Devs when are you going to nerf survivors

New players have enough trouble as it is. Nerfing survivors as a whole would stop the community from growing. I do agree BNP and survivor objectives as a whole need a rework (come on devs it can't be harder than reworking a killer).

Not if you reduce gen times and add a second objective. This will make the game more fun and varied overall.

When do I not? :))

Terrible idea. Not saying slugging is a great mechanic but removing slugging effectively decreases the killers ability to apply pressure. For example, you down a survivor and another survivor is really close. Well now you cant apply max pressure by chasing the other survivor because the downed one will eventually get up. This is especially bad when there are 2-3 survivors left.

There are many more ways to make survivor's life miserable than just increasing gen times.

Just some ideas i keep in mind for the "solo-cwf"- gapclosing-compensation: Stuff to counteract the giganteous advantage they'd be gettin.

• Give survivors an acceleration like killers have (survivors currently instantly reach running speed)
• Killers push survivors out of their way instead of stopping on the spot if a single pxiel of their collision overlap.
• Survivors flinch in place when hit during an action (repair/heal/sabotage etc) and regress said action like a failed skillcheck. This means a small animation like failed skillchecks, during which survivors cannot move.
• Like the former, survivors cannot move during a failed skillcheck animation.
• Getting hit during a vault should replace the remaining part of the animation by a slower version. ("Survivor getting hit during a window fast vault will fall to the floor and then get up. Survivor obviously will complete the vault)

Note that the last 3 points are basically avoidable and only count as nerfs if survivors do stuff in the killers face. Identity V punishes getting hit mid-action with instant downs, my slowdown idea is pretty tame in comparison.

In my mind, it's not a jump at all to add a mechanic that increases hook time, slowing death progression, since they already dock points for a killer standing too close to a hooked survivor. It should trigger a slow down in the overall time it takes each hook phase to complete, allowing the survivors the chances to complete objectives, saves, etc. However, I think also adding a debuff effect that adds a 1-3 second blindness and deactives their natural lunge for a short time the longer a killer camps would help, as well.

On the flip side, what JC316 said is also true. Reducing loop abusability (I'm looking at you, murder shack), and adding in a terror/sanity mechanic to prevent excessive chases/killer stalking would balance the game, and take A LOT of the toxicity and irritation out of SWF teams.

A few games have applied such a mechanic, and I feel it would work well, given the context of this game. Just as the killer would be given a timed mechanic to reduce and prevent camping, so too, should survivors be given a timer when in too close a proximity to the Killers while out of chase. In this case, it's a countdown to a scream/aura flare w/exposed status for 5 to 10 or so seconds, caused by the "horror of being too close to the killer and their actions" kind of thing. It would essentially allow the killer to pinpoint and Chase away stalker/watcher roles on swf teams, or follow/hide & save types, which could promote less tunneling, as well. You could even introduce a new killer perk that allows it, or an insanity status affect like the doctors that isn't permanent, but rather than causing them to scream, drastically increases their chances of failing an activity or causes them to randomly slow down while running to 'breathe'.
