Kill Switch update: We have temporarily disabled The Legion due to an issue that allows for infinite power spam. The Legion will be re-enabled once this issue is fixed.

Revert Blight nerfs

Nerfing one of the only killers that was able to fight back against braindead surv meta (basically every second chance perk) while shoulder, deli sb + vigil remained untouched is insane level of bias towards one side. You reduce the gap between high and low tier killers by buffing everything below A tier not by nerfing strong ones. The balance changes itself are also awful. Blight can’t use his power in small rock tiles and by making him 110 you basically forcing him to play as m1 4.4 killer. Power cooldown after breaking the pallet is the most lamest and laziest thing you do to balance the killer - absolute garbage game design. Also the fact that they keep doing it after the pallet density update when every map has pallets connected to each other in 5 meters is a big hint to rethink their competence. For people who don’t play Blight and think that this won’t affect them: You do realise that after Blight subhuman surv players will start crying for a Nurse nerf/rework, then Billy, then Ghoul, ext. There is a big chance your favourite killer will get butchered one day because the devs only listen to 20 seconds chase sable mains with 500 hours.

    Blight is a broken killer, and this nerf should have happened a long time ago. And I’ll say more: for Blight to be fair, the Rat and Crow need to be adjusted; he doesn’t need more speed, because Blight always gets a free hit on the 5th bump—his mobility is so high that there’s no counterplay. The nurse isn't even close to being as good as Blight; she's only better than Blight in Midwitch and The Game.

    This was a long time coming for Blight. He should have never been this strong to begin with it.

    Blight has literally warped the entire game around him because of how broken he is. He's the reason certain killers have been getting nerfed or reworked into dash killers because anything but pseudo-blight is considered "unfun"

    Nah. Blight had this coming for a long time.

    The blight nerfs are great. The fewer survivor perks that are broken when massed up need their own nerfs and I'm pretty sure it's already being looked at among the diminishing returns incentive. Which is the proper way to balance the game.

    You don't balance the game by trying to make the entire killer roster completely broken just to combat a select few survivor perks + items/addons

    I agree with you, the game is an unbalanced mess. Nurse and blight are the only two killers that can compete with the crap that survivors bring.

    In public lobbies you can easily win on many killers and have killstreaks of 50-100+ games on many killers. If your winrates differ then the main problem is skill issue.

    Other killers have no problem doing what you can't.

    The many killers being underpowered only typically holds true in a comp setting, and in those settings it's not even relevant how strong the killer is, since both teams have to face it anyways
