You don't need nurse reworks to win against majority of killers (or let alone nurses, wow!) as a survivor though, what's the point of balancing if you only think about pub matchmaking.

Because Public Games are actually way more important than those niche and laughable tournaments?

Then DBD can be 100% survivor controlled. Sounds thrilling. It’s impressive how consistently you post wildly delusional opinions.

You dont need to play Nurse to win games. Every Killer can win games against the majority of Survivors.

When Nurse was disabled I did not see all Killers suddenly losing every game.

Reworked. Her Basekit is not fine. It was designed by a Dev-Team which had far less of an idea what should be in the game and what not. Nurse would not be released like this nowadays, she is one of those broken things released back then, but she is allowed to stay because Killer Mains would complain too much if she would be nerfed or reworked.

However, she should be reworked. A Nerf alone would not really help, because she should stay a strong Killer. But not bypass everything in the game.

And it is not just her Add Ons. Sure, things like a third Blink, (Double) Recharge or Range should not exist. But on the other hand, having her problematic Basekit as it is and all Add Ons being Meme Add Ons does not really sound great either.

So she should be reworked completely - base power AND Add Ons. A base power-Rework of Nurse would also allow the Add Ons to be strong and useful.

Question - did you only play against Survivors with Meme-Perks in Rank-based Matchmaking?

What are your builds? Are you using Meta-Perks or are you using Meme-Perks?

They said what they did with the SBMM in their Blogpost about the Matchmaking-Tests. SBMM will not go away, people thinking it would, are delusional. The system is a huge pile of #########, but it is here to stay.

But, removing the Grades form the Endgame-Screen is alright. They had no purpose for Matchmaking and players were just confused.

in "Just hide the grades, they'll cry less" Comment by Aven_Fallen April 23, 2022

Aside from Circle of Healing and MoM (which got nuked pretty fast), the last Meta-Perk released for Survivors was Dead Hard. Most Survivor-Perks released are either weak or very, very niche.

The only reason why this does not seem as extreme on the Killers side is because every Killer plays different and some Perks can be situational, but good on specific Killers. E.g. Iron Maiden can be good on Huntress and Trickster, but thats about it.

Both sides usually bring strong stuff, but for Killers, there is a bit more variety, because Killers play different. (Of course you can run the same 4 Slowdown-Perks on every Killer, this is also possible)

Does Legion whiffing still take him out of Feral Frenzy? That's always been the thing that made them unplayable for me and a lot of others on console.
I'm glad hemorrhage doesn't affect recovery, though. That would've sucked.

I would say this is a problem with the game being on platforms which can be so different.

Because on PC, it was really annoying to verse a Legion who failed to hit you 5 times, just to have the 6th hit landing without any penalty at all. It is probably impossible to find a middle ground for that.

Yes, if for example everyone is using flashbangs that burn you out of power, or they stealth your corrupt intervention, that's it, you're slower at hunting survivors out of stealth, and not that good at camping. You suffer Dead hard.
With Plague you can use Blood Echo with add-ons to make the infection last 40+20+30 seconds on the gens, and either force everyone to be injured or wait a massive amount of time, and if they all get injured you deny any Dead Hards, and at that point where everyone is injured you're a camping monster.

My point is, if we start analyzing every aspect of a Killer, we end up on: "Why not play Nurse?"

People should play the Killers they like, but also dont expect a 4K every time when they play a Killer who might be weaker than others.

There’s nothing wrong with slugging.

Does not mean that the recovery regression was a good idea in the first place.

If you have more fun with Deathslinger, play Deathslinger.

Otherwise, we could ask the question "Is there any realistic reason to play any Killer over Nurse?".

I only watch chill Streamers. I dont want to watch a streamer whining about the game if they are outplayed. This removes a lot of European Streamers during mid-day.

In evening, I usually play myself. E.g. I used to watch Scorpionz, but his schedule changed a lot at some point (he moved to the evening), so I did not watch him anymore.

Sometimes I watch Umbra or OhTofu, but Umbra rarely streams nowadays and both stream during a time where I am usually asleep or busy.

in Why DO/DONT you watch streamers? Comment by Aven_Fallen April 22, 2022

Change his FoV and animations. This would improve him more than any changes to Overheat or Add Ons.

The only thing that needs to go is syringes and stypitics.
I'm sorry. But nothing should exist that lets you heal almost instantly mid chase especially(green med kit)
There shouldn't be an item that gives you free BT. That's long enough to get you to a tile. It's not a perk. It's an item that can extend chases further then they have the right to be.

Complaining about Syringes and Styptics in 2022...

@Topic:

Before the Devs try to change any numbers, they should make it that Boons only affect the floor they are active on. So at multi-floor Maps that it only affects that one Floor. You should not have a Boon upstairs in the middle of Midwich and have its effects on the lower Floor. You should not have a Boon upstairs in the library on RPD and benefit from it while not being on the same floor.

Because from the design, Boons are meant to be removed quickly by the Killer. But if they have to go upstairs in the Library or even worse, upstairs in Midwich, they cannot remove them quickly anymore.

I think this change would be far more important than any number changes. But overall, I think the Perk will slowly go into the "useless"-section with further Nerfs. It was a Perk which was too strong and was released like this because it was a Survivor-only Chapter. And similar to MoM, it will be brought down to a weak status, just this time, the Devs do it slowly and dont crush it right away.

in If CoH receives a further nerf. Comment by Aven_Fallen April 22, 2022

Nobody knows. Some people complained, but honestly, this is the case every time when a PTB is launched. It has tradition that at least one Survivor Perk is picked and called problematic, just to never see this Perk again after one week after release. Parental Guidance was one of those.

And I also think it should have been added to DS to buff the Anti-Tunneling Aspect. So that a Nurse or Blight cannot just laugh about it, look around and are back at you immediatly. However that BHVR brought it as a Perk on its own shows that there are no plans to buff the Anti-Tunneling Aspect of DS.

Current DS isn't even worth to use anymore

I mean, it is no Anti-Tunnel Perk, because it does not much to counter it. A Killer will just push through it if they want to tunnel, and the stronger the Killer, lesser the impact of DS.

But I would not call it not worth to use. Sometimes the Killer really goes for a different person after being DSed. And if you are not playing as a 4 man-SWF all the time, you will have players on your team who unhook you without BT. And if you dont have DS, this would mean that you are back to the Hook in just 10 seconds.

If a survivor escapes it gets a guaranteed black pip.

This is wrong. You can also depip while escaping. This happens when the Killer is a facecamper or straight up afk.

IMO an escape should always grant a Blackpip (and a 4K should always grant a Blackpip as well, but from what I know, the only way to depip during a 4K as Killer is when you kill all Survivors with a Tombstone and never hook any of them).

I agree. He has the same issue as pre-nerf Freddy. The killer isn't OP on their own, but they synergize ridiculously well with stacked slowdowns. Having even one less skilled teammate will totally throw the game for the entire team against a killer who can make games take forever. Plus there are quite a few things that make him downright annoying to face.
I'd rework Engineer's Fang. His power isn't hard enough to land to warrant that reward.
We know they can make trial items not replace survivor items (VHS tapes and Sadako). The box shouldn't make me drop my item. That's incredibly annoying.
Franklin's and Hoarder shouldn't interact with the box at all. A box chasing forever chain hunt Pinhead might be the most annoying thing in the game to face.
Let me solve the freaking box. I know I've said the word a lot in this post, but it's ANNOYING when you're trying to solve the box and it keeps spamming chains at you.

Pretty much this. He might be better to face when playing in a 4 man SWF, but not everyone is playing in a 4 man SWF (and I doubt Killers will give the conter: "Then play in a 4 man SWF!").

But for me, the interaction with Franklins/Hoarder and the Box is the most annoying thing. This should not be the case IMO. However, I think that the Devs want to keep it in the game. And Pinhead-Players want to keep it in as well. And I think that this is the main reason why the Add Ons which make solving the Box take longer have been nerfed - the Devs dont want to kill the actual combo, so they nerf the next best thing. Which also affects every Pinhead who does not run Hoarder/Franklins.

And overall, I think he is pretty boring to face. When he came out on the PTB I only played like 1 hour of the PTB instead of the whole evening, because Pinhead was so boring to play against.

But I also dont really know how to really fix anything without making him bad.

I have never even had that notion enter my head, never mind say it. In fact; I have never seen anyone say it before.
No sarcasm, no joking; I have never heard that notion until you asked it right now.
But thinking on it; If a survivor keeps his DS until the end game or once gates are open; they deserve that escape. The perk did something incredibly niche, or the Killer misplayed, or the Survivor avoided being tunneled. All 3 are valid reasons to have DS work in the end game.
For BT? Eh? 🤷‍♂️ If the game plays out so BT gets use in the end game; then the Killer did not play right to prevent it form happening, or the Survivors out-played him. It might feel a bit frustrating, sure, but perks are there to impact the game. And that means the whole game; from the first second to the last second before Survivors step out the game/the last Survivor is killed.

Ok.

Because this "idea" came up multiple times on the Forum already. And it is funny, because people defend NOED the same way "The game is not over when 5 Gens are done", but then sometimes the same people want to disable BT or DS in Endgame, because the Killer can only camp and tunnel at this point.

However, my opinion will most likely not change. I dont think that the game is over when 5 Gens are done, however, NOED is badly designed because the Killer will get it regardless of their own performance. They can get 0 Hooks or 8 Hooks, they get a value out of NOED. No Way Out is a well-designed Endgame Perk, it gives value based on how good the Killer did during the game. A bad Killer will most likely not get the maximum value out of No Way Out. But they get the same value out of NOED like a good Killer.

Let alone a camping Killer - it is impossible to do 5 Gens AND cleanse 5 Totems while one person is camped on the Hook. It is probably not even possible to do 5 Gens if they get camped early on.

IMO NOED should be changed into a Perk which gains Tokens based on how many Hooks the Killer got during the game. And then gives a Buff based on the number of Tokens. Plus, remove the Hex-Status so that it keeps being active during the Endgame.

This would be a far better solution. A Killer who did well will get a huge benefit from it during Endgame. A Killer who did poorly will not get that much of a benefit and a Camper almost nothing (because they only have one Hook).

But I doubt that NOED will ever be changed to something like this.
