Grim Embrace
People don't understand and need to hear me very clearly. Grim embrace with other gen slowdown perks; be it DMS, pain res, etc will be unbearable. It will be the next eruption where you can't do anything or progress the game when another survivor gets punished.
And I have a feeling especially for solo q players, it will be taken advantage of with proxy campers. 16 m is line where the anti face camping does not work. And once a killer gets the notification that all gens are blocked, they can just sit there and get a free 12 seconds for the survivor on hook to rot. This can lead to solo q players thinking they should either stay at the gen and let their team8 rot for 12s for free or save and do a hook trade against proxy campers.
I'm honestly hoping that it doesn't cause more unbearable playstyles back during eruption meta. And will be coming back to give more feedback once ptb is released. How does everyone feel about it?

How exactly is that better than Pain resonance?
It's perk that promotes going for different survivors (not tunneling). How can this ever be a bad thing?
I wonder how it is going to work with DMS. That could be fun combo.
This is nothing like old Eruption.
If I want to camp, I will use Deadlock. That's way better for this.
I said it's combo is just too strong where one side can't do anything to progress the game. The same is happening with ftp and buckle up where it's out of your control. With deadlock, at least you can go to another gen and work on it. Here, it forces the other 3 to not progress the game at all. And if the killer knows that they aren't doing anything, then they can just proxy camp the hook. Tunneling isn't the issue here for me. It's combination of other perks that makes proxy camping stronger while receiving benefits from a pain res hook and forcing hook trades throughout the first half of the match
Literally first thing at the game rewarding killer for spreading hooks and no tunneling and people are crying EVEN THERE.
Things that promote to hook different people SHOULD be strong enough to replace tunneling, which is only available strategy if you play to win not against potatoes.
Grim Embrace is only thing that hyped me in this patch and if you guys will whine enough to its nerf after PTB, i mean, all tunneling in the world is what you are completely deserve.
There is nothing wrong with voicing our concerns over a perk. That's what ptb is for. Regardless, people are gonna do what they wanna do. People still tunnel even with pain res. But at least the other side can do something against it be it, sabotage or get right back on the gen. Grim embrace does not fit that. And it will force the other side to do nothing at all or go for a save. Which can be abused by proxy campers in solo q. We still gonna see tunneling killers anyways running pain res/pop/ and most likely with Grim embrace anyways. We see that even now with the 1st 2 perks respectively.
