Dev's plz answer this one (2)
What the downside when a survivor is an obsession without the killer use any of their perk (DS, MOM, OoO...). If they lose nothing then get rip of this and just tell the killer this person have this x perk as you do with every hex perk in the game.

The devs for some reason think being the obsession is a downside to the survivors. Bar the killer just happening to be running a couple specific perks it has no downsides. Not to mention those couple perks aren't meta and very rarely ran in the first place. It does need an actually downside at base as there isn't really anything negative about being the obsession currently.
If ANYTHING I'd even say there's actually more positives to being the obsession.
There's only two good survivor Obsession perks (MoM and DS) and two good Killer Obsession perks (Remember Me and STBFL). Being the obsession could be bad with Remember Me or good with STBFL.
They are just gravitating toward it being a potential core factor in the game rather than something innately good or bad for survivors...
Remember Me is not a good killer obsession perk, it is currently trash.
"They are just gravitating toward it being a potential core factor in the game rather than something innately good or bad for survivors..."
I would agree however the devs have been quoted stating otherwise. They said that it is supposed to be a downside and survivors should be scared being the obsession.
Object of Obsession is a great perk if you're playing SWF. You can see the killers location and inform your teammates. Only downside is they can see you too but you'll know they're coming at you since you can see them so you can start running early.
I still like it. But no worries, MoM will be joining it in the trash bin.
Yeah, but they said that years ago, lol.
Not quite. They stated this just a few months ago during the DS rework.
I'd rather MoM not end up in the trash pile, but that's kind of the devs own fault for designing a perk very poorly to begin with. If they had asked any red rank players about that perk before hand they would've been told how unhealthy of a design it was.
It's a troll perk that is completely unviable in most situations. More people just it to teabag than to actually gather information.
@Blueberry Oh. Well, that's clearly a lie then.
Being the obsession is a positive in like 90% of the games people will play. Simply because everyone will know when you're in a chase or not because of the spider legs. Plus -
Almost all the survivor obsession perks are amazing. Only bad one is Sole Survivor.
Almost all the killer obsession perks are bad. Only good one is save the best for last, and that actually makes it safer to be the obsession.
There needs to be a good killer perk that punishes people for being the obsession for it to be a scary thing. Or something else that would make someone not want to be the obsession. Currently its just a bonus and good to have one on the team so you get that extra information.
The reason i post this and i want the answer from the devs is because soon will we have to perks that change the obsession ( DS AND furtive chase). Right the survivors don't lose anything to be the obsession but instead, they gain more. The furtive chase can't work with any other obsession perk because either you have to hit the non-obsession survivors or you have to let the obsession leave ( remember me lose all the stack one you change obsession so it's useless).
Ps, I will post this again at let we get an answer from the devs.
