I Love The End Game Collapse, But...
I think they really dropped the ball on a lot of the changes they made regarding balance around perks/killers and such related to the end game. The nerf to Pig was completely uncalled for. So what if it made her end game play potential stronger? A small buff to Pig wouldn't have broken the game. And let's be honest, it would have been a small buff. If a survivor with a RBT couldn't get out in 3 minutes then they probably weren't getting out anyway.
The nerf to Remember Me was uncalled for as well. The end game collapse doesn't start until an exit gate is opened or the hatch is closed by the killer. If an exit gate is opened then what does the penalty to opening an exit gate have to do with end game collapse? The answer is nothing. That means the only situation where Remember Me would be any stronger than it previously was is when there is only 1 survivor left (that isn't the obsession) and the killer closes the hatch. And yes, that last survivor would be pretty screwed. So what? If the killer spent a precious perk slot for Remember Me, stacked up a bunch of hits on the obsession, killed the obsession and 2 other survivors, and found the hatch before the last remaining survivor then I think that killer earned his/her 4 kills.
Left Behind is a missed opportunity as well. It was already a useless perk. Nothing has changed. If you are the last remaining survivor the hatch is automatically an option now. If you find it first then grats on your escape. If not then the killer will close the hatch and finishing gens is irrelevant. In what world is the last survivor alive going to continue working on generators? It doesn't matter how large the bonus repair speed is. This is what they should have done with Left Behind:
Left Behind- When you are the last remaining survivor you can see the aura of the hatch if you are within 12/16/20 meters. You can also open exit gates 10/20/30% faster.
Neither of those things would guarantee an escape, but considering how narrow the perk is that seems fair.
TLDR: Revert the changes to the Pig and Remember Me. Change Left Behind to "When you are the last remaining survivor you can see the aura of the hatch if you within 12/16/20 meters. You can also open exit gates 10/20/30% faster."
Comments
Left Behind would be good enough with the hatch changes. Wake Up! already exists for the exit gates.
Don't defend Left Behind. No survivor with 2 brain cells to rub together would use it. Wake Up could use a buff too.
... I'm not? I said your hatch changes would make Left Behind good enough without the other buffs
Sorry, your comment was ambiguous. When you said hatch changes I thought you were referring to the hatch spawning even if no generators were done. And yes, the hatch aura is more important than the exit gate opening. But there is no way you could dedicate 2 perk slots to Left Behind and Wake Up. Given how narrow they both are, they both could use work.
