against Lightborn every now and again.

In the tomes there are several, "blind the killer X times" "blind a killer carrying a survivor" etc.

haven’t seen a killer run lightborn in 2025 alone. You’ll be alright.

The tomes are effectively dead content. They are going to go away even at some point, and people aren't running lightborn because survivors are running flashlights to complete old content.
