Survivor Team Nerf
Hi everyone! This is my first post and after almost 600 hours of playing both killer and survivor, I would say I fully enjoy playing, especially with the new updates and patches, however one problem have been bugging me for a while, that being the strength of survivor teams. Seeing how solo survivors have got buffs over the past few patches, I would like to see some changes come to the other side, survivor groups, that being said I wouldn’t want to ruin the survivor groups fun so I don’t think a overhaul like the solo survivors. If I could, I would like to two suggests that, I think, would be a decent idea on how to bring the power of survivor groups close to the power of solo survivors. I would suggest that if a survivor at is a part of the group equips a perk, for example, Dead Hard, the other survivors in that group cannot equip the same perk. Hopefully, if this were to be added, this could address to growing issues of “bully squads” by reducing the number of repeated perks often seen in survivor groups while offering the opportunity to help the group with unique and otherwise more healthy build options. As for the killer, this would also offer some peace of mind knowing that everyone in the group has the same perk, Deliverance, for example, while giving the killer the chance to witness and play against different builds and unique play styles of the survivor groups. After playing for a while, I’ve noticed that survivor groups love to bring the same items for example, purple toolboxes with a brand new part, being able to completely leave the killer overwhelmed by the amount of pressure on the generators, strong med kits, being able to heal within seconds. As for my second suggestion, I would like to see a limit placed on the survivor group item, ultimately leading to one type of item per survivor, for example, only one survivor in a group can have a med kit while another survivor has a toolbox. With this change, this would hopefully help the killer feel like they have a fighting chance against the survivor group while not having to worry about four brand new parts going off at once while leading towards a more fun match for both sides. My goal with these suggestions are not to ruin the experience or fun of the survivor groups, however, as things currently stand, I feel that survivor groups have the power to ruin the fun of unsuspecting killers just wanting to have a good time without feeling forced to run a full meta build just to counter this play style. I hope that whoever reads this doesn’t get the wrong idea and thinks that I hate the idea of survivor groups, I completely understand playing as a group and the fun that comes with it, I am just suggesting these ideas to bring more of a balanced experience not only for the killers but also for the survivors themselves. I would, lastly, like to apologize if at any moment this feels like me ranting, I truly love playing this game and I would love to see it in the best possible version it can be. Thank you so much for reading!
