Suggestion for Thanatophobia change/ rework (focus on plague and legion)

My Idea to keep Thanatophobia viable while also adressing the ez value that plague and legion get from it:


Thanatophobia:

Their courage fades in the face of their undeniable mortality.

Each time you hit a Survivor with a Basic Attack, Thanatophobia gains 1 Token, up to a maximum of 4 Tokens.

Each time a Survivor is healed from Injured to Healthy State, Thanatophobia loses 1 Token.

Each token afflicts Survivors with a stack-able 2/3/4 % Action Speed penalty to Repairing, Sabotaging, and Cleansing, up to a maximum of 8/12/16 %.

"She plays with us and revels in our pain."


This way, Thanatophobia can still provide viable slowdown with a little bit nerfed numbers compared to old thana (pre 6.1.2/6.1.3) while making it so legion and plague can't just easily stab/ infect all 4 players and get full thana value.

Thoughts and opinions are very welcome. Mods and Devs especially <3

    That's certainly a better solution than making it worthless for every killer except the two killers that it was already unbearable on.

    Ok, so in other words, you want to just revert Thanatophobia back to what it was, but describe it in a more complicated way 😂

    The idea is to give it decent value for all killers, without giving maximum value to Legion and Plague for simply existing.

    I mean, yeah. I don't disagree with you. But you could've just said "Make Thanatophobia 16% again" lol

    The 16% is just a suggestion, that can be changed to whatever. Though I think the current 2% per injured person is too weak to justify running this perk, with only a single survivor needing to heal to get rid of the bonus. The main feature of my suggestion was the token system/ basic attacks.

    Btw 16% on the new 90s gens means an extra 17s while pre 6.1 thana meant 20% on an 80s gen resulting in 20s extra, which means, even 16% with new 90s gens would be a nerf compared to pre 6.1.
