Self-Care Balancing

Self-Care should not exceed 50% or go lower than 50%. Perks like sloppy butcher and dying light should only have affect on teammate heals and med-kit heals. You waste a lot of time healing with self-care which gives the killer time to do stuff (which is fair). Perks like botany knowledge and leader should not increase the rate that you heal yourself with self-care because you have the ability to heal yourself without a med-kit at the cost of it being 50% slower which is enough.

    Had a game where we were healing on a hill and I could see someone self caring in the corner. If he had bond instead, we would have all been done so much quicker instead of him still self caring in the corner as we walked away.

    Selfcare saves time, you dont have to look for others, the others dont have to look for you, and the others can do more important stuff than healing you.

    Self Care, despite being a generally wasted slot in SWF, is functional when one doesn't necessarily trust their teammates to do gens or heal. It's balanced as is.

    Honestly, I typically bring a medkit instead, just in case.

    Healing in general is not worth it. The Meta is to run adrenaline and ignore healing all together.

    In the time someone else heals you (16 seconds) you could both get on a gen done and finish 28.8 charges of work, which is 36%. If everyone on the team just ignores healing to do gens, youll get the gens done so much faster it's worth it. If you're both injured in the time it takes to heal each other you'll get the gen to 72 complete.

    Just don't heal.

    Even without adrenaline ignoring healing is worth it. With adrenaline? You'd be stupid not to.

    I feel like it rather needs a buff like 65% Healing speed or completly be removed since I can't stand teammates doing nothing than healing themselves wasting time.
