Lights Out gets worse every time
The entire appeal of Lights Out was it being entirely skill based and you using your map knowledge, tracking skills, and basic object permanence, to outwit and beat the other side. The whole point of this event was to bring back the feel of old dbd by removing any and all information provided to the players.
However, with the most recent iteration of the event survivors have gotten Windows of Opportunity, which has turned all of my games into run to yellow and pre drop with the increased gen speeds. And during my survivor games killers have been holding 3 gens and playing Legion in order to get map wide aura reading.

skill issue for me no doubt but its a really hard mode for killer. you get absolutely no assistance (other than no tr) and if you injure a survivor they turn a corer and run 5 feet and vanish by the time your cooldown lifts.
Ive been playing deathslinger and while there are benefits to lights out with his his spear you have the hit slowdown and the reload as well to deal with so i couldnt actually have chases because i feel like they toned down the audio immensely because i cant really hear injured survs which is my only way to track them if they dont have a lantern.
but id accept the lanterns if they didnt tell you where the nearest unfinished gen is.(or wasnt freely available to you the entire match) that is incredibly powerful and goes against the spirit of the mode in my opinion. trying to find gens should be part of the experience.
