Generator Repair Speed Reductions need to be capped.

I think debuffs to repair speed need to be capped out at 30%

In a vacuum there's nothing wrong with Dying Light, Thanatophobia, Scourge Hook: Gift of Pain, and Hex: Pentimento but being able to combine them to reach nonsensical levels of repair slowdown is well, dumb.

Using a combination of Dying Light, Thanatophobia, and/or Gift of Pain to reach 30% is fine.

Using just Hex: Pentimento to immediately reach 30% is fine because of its nature as a Hex Perk.

But the ease of use when combining Thanatophobia or Dying Light (or god forbid both) with a Hex: Plaything/Pentimento combo is just a miserable experience for survivors, and I say this as a killer who loves Plague and Legion and who has experimented with such a build.

    As long as buffs get capped at +100%

    No. There doesn't need to be any kind of trade off here for some kind of false equivalence. 30% is as a cap on slowdown is fine.

    Stupidly fast heals need to be slowed down, 8s is perfectly fine at max

    All of that stuff has clear and present counterplay that you simply don't want to engage with.

    I did and it's just the same bland complaints I've seen since day one of the patch from people who are unwilling or incapable of changing their loadouts.

    It should be capped at 40% imo. Regression perks shouldn’t really synergise especially ones that just slow down repair times

    I don't think any one of these perks is unfair in a vacuum, and if you want to combine Dying Light and Thanatophobia that's fine. But a 30% cap on slowdown is not going to ruin these perks or prevent combinations of them.

    I mean, ultimately people just replace those with perks like call of brine, which can results in literal infinite seconds to finish a gen.

    You're going to lose games if you seriously go out of your way just to cleanse plaything anyways. Literally 0 point unless you're on an indoor map

    Playthings will get cleansed. That's why I use it. Even if the person whose totem it is doesn't cleanse it, after awhile someone else will. Then, Pentimento.

    Even worse when someone throws the game (DC's or gives up early game)
