Dying Light Tweak
Hi so I wanted to start this thread off by saying I LOVE the new Dying Light its so fun to use and honestly is one of my new favorite killer perks! BUT I think it needs a tiny buff not to the number per say but one that'll just make it a tiny bit more viable all throughout!
- Dying Light: You become obsessed with one survivor. Your obsession gains a 33% action speed bonus to unhooking and healing other survivors. Each time you hook a Survivor other than the Obsession, if the Obsession is alive, gain a token. If the Obsession is alive, all Survivors who are not the Obsession get a 2%/2.5%/3% penalty to Repair, Healing and Sabotage speed for each token. After the obsession dies lose 6/5/4 tokens. The obsession shares half of the debuff gained by the survivors.
So with this basically it makes it so even after the obsession dies a small debuff is applied! Plus the obsession shares half the debuff so example if you have 4 tokens and each survivor has a 12% debuff the obsession has a 6% debuff! What do you guys think on the idea ^-^

It does punish survivors harshly, and pairs well with Myers' other perks almost perfectly.
I've disliked the old one because it was self-contradicting. 2 of myers perks incentivized "Saving the best for last" and paired nicely with play with your food. But the old dying light is like that ONE single dubious food dish with 2 perfectly made dishes. It made no sense, 2 perks incentivized leaving the obsession alone...
But old dying light incentivized chasing the obsession with absolutely no mercy and kill them now or suffer harshly.
The new one lightens the load on the obsession while still slowing the game down significantly without needing to lay a finger on the obsession.
Love the change to it, again. I'll actually consider running it in my builds in the future.
Nothing against your changes. But even after those, the new Dying Light would still be a lot weaker than the old one. Just look at the numbers:
Old Dying Light: 25% penalty after 3 hooks or 1 hook + mori
New Dying Light: 24% penalty after 8 hooks
Overall it is better since you dont have to tunnel, AND its gonna be throughout the whole game rather than just late game.
Also:
Old dying light: Obsession goes rage quit = Easy trigger
New dying light: Obsession goes rage quit = HAHA I WASTE YOUR ONE PERK SLOT
It's better for the Obsession since this person is not going to get tunneld but the killer will actively avoid chasing that person.
It's not an improvement for the killer and this is a killer perk. What I wrote above are the hard numbers. This perk got nerfed immensely, there is no way around this.
