So the STBFL update I don't think worked the way the devs intended
So you lose stacks with special attacks now simple enough makes sense...it doesn't work full on insta down killers or killers with insta down add-ons.
"But for someone like Huntress her insta-down add-on reduces her hatchets to one." You have me there sure but image a Huntress with STBFL who's skilled at her and somehow has Skilled Huntress on playstation(seriously they need to fix that problem 100 times? Really?) But example Clown good old Kenneth his insta-down add-on sure reduces his bottles to one but he has the old Huntress thing where an add-on increases it.
Now let's move on to the other four Hillbilly,Leatherface,Ghostface and Michael(Hi I'm Michael I'm new here) this killers all have insta-down abilities though Michael's needs a little grinding but with these insta-down abilities they lose only two tokens not four as the obsession would lose two health states automatically.
Anyways to cut it short basically the update was supposed to get rid of special attacks only on the obsession without BHVR realizing it doesn't effect insta-down killers as much mostly giving them a pinch instead of a slap.

I don't understand your post, are you saying Huntress with STBFL is overpowered?
As for the other 4 Killers, since they have an instant down ability, chances are they won't be getting a lot of STBFL stacks as well if they are using said ability. The only justification would be for Ghostface and maybe Myers/Leatherface to some extent.
Thats always how it worked, exposed effects loses 2 stacks, just like exposed hits only gain 1 stack. It wouldn't really be a fair change for instant down effects to lose 4 stacks, when they don't even gain stacks as well thats just a lame perk at that point and we already got a pile of those so lets not add to it.
On top of the fact that if a killer is using stbfl there is a near 0 chance they are playing an instant down killer
Not saying Huntress with STBFL is overpowered
If someone is skilled with Huntress they won’t be getting any use out of STBFL. And her cool-down from hatchets is already very close to max STBFL stacks, and with add ons a hatchet hit is shorter than STBFL. Same with Hillbilly.
It was the completely wrong way to nerf the perk though. The only killers this change even affected were Demo, Slinger, Nemi, and Pig. And none of them were an issue even with STBFL. Maybe they wanted to change it so they didn’t have to balance future killers around it or so they could buff those killers I listed without having STBFL possibly being an issue? Or maybe they just saw it had a high pick rate and decided to nerf it. Who knows.
Complaining about insta down killers with STBFL?
Why would anyone use STBFL on them? You need to go out of your way to make STBFL work and that takes a lot longer than simply using the insta down. You nerf yourself. Badly.
It's for those pesky moments when you need to chainsaw a person twice just to be safe, lol
