I'd argue that this effect can STILL be circumvented entirely.
Yes, it's good for a sneak-up scenario on a Survivor, but all they have to do is run to a pallet, walk for 3 seconds/stand in place on the far of the loop, and than activate Sprint Burst by running away. At the end of the day though, if you can make use of a perk that's not entirely used, than more power to ya ha ha.
But in the case of THAT being the biggest obstacle for stealth Killers... i'd have to disagree. It's only an issue for someone like Wraith who has to uncloak, for Myers, Ghostface, and The pig, they can just walk up and hit you without anyone even noticing until it's too late, the only case where this is an issue is when they see you before-hand. But again, they could just run to a nearby window/pallet, stand or walk for 3 seconds, and than Sprint Burst away.
at the end of the day though...
You're not here to debate that with me, i'm just giving my opinion on it, whether you care or not is up to you. If there's nothing around for a Survivor to use, than I can see this working yeah, but if they didn't have Sprint Burst in the first place than... why use it?
Mindbreaker is kind of niche with how it works, I personally only see it working with pre-existing exhaustion builds that some Killers can utilize with their add-ons, since working on Generators under 50% will stop your exhaustion timer from decreasing.

Hey, debating is fun : )

But anyways, I thought it might also be useful in countering dead hard. You'd have to keep up the pressure to try keeping them from stopping to get rid of exhaustion, but it's not something I've tested allot yet. I agree though that's it's probably best used on other killers like clown for longer exhaustion times. I did pair the perk with exhaustion add-ons for portals, and add-ons that make destroying portals take allot longer. They seem to waste more time really attacking those portals more than normal. Putting one in my totem to keep them from sprinting away seemed to work too. I don't know, I'll keep tinkering with it. Just trying to mix things up as little.

That's probably the best you can do with it on Demogorgon exclusively, but where it really shines is with Killers like The Clown or Huntress who have exhaustion add-ons.
Any Killer with an exhaustion add-on will work, but applying an exhaustion debuff WITHOUT forcing them to use the exhaustion perk itself will limit their recovery while working on Generators, since Mindbreaker pauses the exhaustion recovery speed for any Generator that's under 50% progress. Your best bet is to use it in a 4-3 gen scenario, since that'll offer you the best "bang for your buck" in terms of how practical the perk is. If you use it outside of this scenario it's not really that great... someone like The Doctor might get use out of it in his 3 gen build, or anyone who uses exhaustion add-ons like The Pigs Slow release toxic, The Clowns Solvent Jug, or The Huntresses Berus Toxin/Venomous Concoction.
If you look around for other exhaustion add-ons on other Killers than that should work as well, but these are the three Killers that come to mind at the moment.

So maybe for the demogorgon,I need to use those add-ons that put the exhaustion status effect for anybody on a portal, and place portals directly on the last few gens. That's probably the best use with him. Thanks for the ideas though!!

I just think demo should not make a global sound when he's teleporting. It kinda ruins the purpose of the stealth he gains coming out of the portal.

Agreed. I still think his shred could use some sort of extra help. Maybe let him turn at the end of the thrash so he could better manage pallet loops.

Truthfully, its the attitude of killer mains nowadays.
Having played since release I've seen killer get easier, survivor get harder. FULL STOP.
Infinites gone, vaulting/perk/map/pallet nerfs, bloodlust added, end game timer added, hatch close added. All this has made being killer easier and survivor harder since release.
2 escapes, 2 kills is the devs unit of metric. You don’t have to like that but it’s whats given the survivors all their nerks and all the killers current buffs.
You look at the SB vs. NOED debates that happend at release all those years ago. SB now is mediocre at best where as NOED is still a high tier perk.
Killers now are up around 70% kills due to the trajectory of the game and the devs metric system, unless you feel their metric system is bad, in which case they can undo all the changes I've just mentioned....
It's only been recently that killers have started getting push back from devs because the state of the game is disconnecting survivors who know a game is going to end in a 4k so why bother for 3k BP.
And what do we see? Thread after thread recently of killers whining. People talk about salty survivors alot in this forum but ignore the elephant in the room.

The worst part about comments like this is that you completely ignore that there have been nerfs to killers/buffs to survivors in the past as well. You make it sound like it's been completely one sided since the start, and it hasn't. And some of the things you mention HAD to be done for the health of the game, such as the end game collapse. The collapse wasn't added to benefit killers or nerf survivors. It was added to keep the game from being held hostage by players who got off on trolling and bullying others. And frankly, it's been beautiful.

Anyways, like i said. The devs have been doing the best they can with balancing am asymetrical game that gets new, game altering mechanics added to it every few months. Not only that, but the skill ceiling in this game continues to climb as both killers and survivors get ridiculously good at this game. Far beyond what the devs probably could've imagined. Balance in an environment like that is really hard to maintain.

It's perfectly fine to disagree with their choices. But ignoring one side of the story and complaining that one side has been the sole victim, well it just doesn't do much for your credibility.

I play killer off and on, going between killer and survivor pretty often, and every time I play killer I get a merciless 4k, and I also show TONS of mercy in every match. I really don't understand why so many people find killer to be so difficult. Then again, I play on PS4, and about 95% of all survivors are complete potatoes. But still, even in matches where I get 4 man SWF, and they're all good at looping and hiding, I get a merciless 4k, while also showing mercy. Am I just the best player ever, or is killer really not that hard? I think the latter.

To quote the great Ron Burgundy, "I don't believe you." Of course if you're sitting at ranks 12-20 or something, I could see that then.

in How is playing killer so difficult? Comment by Tipper117 February 23, 2020

I'll see your one shoulder grab glitch and raise you another. Survivor opening the exit gate. Last alarm hasn't even sounded yet. First grab animation happens, stuck for three seconds work my hand on hey shoulder. Encouraging her. Yeah you open that gate!! You got this!!! Animation cancels and i go back to normal. I try again. Again, stuck frozen with hand on her shoulder. Last alarm goes off. Gate opens. I reset back to normal again.

This isn't a latency/ split second ping issue. This wasn't a quick grab at a window that our two consoles couldn't agree on the timing for. This happened over the course of about 10 seconds. It's a bug and I wish they'd fix it.

in This shoulder grab cancel thing is getting really old Comment by Tipper117 February 23, 2020

I hear ya man. All I can say is find popular killer streamers on twitch and read around the forums for tips. I know I've started a couple of threads getting advice from people recently on perk builds, specific killer strategies, etc. In the last month my killer game has excelled greatly and I was on a consistent track to red rank before the resets. Pretty sure I'll get there this time before the next reset. There's plenty out there teaching this game, and they're helpful.

It's also important to keep a cool head, and take a break when you can't. When i occasionally am getting stomped and I'm down to the last gen with only one hook, i just go to an exit gate and open it as soon as the last gen goes. I put my killer in a corner and set the controller down for a couple minutes while i get a snack or play with my doggos. End have collapse and being able to open a gate is one of the single greatest things to happen to this game because it allows you to end the game when it gets rough. This game definitely is balanced in favor of survivors currently, but it's still possible to succeed in high ranks. You just gotta remember it's only a game, keep a cool head, know when to take a break, and just brush off the losses. And try not to focus too much on that little rank number. Adds more unneeded stress sometimes.

in That's it. I quit killer. Uninstalled Comment by Tipper117 February 23, 2020

I don't know if try hard is the right word. I could hardly blame a killer for dropping a survivor and chasing another survivor when their hook gets sabod in front of them and they don't think they have time to make it to another one. I wouldn't call that try hard. I'd just say that's the smart/logical thing to do.

As for moris and stuff, I never use them. The only time I'd mori someone is if I'm running DH or rancor. You have to work a little more for a mori in those cases. But I think there's plenty like me that don't bring a mori offering because killing everyone right away just isn't fun and doesn't yield much for blood points.

Even though i play more killer right now (due to survivor lobby wait times) I'm looking forward to the meta changing up a bit. Keeps things fresh. Plus imma be busting through walls pretty soon like "oh yeah!!!" So bring on the sabo meta >: )

in Do you think Killers will be far more try hard with the upcoming Sabo-Change? Comment by Tipper117 February 23, 2020

I suppose if something is running boil over and you have breakout, would that stack the buff to wiggle speed? You'd have to coordinate that of course.

in Breakout Comment by Tipper117 February 18, 2020

I don't think they realize just how much had changed in this game in terms of player skill. So many survivors are at such a high skill level the game has become unbalanced. And it's not the player's fault honestly. But the devs haven't done a good job of adjusting or adapting to that over the years. I play both survivor and killer and I can tell you I've gotten to the point where i just don't want to play killer anymore. And i know I'm not the only one. Lobby wait times are a testament to that as more killers just give up and start playing survivor all the time. Overall i feel like I'm going to be spending time on other games for a while until I see an update come out down the line that makes some significant changes.

in Are the devs happy with how fast generators and games are going? Comment by Tipper117 February 7, 2020

@Happy2Heal4You said:
First off I don’t know if you are implying gen rushing isn’t real or if you don’t know what real gen rushing is? While people use gen rushing for survivors who do gens fast, real gen rushers are those who do nothing but sit on gens. So gen rushers will try their best to not go for hook saves, slug pick ups, get chased , etc. These are players who ruin the game for both killers and survivors.
Secondly I agree that by the time you are in middle of a match and hopefully have some map pressure and less gens to protect, gen speeds are a lot more reasonable. The problem people have with gens are the beginning when they have no pressure at all on the map and the lack of pressure means the easier it is for people to sit on gens. The speed of the early gens can cause killers to be forced to have to resort to scummier tactics like slugging and yes 3 gening, but playing the 3 gen is boring as a killer and is determined by how the gens are set up by the survivors. Most good survivors will realize when they have done more gens on one side of the map then the other and will try to avoid a three gen situation.
Finally, no one really cares for the emblem system at all at this point as it’s a dumb, inconsistent system for a rank that doesn’t matter now and will be even more irrelevant with the upcoming changes.

My last match finally pushed me over the edge and I'm done playing killer for now. Period. By the time I straight walked to the other side of the map where the survivors were on gens, two popped. And by the time I downed someone after that happened, 3rd gen done. My other matched today weren't as ridiculous as that, but they were still pretty bad with gen speeds. Back in the early days of this game it wasn't this big of a deal because nobody was freakishly good at this game. Nowadays the skill ceiling has gotten real high and i don't think BHVR has really been able to keep up with that or adapt the game to that. All I know is something needs to change.

That is why I was asking if you use Rat's liver at all, it makes you move at or just over 100% move speed when charging shred, that reason you just mentioned is why it's considered his best addon by far even though it is a brown.

I must've completely missed that. My bad. I'm gonna try using that more. Thanks!!!
