• Honestly, reading these comments makes me feel sad. I absolutely fell in love with fog vials from the moment they hit the PTB and think it would take making them smaller than Halloween event ones to make me think about changing my mind.

  Yeah, the killer is gonna see you right in front of them base but it's been like that since the PTB. One of the first things I learned is that they're worst used when killer is close enough to see you in the fog and has line of sight (save for some scenarios). They're best to be used proactive to delay line of sight or potentially prevent it altogether.

  There are a million uses I've found already that work perfectly with even this current version of smoke bombs. Whether it's dropping it right before going down to give nearby teammates cover, preventing slugging; or around a corner to throw killers off in chase; or running in a straight line for a while then dropping one and turning 90 degrees; or dropping it in a chokepoint/intersection of paths to make the killer play pick-a-door; or even, as I've coined, a fog save where you drop it by an injured teammate whose in chase, potentially making the killer chase you instead for a sec or get thrown off and getting the killer off your teammate.

  One of my personal favorite ways is what I call "challenging" the killer. If the killer sees you in the distance and starts heading towards you, but you wanna get past them, you throw a smoke bomb and run towards them. You're basically trying to get by, essentially challenging them to a stand off. Will you run by them in a way that they don't notice, or will they find and catch you? That's the fun! It feels like throwing down the gauntlet in a battle of wits haha

  But anyway, all that to say that fog vials are incredible as is and having TOO high of opacity completely ruins the experience for many anyway, so play around with what we got rn and see what y'all can come up with!
