Returning to the game

So, I've recently come back to the game after a roughly year and a half break, what's the important stuff I need to be brought up to speed on?

    Ok buckle up:

    • MMR = supposed to give you fairer matches, but prefers shorter queues over fair matches
    • Grades = together with the MMR, the Ranks disappeared and were replaced by grades. You can earn bloodpoints at the rank reset, depending on what grade you reached.
    • Boons = basically Hex perks for survivors. But they can be relight as often as there are still totems around. Extremely stong.
    • Scourge Hooks = perks that create special hooks, which cause a effect when you hook survivors on them.

    We hate dead hard more than any other perk at the moment. Followed by Circle of Healing, a Mikaela perk.

    It's surpassed the DS-Unbreakable combo? did that get changed in some way?

    • Skill Based Matchmaking and Grades
    • Hatch now only spawns when 1 survivor is alive
    • Boon Perks and Scourge Hooks
    • Hit Validation
    • Survivor Model Reworks
    • Haddonfield and Coldwind Farm Reworks

    That's all of the Major Changes to the game, not including the new content and specific killer updates.

    Thanks for the summary

    Good to know, how do the Scourge Hooks compare to the average perk?

    Well we only have 3. They are all fine to use but pain resonance is a meta perk.

    Oh that combo still exists. Nothing changed in that regard. Its just that Circle of Healing is a Boon perk, that creates an area where every survivor can heal themselves. Even those that don´t have that perk.

    Tbh, even with Pain Resonance being meta, none of the Scourge Hook perks are really game changers. At least not in comparison to boons.

    DS gets disabled if you sneeze. Or, to be more precise - if you do anything (Totems, Gens, Healing other players).

    And then they moved to the next thing, which is DH. After DH gets nerfed, there will be a new topic.

    Devs stats showed that the DS nerf didn´t affect the escape rates. DH nerf isn´t official yet. Just some people that wish for it. But that doesn´t really mean much.
