Really BHVR

I liked most of the changes for the perks but i noticed that they didnt nerf killer perks just Prove theyself. How funny. I knew one day it was obviously gonna get nerfed but it feels a little out of place when you look at the other perks in this update. There are plenty of killer perks that couldve been nerfed. I think its kinda dumb to nerf a perk because its used so much but this is dead by daylight and thats what happens here. So jolt couldve gotten a cool down but didnt. Even though its the most used killer perk right now. And im not sure if its a bug or a shadow buff but everytime it pops it makes the survivor scream. And no it wasnt eruption im 100% sure its just jolt. They "nerfed" pain res and its still one of the top used perks by killers. They had alot of perks to choose from to nerf for killers but i guess thats being saved for the meta shakeup. Lastly to top it off they took the bonus bloodpoints away from prove as well. Was that really necessary?

Shaking up the perk meta seems to be the current trend on both sides; Survivors getting it a bit heavier as of late, what with MoM, OoO, DS, DH, CoH, all receiving butchering beyond worthwhile build-worthy usefulness. ProoveThyself, and soon Spine Chill overall player usage will be halved, or possibly greater.

Nerfing BnP and ProoveThyself is arguably a lazy attempt at saving face after the recent healing nerfs have forced a response to the “GenRush” pushback.

But both of those killer perks are fine, jolt still has a basic attack drawback and pain res had its cap so you cannot cycle hooks. Perks dont need to be nerfed just because they are the most used, otherwise it is just a repeating cycle. If we went by this logic, windows needs too be nerfed for sure, but is it op? of course not.

Now that you write it, I have to correct my statement (that no Killer Perk currently needs a Nerf). Because I would agree on that. Or, to be more precise - I dont think that one single Perk (or Add On) should cause both Mangled AND Hemorrhage. It should be either slower healing OR heal regression, not both at the same time (with one Perk/Add On).

hemorrhage on it's own is pretty bad i don't think anyone would run an addon that only does hemorrhage.

before its buff it was useless but people still used sloppy for the mangled sperating the two effects only makes it so killers get more trash addons than they already do.

Yeah. Getting rid of hook grabs is a way bigger nerf than all the survivor nerfs combined.

And the killer perk buffs were a joke. Does anyone at BHVR honestly think those changes could affect the meta? What was the point?

Pop is good now you just need to get hooks. Try it out. Decent survivors easily countered hooks graps already but they do have more time to stick on gens definetely and do the save later. But it's going help more average or bad survivors who leave the save last second. I do think killers will get compensation buff but still instadown killers and huntress can still camp as good as ever. So the buff might not be very big.
