Toolboxes are useless?

“Toolboxes are useless” that’s where you compromised all of it.

Flashlights- I'm guessing you're referring to insta blinds sorry to burst your bubble but there's one not fun to deal with and they were incredibly cheap it made getting flashlight saves so easy it took no skill.
Insta heals- Resetting progress is not fun it wouldn't be a fun thing if I could just kick a gen that's been completed and have it automatically be regressed to 0. However unlike grasp rescues take skill and timing this was the easiest way to do it.
Medkit- on a whole have been buffed the only one that has become close to being nerfed is the emergency med kit and even then it's nerf is debatable.
Those people who want faster heals will consider it a buff and the people who wanted more consistent long lasting heals will consider it nerf
Toolboxes - they're not useless this point is irrelevant. The only thing I can think you're referring to with this is brand new parts and sorry to be the bearer of bad news but having 4 generators pop in 20 seconds was not fun or fair
Sabotaging- Welcome to the seesaw mechanic of the game. Legion was the seesaw killer and MoM was the seesaw perk.
You make sabotaging powerful and it becomes oppressive or you make it weak and it becomes pointless you can't really create a middle ground without forcing it it's either one or the other

Toolboxes are far from useless. Just shows that you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

I really wish flashlights were useless but as a Hag main I object to that assertion. 😥
Toolboxes save lives but many times ensure survivors barely black pip because the gens went so quick.

Toolboxes aren't useless.
And for the record, I have saved many teammates with sabo.

Do you know what things were like before those items were nerfed?
Flashlights could instantly blind a killer who was just walking at you.
Insta-heals picked up a dying survivors to full (two health states). You were probably around for this one, but it was OP nonetheless.
A toolbox could instantly finish a gen with BNP.
Sabotaging permanently removed hooks, forcing the Killer to try to make it to the basement.
Keys let you escape for free, and bring your friends with you. In the event that you do end up dying, no worries because there's an add-on that lets you keep it. You don't need to worry about using it when you don't need to, either, because another add-on lets you keep it after using it.
So what will we have left after keys get nerfed (and hopefully Moris, since they're the Killer version of keys)? A more balanced game.

My feeling on sabotaging is the time spent doing it could be better spent. Also when someone drops one of my hooks while I've got a survivor on my shoulder, it's on, I'll throw the match to tunnel the saboteur

What you are saying isn't wrong, but I'm tired of genrushing. Doing hook saves is a lot more fun and fulfilling.

I actually would prefer they removed flashlights from the game at this point, to be honest.

dont worry, safe pallets and vaults are already being nerfed first.

We're left with keys, which I can't see ever getting fully removed honestly, and maps. Rainbow Maps are my favourite item in the game, and they're criminally underrated. They give so much life-saving information and several thousand extra bloodpoints if you use them right.
Also, as many others have pointed out, toolboxes are far from useless and sabotaging, while a bit gimmicky and a waste of time in general, has the potential to save lives if done right. The nerfs to flashlights, BNPs and arguably instaheals were necessary to maintain the health of the game. It's not a conspiracy, the devs aren't trying to kill the survivor experience. They're trying to make the game fun and fair for both sides.

Bait?

Rianbow maps are the bomb. Especially with a crystal or glass bead.
I love dropping pillars of light for no real reason.

This post is very biased
Toolboxes are annoying to face
Purple instaheal actually got buffed
Sabotaging is wasting your time
Flashlights still work

Nah, the one use powerful addon didn't deserve to be nerfed, by that logic all insta-down addons that are unbalanced for the game and are a mai ncause of people DCing need to be nerfed.
0 -
how does that relate to what i said? I'm stating they didnt deserve to be nerfed.
