It's quite easy to see the beam is not shrinking.
Also comparing Lightborn to restricting killers from kicking is very disproportional. You still can do saves, just not flashlight ones. Pallet saves, Head On, Last Stand, Sabo, ect.
I can see why it would be frustrating to bering a full build that does nothing because of one perk. Unfortunately, that is also part of this game, with a killer example: hexes. One map/Extrasensory Perception/Counterforce and the build is dust.
Yes, it's not 1:1, but it is closer than the aformentioned comparison to disabling kicks.
Also, most people bring Lightborn for full flashlight hobbies, which is rare, so realistically all this'd do is unlock a 5th perk slot for killers.
lets talk about that if a killer is running full hex perks he more than likely is running Hex:Undying which means anyone who tries to cleanse totems is going to be interrupted by the killer. This is nowhere near the same sure survivors can see the totems but the time it takes to run to the totem "if they have a map or a perk that lets them see where it is" and takes 14 seconds to cleanse said totem the survivors have lost valuable time. There is no skill to lightborn and i see it all the time, even when survivors are running all medkits and toolboxes, killers will still run lightborn.
There is no Hard counter that survivors have towards killers the way lightborn hard counters survivors. This is legit the only perks that takes an entire aspect of the game, out of the game

I find it funny that people STILL have an issue with Lightborn's existence.
It's very clear when it's in use, and considering that the slot could be occupied by, say, Eruption instead, I think it's fine.
How is it clear its in use? do killers wear funny star shaped sunglasses? the only way its clear its in use is if your actively trying to flash a killer and if your using a lower tier flashlight sometimes it takes awhile for that flashlight to even show its on his face, especially new players I cant tell you how many times ive seen new players just sit there trying to flash a killer until they die or until that flashlight runs out.
Lightborn is a survivor perk equivalent to killers not being able to break pallets, or kick generators, or have hex totems. It removes an entire aspect of the game that was put there for survivors to extend chases and save people from being hooked.
If a survivor comes in with a flashlight and say a perkset that is blastmine, flashbang, residual manifest, and champion of light for instance. That survivor just walked into the map with zero perks essentially if the killer is running lightborn. I wouldnt blame this person for just leaving the second the match started. This is the same reason distortion got nerfed to oblivion.
Im not saying the offering idea would be ideal but maybe middle ground because i personally think it should be thrown in the trash but if killers had to compete in there bloodweb for this and mori it would reduce how many moris they got and make them decide whether to potentially waste an offering or not.

Idk every match I've been playing on 2v8 has been The Oni, The Good Guy, Hillbilly, or Mastermind downing somebody then full sprinting to the other side of the map to catch them coming out of their cage. Then theres usually The Nemesis to put pressure on the rest of the survivors constantly that seems to be the "meta" The legion on top of that would be not only awful but almost impossible if survivors are just being hard tunneled by one killer then harassed by the other. Especially the Oni who is going to sprint then insta down, hang them, sprint to their cage and insta down whoever was trying to get them off. Im seeing that 9/10 games i play. Im pretty certain they nerfed flashlight and flashbang saves as well, because they are definitely not working at i would say a 15% success rate.

for everyone saying lightborn is fine how it is. Sure, yes i get that its annoying to be blinded. However, imagine if survivors had a perk that never allowed the regression of generators. Making some of your perks, and some addons/offerings pointless. taking out an entire aspect of the game. that's essentially what lighborn does. you can bring in this item but you can do nothing with it, then possibly lose your item for it and that flashbang or blast Mine you brought into the game too is also wasted.
