Killer visual and audio nerfs

Killer main that plays both sides. Playing survivor is incredibly frustrating! Getting camped, Tunneled off hook etc. Which got me thinking

Why should killers get notified of unhooks? It’s a invite on a silver platter for killers to go back and tunnel the survivor off hook.

I think serious consideration needs to be undertaken in order to make this game fun for all players to allow this game to continue to grow.

  • I feel like if killers didn't get notified they would just proxy camp everyone. It would also hurt perks like MYC. But it could be fun to have a special game mode where players play more blind like this.

    If they choose to proxy camp then the killers throw the game all together, the audio notification enables them to know instantly when to return to the hook.

    i get what you’re saying though

  • Removing the notification wouldn’t do much since if they’re the type to proxy camp, they’ll just keep an eye on the survivor portraits.

    Except camping and tunneling are rewarded and already a go-to strat at every rank. So, no. They would proxy and still do just fine.

    Imagine a game mode without notifications,would be pretty cool ngl,no hud/info for both sides :F

    Portraits would need some form of rework too,

    but it’ll be easy to loose track of portraits while searching the map for other survivors

    Killers who return to the hook every time won’t be across the map chasing other survivors, they’ll be “searching the area” waiting for the unhook, or nearby while a survivor bombs the hook behind them. In the scenario where a killer is off chasing or looking for someone else, the unhook notification doesn’t really matter.

    And reworking portraits in their entirety just for this doesn’t seem realistic to me, sorry. I agree with you that tunnelling is frustrating but I don’t think this is the solution.

  • Killer main who plays both sides?? 🤔

    Everyone plays both sides when posting in the forums lol

  • What they need to remove is the action bubble when survivor do comolete something most of the time this take almost half the screen and the number of chase that i lost cause of that is ridiculus

    Someone that prefers killer but also plays survivor. That's a killer main that plays both sides, unless there's requirements I'm unaware of that must be fulfilled before someone can call themselves a killer main.

    Trust me on this one, a killer who is returning to the hook to down the unhooked survivor again is not searching the map for other survivors. They have no situational awareness and game sense so this is the tactic they use and unfortunately it works.
