Disappointed that blight hasn’t been nerfed
I was really expecting for the blight to be toned down/reworked for this mid-chapter update but instead they actually buff adrenaline vial. The killer has been busted since release and he’s even more busted if you can J flick which the majority of blights do and shouldn’t even be a thing to be honest. But nope, another year with this busted killer.
EDIT: I have nothing against base blight, base blight is perfectly fine. I personally think he at least needs a small add-on rework and the ridiculous flicks need to be looked at as well. Hope that clears up any confusion.

they only want to nerf ring. if ring is nerfed to regain idk 2-3 tokens will most likely be the same addon (meaning of insta rush). And if they totally rework it, then iri tag will be more popular pick and…new nerf topic will arrive
M2 on cooldown for 5 seconds lmao.
Run Alc Ring and C33 and profit.
Nobody legitimately thinks Alchemist Ring isn't busted, I refuse to believe that
@Aven_Fallen wants c33 and speed addons nerfed too,not "just alch ring ",and he always have this "you don't need it" phrase,like yeah,we don't but we want to use,and c21 already got a nerf,then we will get blighted tag (requires skill),and people will complain about it too. We'll end up with useless addons just like Nemmy,if suvivors have strong stuff we need strong stuff too.
The point of addons is to make the killer either stronger or bearable to play as
All of this addons add a bit of sweat into the build for Blight,if you want to win,it will help,but killers aren't allowed to want to win,then we get to a point,that killer's addons have been nerfed so much we have nothing to work with.
What are you on about dude.
I'm just scared of BHVR dude,the problem is that they don't know how to do #########,they will nerf the addons AND basekit Blight,mark my words,this already happened to other killers in the past,this creates an effect of fear (at least for me) of the devs balancing something because they will change what nobody asked for
You have to admit that he has absolutely busted addons though right?
This is starting to give me flashback to the billy debate before his "rework" where the vast majority of players are completely okay with and really enjoy blights base kit but he had a few outlier addons that make him busted. ISTG if they do an addon pass and also touch his base kit I'm gonna sue buvr for mental damages.
It’s actually really good dude you just don’t know it
True,BHVR will find a way of running Blight because of the addon pass,look at billy as an example,people just wanted some addons to be tuned down a bit,looks at his state now
As a previous Billy main and a current blight main if I ever see the words blight addon pass come out of a devs mouth I'm gonna have ptsd
looks at his state now
Mostly fine? Overheat tends to not be a problem a surprising amount of the time, and most (not all, but most) of his add-ons work properly. Some even have effects that work with his perks, which is pretty wizard.
What were we talking about? The upcoming Blight add-on pass?
*Laughs in french*
Yes, I’ve played the Alchemist’s Ring before and it’s dumb.
Alchemist ring is banned in comp dbd though :)
Blight is one of the best designed killers in the game though? Top tier, fun for both sides, takes skill to win with but not without counter-play for the survivors.
Sure, his add-ons can be OP AF and need to be nerfed (Alch ring mainly) but Base Blight is perfect
He's not the same anymore,everyone loved billy,overheat is a ######### mechanic,and his addons are complete crap just like pyramid's,nobody asked for it
Look at these blight mains talking how balanced their killer is.
Let me point out few things.
-His best addons do not have downside.
-Hug tech is not an intended mechanic Mr. Blight mains.
-He is a no brain killer look at compound 21, alchemist ring, insta down, compound 33 and his speed addons that once again do not have any downside.
-The blight can hit survivor when they are not even on the screen(i can show you few clips)
-Also playing Blight is not that hard, just learn hug tech(exploit) and use compound 21.
So yes Blight is not balanced.
He's fine.
Alchemist's Ring is the only thing that really needs a nerf.
Which killer can find Survivors easily just by using addons?
-The Blight
-Survivors are waiting for corrupt to end and the killer has either compund 21(that reveals their aura) or compund 33 that shows that they are hindered.
You just go to corrupted gens and find someone because you see their aura because of stupid addon or the compound 33 status on top right. Literally free hit because of it.
If you're saying "He's fine"
Have some valid point at least.
Add-ons are meant to be a buff item, Just like items for survivors which has no downside at all.
Hug tech is an intended mechanic now, BHVR said it.
He is a pretty much mindgame oriented killer, you just can't run like a braindead rat like you can do with other killers.
Any killers can hit survivor when they are not even on the screen.
Playing blight is certainly hard, because otherwise survivors should know at least some counters for him, so people like you won't happen to exist.
Hug tech is an intended mechanic now, BHVR said it.
Show me where they said that it is otherwise your source is (trust me because i said it)
One of the clips that I found https://streamable.com/h8rao5 https://streamable.com/bqlz2v (blight is certainly hard)

"Which killer can find Survivors easily just by using addons?"
Doc! Wait, Nurse! No wait, Twins, oh Hag has something like that too. Also literally any killer using bbq. Reveal is not a difficult mechanic to find.
"-Survivors are waiting for corrupt to end and the killer has either compund 21(that reveals their aura) or compund 33 that shows that they are hindered."
What, like standing around the corrupted gen? Why would they do that instead of go find one that isn't? At that point, I don't think the add-on is what is causing the issue.
"You just go to corrupted gens and find someone because you see their aura because of stupid addon or the compound 33 status on top right. Literally free hit because of it."
Literally still have to chase down and catch them for the hit, so isn't free. Also again, why are they standing around one of the 3 corrupted gens and not going to one of the 4 open ones? And as I previously pointed out, more than half the killer roster has the ability to easily find you if you are going to sit around a corrupted gen picking your nose...
If your issue is "this killer can easily find me while I'm sitting around watching a corrupted gen". That's not something we can balance around. Don't wait for corrupt intervention to end, go to an unblocked gen.
Could I even change your mind?
Probably not. Your original post screams bias.
Exactly, that’s why if I get downed by a blight or see my teammates go down by a blight exploiting I don’t see it as a loss or even an outplay, it’s just the killer using an exploit that shouldn’t even be possible.
Except it's not an exploit because we all know the devs fix Killer exploits in under 24 hours.
Just because YOU think it's an exploit does not mean the game should be changed to fit your opinion. The Survivor Rulebook For Killers is not real.
I’m not the only one who “Thinks” it’s an exploit, I know it’s an exploit and many others do as well too so…
Congrats; you're all wrong. Saying 'A bunch of us think it's an exploit' does not turn it into an exploit. The power of groupthink does not work here.
If you miss every rush but land the last one, you still get Alc Ring. It also eliminates the Survivors being able to run away.
Adrenaline Vial and Shredded Notes have downsides and even at their nuttiest, cannot eliminate Survivors running away.
I'm not even going to argue with you on this.
I can't honestly believe someone thinks Alchemist's Ring is okay.
Please try using some logic here, you spawn on bot side on suffocation pit as the Blight, logically they will not spawn mid or bot, they will spawn on the top side. You rush to top side and you can just find someone with compound, hiding at corrupted gens or not, hiding behind a rock, slowly moving to bot/mid, its dumb and should be removed.
Trust me its not an exploit my source is (trust me)
Holy, it was an example but whatever. No proper arguments. "Literally still have to chase down and catch them for the hit, so isn't free."
I don't think you're even thinking properly about what I said.
Bet you also think that j flick, z flick, lag flick, hug tech was intended mechanic.
Looping wasn't an intended mechanic, yet here we are.
You might want a stronger argument.
Why are you replying, your only argument was He's okay. Gonna ignore you now.
Okay, do that and prove me right.
"Doc! Wait, Nurse! No wait, Twins, oh Hag has something like that too. Also literally any killer using bbq. Reveal is not a difficult mechanic to find."
Since when does a nurse have a reveal addon? Do you mean the one where survivor screams? Who even uses that? I am talking about addons and you go from powers to perks ???????????????????????????????????
T - L + hug tech + compound 21, no way to mindgame that.
I am done with you too, still no one proved me wrong.
An example of balanced addons has Hillbilly. The only problem is the overheat.
I thought you had quit DBD?
It's easy to believe you are always correct when you abjectly refuse to consider any new information. It doesn't make you right, but if it makes you happy, go on ahead and believe it.
If a simple reveal mechanic has you this much in arms, (to where you are misattributing my statements to others, and completely failing to appreciate my masterful puns) I'd hate to see what you would do facing a competent doctor main, lol. Fact is, over half the roster has a way to reveal survivors, and blight's isn't any more powerful than the rest. You can learn to play against him, but I gather you find it far more rewarding to claim he is impossible to face
Things can be good without being overpowered. Blight’s base kit/add-ons like Blighted Crow and Rat are that. There are things that can be good and overpowered. Alchemist Ring is like that. Just cause it’s good doesn’t inherently make it need a downside attached to it, such as add-ons, if the benefit isn’t overpowered.
Killer and Solo Q yeah.
I'll only play if my friends ask me to, which they do.
What does that have to do with anything? Does I not get an opinion anymore?
No, I was just curious. Was surprised to see you on. Figured you had completely dropped DbD, the way your last message sounded.
Haven't touched it on my own except for one time to see DMS.
So far, I do not regret my decision. I haven't been booted in a while AND I can turn my messages on.
The devs itself already stated its not a exploit,McLean,the guy behind Blight,said he had hugtech in mind already
I never said that he is impossible to face, I am stating facts. You are just poor blight main that will cry when his unbalanced addons will get nerfed. You can come scrim.
Your source "trust me"
Both engravings, LoPro Chains, Punctured muffler, Mothers helpers combined with spirit fury + enduring.
Nope, not a blight main, (doc actually, on the rare times I play as killer anymore) but thanks for proving my point.
You can come with your doctor too, idc.
Blight is alright, couple of his add ons are a bit broken, but then theyre add ons so i agree they should give an advantage.
I have more of an issue when hes able to turn around 2 corners and do stuff the devs obviously didnt design for him to do. Hes meant to be a straight line pin ball with a limited turn angle. He becomes broken when he can turn round 2 corners of shack, get in the door and still hit you. 😅
The sliding is literally intended by McLean (his literal creator) though. He explicitly has mentioned he wants Blight to be able to pick when to slam and slide.
As I said, mothers helpers with spirit fury and enduring. (it's literally power bulb after you get stunned)
And if you dont wanna run lopro chains or double engraving you can run green engraving with muffler.
Lol Blight is definitely not a no brain killer, even with his good addons. He's definitely not easy to master.
Of course, some of his addons need to be nerfed, and his exploits should be removed as well.
On the other hand, it would be awesome if they could actually make his collision work reliably, without him sliding off of certain objects and getting stuck in certain areas.
His lung hit box is also fine. He needs it because of his lower turn rate while lunging. Survivors can even dodge his lunge if they play it right and don't get screwed by connection, although that is very situational.
Making it harder to hit survivors with his lunge would not be a good idea at all. if the hitbox width would be decreased, the turn rate of Blight's lunge would have to be increased as well.
sliding is literally an intentional feature.
