Buff Shoulder The Burden
Slight ragebait title, but we're talking about the nerfed version here.
For those of you that don't know, shoulder the burden will change in the following way:
It can only be used by 1 survivor. Then it disables for all. After using Shoulder, the survivor using it will gain weakness for 120 seconds instead of exposed (aka, using it while unharmed injures you)
A youtuber questioned about how they could possible make it so that the perk doesn't become completely useless for all the other survivors using it, which I do think is a fair point.
That is why I'll suggest the following:
After a survivor gets Shouldered, all other survivors who run Shoulder the Burden will see the aura of deathhook survivors for the remainder of the match.
This simple change helps make the perk feel just valuable enough for the many people who will equip duplicates of it unintentionally in soloQ, yet allow it to continue to exist as a balanced perk of which main effect can only be triggered once throughout an entire match.
As an altruistic player who loves running Shoulder, but also acknowledging that a 4 stacked Shoulder SWF is completely broken, I think this change would help make shoulder feel like its in a healthier place, and also make us Shoulder players satisfied that the new change wouldn't just be a one way exclusive nerf, but also have other positive sides to look forward to ❤️
