Scratched Mirror needs a Buff

After seeing the new perk from the PTB, this has gotten me to think about Scratched Mirror and the state it's currently in. It needs a buff due to the fact in the current state of the game, it has gone from being a fun little meme add-on to just unusable in its entirety.

The only change that this add-on needs is simple:

  • While running Scratched Mirror, your movement speed is increased by 10% while not in chase and by 5% while in chase. The latter effect is disabled once the Exit Gates are opened.

This would make using the add-on feel so much better for map traversal and the inevitability of a chase since that is bound to happen once people figure out you're running this add-on.

Not just that, but it directly counters the perks that can either make it worse, or mitigate its effect entirely (see Hope, Dark Theory and Made for This), and overall makes him significantly scarier to play against and more fun to play as.

Comments

  • Scratched Mirror has never been good really, there's a reason it's always paired with a specific build and map offering. I think it would be better if the Developers buffed the Tier 1 Movement Speed instead.

  • Killer meme builds are sort of a thing of the past its ashame I think i have seen 1 in about a year now. Being to slow an waiting while seeing through walls doesn't really work with the current state of the game which is get out the door as fast as possible.
