FIX SLUGGING

Xify

After a certain amount of time on the floor you should be able to stand back up. The killer just downed us all and went AFK. This is so stupid, why has nothing been done with slugging? Please fix it, the trash killers do this way too much.

just because it's in the game doesn't mean it was intended nor does it mean it is balanced. It's a cheap and broken tactic that does not create a fun or even competitive experience in a game that should be both.

It was intended. That's why it has a timer (so the killer can't just go AFK and slug you forever) and perks that can either counter or support slugging. It is quite balanced. According to OP, only "trash killers" use it, so you should be fine as long as you're better than a "trash killer". I know I am.

Low ranks slug because they can't kill anyone in a competitive way. So I say the same to you

If slugging was not intended, they would not require a second Survivor to heal from Dying State into Injured State (aside from Perks, of course). This is in the game since Day 1. So its fair to say it is intended.

Also, slugging can be a tool to apply pressure. If I just down a Survivor and another Survivor is there and I know they dont have anything to get away, I can slug to either injure or even down them. It would be stupid to not do that, if it is worth the chase.

Also DS is a thing, it can be avoided by keeping the Survivor slugged.

Nobody is denying that keeping someone slugged for 4 minutes without any intention to hooking them is a dickmove. But there is no need to change the Mechanic just for a few individuals.

that was an hyperbole. and getting hit by a killer that is double your speed at least one time is not a mistake, its an inevitable happening when you already have to activate gens, among other things. four downed players cannot heal each other.

Killers are, at most, 15% faster by default.

Four downed players didn't get on the floor by themselves, they were outplayed. This is a consequence of failure.

The player should be reported.

Not a thread about slugging needs to go because i don't like it.

The player should be reported.

No, that's wrong.
