Video Tape not killswitched why?
Doesn't impact other players. By other players you mean doesn't impact Survivor. Why not Killswitch it? Killer players who are unaware of the bug will use it and waste BP, time and an add-on. Just killswitch it.

By "other players" they mean "your opposition". If a survivor perk/addon/item were broken in the same way, it wouldn't be killswitched.
The killswitch mechanic is for things that are either crashing the game, or can be used to gain an unfair advantage. The Video Tape is neither of these.
It should be killswitched. It's a killer add-on that doesn't work and gives survivors an unfair advantage of not having to deal with a killers Powers. How is completly negating a killers power not an unfair advantage?
Alright, let me rephrase. It's not something you can *knowingly abuse* for an unfair advantage. The killswitch mechanic isn't to disable anything broken, it's to disable things people are abusing, or things that are actively crashing the game.
gen rushing is not fun to play against and this addons prevents that it's a game changing perk that balances out the game again single handedly
combining it with corrupt haunted grounds and devour makes for a fun game
but manny killer players unknowingly will fall victim to it. Not everyone knows about the issue. It should be killswitched, it's why the killswitch exists. Just deactivate it, work it out then reactivate it.
Put on Facemask or Slow-release Toxin.
Survivors don't usually like being blinded or Exhausted.
No, it's not why the killswitch exists, that's what I'm trying to explain to you. The killswitch isn't just for something that's broken- it's for things players are abusing. Players cannot abuse the Video Tape because the killer gains no benefit and the survivors aren't able to ensure they're facing it.
Players will unknowingly fall victim, yes, but BHVR have announced it doesn't work and it's circulating the community so unfortunately there's just not much to do about that.
the strength of the add-on isn't in question. And you can still gen rush against it. Finishing 1 or multiple gens at the same time does nothing different, you can have 4 seperate survivors on 4 different gens and finishing them all at same time and killer loses 4 gens while only benefiting from 1 gen activating. And even then he might not get anything valuable since all 4 survivors cna remove the traps at the same time aswell. It's a gimmick add-on.
And that's a stupid way to have it work. If it's not working properly just killswitch it, what does it matter if it's abusable or not? IT's faulty, deactivate it, it's that simple.
We can argue all day and long whether the killswitch should have its functionality expanded, if I had any inclination to do that. You asked why it wasn't killswitched, I explained it. We're only arguing because you pushed back against that explanation- if you understand that's what the killswitch is for, we don't need to be having this conversation.
m1 and hook every killer can do. Dash doesn't work on most loops plus it's the least useful of any attack with range. She's not good and never has been good at anti-looping and pre-dropping pallets makes it even less useful. If you want anti-loop then Pig is definetly not a choice you'd make above any of the other anti-loop based killers..
And you can get as much value out of those as you can from videotape. What does it matter if they're exhausted or blind if they're sitting on a gen? What does it matter if they're exhausted or blind if they can remove the trap on first try before you even find them?
Killswitching is for things that can be abused, an addon thats not working as intended in a negative way meaning it actually hurts the killer to run isn't something that would be killswitched but it seemingly would be something that is warned about in patches and patch notes on the otherhand the totem spawns on the banned map offerings can be used to gain an advantage so they were disabled
used for a self disadvantage not killswitched
used for an advantage killswitched
You don't play Survivor do you? Also, literally it's so they try to take the Trap off rather than sit on gens and not bother with the Trap at all while it's bugged.
The conditions for killswitching are if YOU use it, YOU gain an unfair advantage, on the case of the VHS if YOU use it, THEM gain an unfair advantage, you can always have the option to not use it to not gimp yourself unlike the first case.
if they hate being blind why do they hide in lockers all game
IM LOOKING AT YOU DWIGHT
