How The Devs Could Save Eruption.
Make it a Gen blocking Perk. Survivors know when their teammates are in chase by looking at their fancy new hud. They shouldn’t be spoon fed every crumb of information.
Or they can just buff some other perks that can help out the current Gen Regress perks without stacking them. We have plenty of terrible perks that could be used. Oppression? Trail of Torment? Even Thrilling Tremors? If they just did a massive buff of a lot of different perks that could lead to better builds then This wouldn’t hurt so bad.

Do you realize Eruption works on a down, not on a chase? And yes they're different concepts. Survivors can be downed out of chase, or not be downed while in chase.
Yes they need to be spoon fed every crumb of information. Because of the usual "solo queue weak" bla bla bla. Windows Of Opportunity basekit next probably.
Not every single time however. Most downs are started with a chase outside of a few exceptions like Ghostface blitzing you or if a killer grabs you off a Gen.
Brave of you assuming the devs would even want to save eruption XD
That's half of what I said. The other half is that a chase doesn't equal a down. Survivors don't know when a teammate goes down WITHIN that chase window. Which means that the chase information itself is immaterial.
Dude, they wanted to nerf the regression/slowdown part of the perk. Blocking a gen for how many seconds+regression is still way more reward on a single perk than any other perk and singlehanded made the 3 gen strategy busted.
I hated eruption, i even refused to use the perk as killer just because i hated it so much.
But even i say that the nerf is too far and they can at least keep the flat 10% regression. I think that is a way less risky change that people could ask and the devs could listen and change before going live.
It took months for the devs to make this change to the perk, so complaining about it by asking to rework the perk is probably just not gonna happen, it could just be impossible to release in time for the update (that is even assuming that the gen block version that people ask wouldn't still be broken, which we don't know and can only think)
