Leave Self Care alone!

I play solo only and I don't use Self Care.

Reliance on crutches like that ultimately make you worse as a solo player. I find myself doing so much better when I don't use any perks at all than when I do.

Either way, infinite healing is powerful, and it makes ambush Killers kinda pointless. What's the point of getting a hit in early if they can spend 20 seconds to erase that?

I thought the same thing until recently. I've been trying to use other perks in its slot and actually have more fun in some games because of the new perks. 

Bond for instance. Comes in handy WAAAAY more than self care ever did. Hard to believe I know. But when ur hurt it's easy to find someone for quick heals and it let's me know if someone is nearby so we can tag a gen together. 

Empathy is another one that I didn't think much of but really liked it when I used it. YES I can only see other injured survivors but hey, if I go heal them they usually heal me. 

There's countless others to consider and self care can pretty much be replaced by Pharmacy.....

When HOW u play the game depends entirely on ONE perk, you've already lost the game.

It’s just that i hate having unreliable team mates when I’m playing solo and I genineuly feel like the new nerf for SC is going to turn into a trolling spazz.

I feel like the devs are going to make it to where you can only heal yourself so many times, I can only imagine trolling team mates leaving my healing progress bar at a touch away, give me a teabag, and then run off...

Isn’t Nurses Calling used to counter self care if the person escaped out the chase?

Use medkits, problem solved, you don't need to thx me

hmmm, I’ll try it out.

Yes! I wasn't being snarky at all I promise. I was a die hard user of self care. Every freaking game I had it. But after swapping it out I've had so much more fun. and since then I've even swapped out sprint burst for some other perks of the same effect. (I feel like lithe is the better option cuz it's just like sprint burst expect u don't have to worry about activating it accidently by pressing the run button)

Lol, I have 105 yellow medkits on Jake. I never bother using items either cause you don't need 'em as Survivor.

I agree with you on that, but I'm answering her/him about her fearing selfcare nerf.
Don't be a meta slave, my most enjoyable game are the game where I go perkless or do a meme build.
Hell lately I've been doing perk roulette, my build can be both amazing ot total trash.
And it's perfectly fine.
Nor survivor nor killer are suppose to win every time.
It's a game, have fun.

Medkits have a limit lol

You fear that your teamate won't heal you (wich is silly everyone want free bloodpoint) if you have a medkit you'll still be able to heal, even after the selfcare nerf.
If the limited use bother you so much take a medkit and pharmacy that way your guaranty to have at lest two yellow medkit, even without addon it's 4 heal, that way much that what you'll need most match even if you get out of your way to prevent your teamate to heal you.

Amen, spoken like a true legend.

I never bother to try out different things as Killer though. I fear not having Ruin or BBQ.

It’s okay to fear that! It’s good for the gen rushers! However, a lot of killers blame SWF for Ruin getting taken out at the start of the match when it’s really the matter of spawning right next to the hex totem....

Agreed, I spawn next to Hexes so much it's not even funny. I'll run into a jungle gym to find a lit totem less than 10 seconds of the match starting. Not an SWF issue, it's a totem issue.

I would never even mention the perk if it didn't make Freddy absolutely useless.

I mean, it's not a big deal if people switch to Bond. This change is kiiiinda low impact, but it makes A Nurse's Calling stronger (again).

Maybe its too valuable to be left alone

this is an asymmetrical game the team side should have to work together (finding and healing each other) to defeat the single player

but you will end up with unreliable teammates sometimes, and playing survivor is a team game, not a solo game. so yes, self-care should not be done alone.

i don’t care how many perks of ours they nerf, self care is way too valuable when you’re a solo survivor and have an unreliable team....

EDIT: It was said that the nerf is going to be that you will lose all progress if you stop healing, I am completely okay with that nerf. I just thought I couldn’t self heal for a maximum amount of times. Some people also made some suggestions about using other perks in the place of Self Care like Bond... I think I’ll be trying it.

I did propose a change that in any instance that you stop healing (this is for every healing action not just Self Care) that you'll instantly lose 25% of your progress and normal regression happens after. If you didn't completely stitch yourself up then the string that holds your skin together will loosen up, not instantly undo itself with the power of magic lol.
