It's funny how they're nerfing sprint burst when it's one of the worst perk in the game and the REAL annoying perk I constantly see in every killer match is "windows of opportunity + lithe" . If they really cared about quality of life for killers they'd nerf those. But ig people just can't play without them.

Yeah… you kinda lost me whe you said that sprintburst is one of the worst perks in the game.
Brings me back to the time when people tried to defend old dead hard because its just a small distance boost.
Windows is another candidate which people try to defend by claiming that only survivors which are new or learning the map are using but we all know that it has much more potential than "learning".
Lithe on the other hand is kinda fine because it has a massive drawback which I personally don´t like at all. All the time I try to use it it triggers at the worst moment. Like I try to loop at a safe jungle gym and… I wasted my haste or I am in a much worse tile after using it.
Please send all the windows of opportunity users to me. It's a perk that doesn't increase gen speeds, doesn't give endurance, doesn't give haste, doesn't cause a stun or blind, and doesn't actually make the survivor any better in chase. It is a good perk for learning map layouts and knowing with certainty whether or not a teammate used a resource.
Yeah its just a perk that without comms gives you the exact position where you can safely loop the killer all the time. Not wasting time to look behind the corner if the Baby Meg dropped a god pallet in the first 2 seconds of the game.
No one had a problem with old Windows which did exactly the same btw just a cooldown but weirdly it wasn´t used that much. Maybe and just maybe it is just to safe to tell good players where to go for a walk with their dog… I mean Killer.
Sprint Burst is one of the best Perks in the game. But dont worry, Lithe will be the next one which is complained about. First simply because the goalpost has to be moved further. And second, because people will switch to Lithe instead of Sprint Burst.
Which is funny, because overall I think that Sprint Burst has a bit more skill expression than Lithe. Sure, it does not have any activation requirements, but 99ing your Sprint Burst is still more skillful than just using Lithe.
When it comes to Windows… People really need to stop thinking that this Perk is any issue. Even if it is just because it is the most popular Survivor Perk, only people should complain about it being popular if they are also willing to get Pain Res nerfed, which is even more popular… Not that I think that either of them needs Nerfs.
But all WoO does is show which Pallets are used. If you play long enough, you dont need it to know the general placement of Pallets. And IMO when playing Killer, I see a big difference between someone who is just a yellow aura gamer and someone who actually knows how to run me around. The former will go down quickly, despite WoO. The latter will give me a hard time, regardless if they have WoO or not.
Sprint Burst is one of the best perks in the game. Theres a reason i use it because i'm a smart quanton.
Like as a killer main by just using windows of opportunity when I barely play survivor I can loop the killer for multiple gens, you might say low mmr but I am equally as bad and they do know the basics well of the killer power they are using, WoO is basically just an auto looping mode and five moves ahead is technically better at teaching but it's not as much because it can go on cooldown while WoO doesn't.
I've always found sprint burst a funny one. Imo it's a decent perk but very overrated. Unless you are supremely good at chewing through exhaustion during a chase then SB only helps you right at the start of the chase, and just lets you reach a safe tile or sometimes just discourage the killer from chasing you.
Meanwhile you have to impose slowdown on yourself by walking everywhere for the whole match. Meaning you waste time reaching gens, or more importantly when you go for unhooks if you want to save your sb for chases.
Imo lithe is the best exhuastion perk, easy to trigger with a certain amount of choice to when you use it, plus it synergises super well with a couple of other perks like dance with me and quick and quiet to help you confuse the killer and make distance or escape chase entirely.
