Pressure

The game is simple at its core (for killers).

  • Down survivors quick in other words, end chases quickly
  • Pressure the survivors and gens
  • Kill someone as fast as possible without tunneling

If you do this against a survivor and play good, you'll win everytime, right ? No.

When the 2nd chance perks come into play, you just can't punish survivors. They can do gens infront of your face 'cause they just got unhooked, they can basically run through you with Dead Hard etc. So what can you do against this ? You can bring NOED, moris and iri heads but when you do, they complain. They complain how unfair the game is, they complain how much survivors get nerfs but killers get buffs and so much more but they use second chance perks all the time.

If the killer doesn't have any pressure on survivors, which you can lose in seconds, you just can't win. Even if you have the best perks in the game you still can't win. You need to play the big boys like Freddy or Spirit but when you do, they complain.

You might say "Well, Erk, just ignore them !" This makes sense at first glance but then you realise they are the other %50 of the community. You have to listen to them because what they say might effect the game.

If a survivor uses DS, Adrenaline, DH and Unbreakable I can't do anything unless they screw up so bad that not even their 4th second chance perk doesn't work. If a survivor can literally walk around me because s/he got unhooked, I am not the one that has the weapon, they have the weapon.

This can be changed REALLY easily, here are some examples :

Decisive Strike : It shouldn't be 60 seconds, just make it 20 or something near that. That way the killer gets punished for tunneling and the survivor can't walk around you. (I know the devs said its not an anti-tunneling perk but still, its most useful there.)

Dead Hard : Just make it so that you are not invincible while you are DH'ing. You can still gain distance and stuff but you can't go through the killer.

Adrenaline : It either gives you a speed boost or heals you up. That's it. Not both.

Unbreakable : It's actually fine if the DS nerf gets applied.

This is literally it. As a compensation, NOED and moris can get nerfed too, since they are OP too. Otzdarva's FAQ has a good idea about the NOED nerf. If we just made it so that the if the killer closes the hatch, a key cannot open it again, I think that would be enough of a nerf.

What are your thoughts about this ?
