Don't make killer's helpless during survivor pickup
Give us SOMETHING to defend ourselves during a survivor pickup so we don't have to worry about picking up a survivor only for another one to run from behind a tree and flashlight us making the entire chase POINTLESS.
If this makes the Flashlight a useless item then PERHAPS you should reconsider how it should be used...

Wall, Lightborn, new Plagues perk, look around for flashlight guy....
There
Let me break down why each and everyone of those suggestions is USELESS.
Wall:
The odds of downing a survivor next to a wall and being able to pick them up at that angle is SO RARE that this suggestion is pointless. PLUS most survivors are going to make sure they aren't near a wall when downed to AVOID THIS.
Lightborn:
Ultra Rare Flashlight and Ultra Rare Addons TRUMP THIS every single time. No survivor is going to run a flashlight without these knowing that when the killer sees them holding in the lobby they'll run Lightborn if they have it.
Infectious Fright:
A complete waste of a perk slot just for making sure a Flashlight user isn't hanging around a corner and nothing else.
Looking around for flashlight guy:
Sure, lets waste EVEN MORE time hunting in circles for someone who could possibly but most likely isn't there. A good survivor will make sure you don't know they are there until you go to pick up the survivor so this suggestion is POINTLESS.
Just face wall or fake pick up and rek saving guy.
There is no issue in here.
You CAN'T fake a pick up, the hell are you smoking? When you pick up a survivor you are FRAME LOCKED until you have them completely on your shoulder.
I pointed out possibilities.
You make it like this never happens. So i have an example:
You down someone on the pallet. Do you
A) pick them up right away
Or
b) see if no one is around to do a save
Going to pick up survivor and then not picking them up is called a "fake pick up"
New players might fall for that fakeout but a seasoned survivor is not going to fall for that. They are going to wait until they visually confirm the first frame of the killer's pick up animation before they run out to flashlight stun you.
I believe I already gave a suitable answer as to why this is pointless. You can say "Well, then its your fault for getting flashlight stunned." till your blue in the face but we BOTH KNOW that the more time you waste hunting for a survivor who MIGHT BE but most likely IS NOT there, the more time that is for gens to be completed, and even if they are, in any given location there are over 30 hiding places for them to be in and they can freely move between them due to the killer's reduced cone of vision.
@deathsia if they wait this long its usually too late without sprint burst unless they are in front. They know it and they keep falling for fakes because of this.
Then dodge flashlight lobbies if you dont want to use the tools that were given to you...
Sure, lets write off something that is completely out of the killer's control as "Not using the tools given to them." That's sound logic... wait no its not, that's the exact opposite of sound logic...what's the word for that again?
Oh right, stupid!
And no, I'm not calling YOU stupid, I'm calling what you JUST SAID stupid.
What is out of killers control exactly?
Ya know, I could just quote myself throughout this ENTIRE THREAD as why and how its out of the killer's control but I'm not going to bother.
If your goal was to derail this thread so far that the devs wouldn't even bother to take it seriously, congrats you succeeded.
Sorry you feel this way...
But how about you make some suggestions to the feeling of being helpless?
So you basically want them to delete flashlights.
There is a laundry list of counters to flashlights. You're just mad because you can't adapt. You've also kinda showed your hand here by shooting down what killers already do to counter flashlights. Which is extremely effective btw. They've also nerfed flashlights to the point they take much more skill than ever before.
You say its a waste of time to look around before picking up survivors because you're getting gen-rushed... now its obvious you just want to hear yourself talk.
Tunneling is out of a survivors control too, more so than getting stunned by a flashlight but i'm sure you still do it anyways. This whole thread is a waste of space.
If i was a Developer, I wouldn't take this thread seriously if my life depended on it. Learn to play.
Edit: I just stalked all your past comments and yeah. The developer is going to take you about as serious as Ochido.
At first I wasn't even going to reply this but... I'm sorry the chance to make someone else look like a moron who thinks they are all that and a bag of chips is too hard to resist.
90% of your posts are in favor of making survivors far more OP than they already are and about how OP killers are. This leads me to come to the conclusion that your one of those players who suck at the game and cling to the very few exploitable things you have left. Funny that.
Every single post you have made in regards to killers when suggesting a "buff" is actually a cleverly disguised nerf.
For example: Your conditional mori's thread is all about trying to limit/prevent the killer from ever being able to mori a survivor since every single condition you have mentioned allows survivors to pick and choose how to moriblock the killer.
Thought nobody would catch that, didn't you?
Also based on your posts, your the sort who rarely works with other survivors to escape often abandoning them at the first sign that they don't live up to your predefined "skill level".
Great player here folks. Five stars.
You are what's wrong with this player community. Please uninstall Dead By Daylight before you ruin another survivors game by leaving them for dead.
@deathsia "Survive Together… Or Not - Survivors can either cooperate with the others or be selfish. Your chance of survival will vary depending on whether you work together as a team or if you go at it alone. Will you be able to outwit the Killer and escape their Killing Ground?"
And once again:
YOU CANT FIX A FLAWED DESIGN BY BRINGING A PERK
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH PERKSLOTS
=)
Tell that to Devs
Bamboozle, Corrupt Intervention, Haunted Grounds, MYC, BBQ
Lightborn is actually a strong counter to UR addons. Gives you time to tilt you head up to keep them from getting a full blind that makes you the survivor. Also Odd Bulb is bugged and doesn't blind at the speed it should so right now that UR is actually useless.
Didn't they change Odd Bulb (and all flashlights) that they "blind stun" at the same time but you can change the brightness?
