Developer update - all good changes except…

No reverting the unnecessary Self Care nerf?

and nothing on Circle of Healing?

I actually cannot wrap my head around why Self Care was nerfed and Circle of Healing was untouched?…

Let me get this straight? A 4 man team having infinite fast heals all game is fine, but a Claudette taking 5 minutes to heal in the corner of the map is overpowered?

Who’s more likely to run CoH and make use of it? A SWF

Who’s more likely to run self care? A solo queue player

This change seems like nothing but a nerf to solo queue whilst not addressing the power of a SWF, it’s all backwards I tells ya!

  • They don’t balance based on what is too powerful, they balance based on what is used the most. It's truly baffling.

  • Clearly, Self-Care is incredibly overpowered. Getting all those killers the win.

    They said that the update was aimed at a meta change, specifically.

    ... Not like this community knows what is "too powerful" anyways.

  • Run bond, it's more fun.

  • Gather data from an entire year.

    Compare usages of a perk that has been around for 12 months and one that's been around for 3 months

    "Oh, Self-Care must be OP Meta because it's used in so many more games than Circle of Healing!"

  • Why can I never find these updates? It's like they hide it.

    this update is about buffing killers, and butchering the solo survivor.

  • I am more upset they are going with the nerf to Calm Spirit #JusticeForCalmSpirit

  • Self Care is underrated by some people. There’s a reason it was the fifth most used perk in the highest player brackets even after Circle of Healing became a thing. Basically the ability to partially heal anytime you have any moments of time that you aren’t or can’t safely do a gen is quite good. That’s why the perk still saw heavy use despite the perception by some people that “Circle of Healing completely replaced it”.

  • Forget the self care nerf. The calm spirit nerf was left unchanged.
