in Which killers do you refuse to play without certain perks? Comment by Leachy_Jr February 27, 2023

@Riski said:
I'd say two things about this:
Firstly you don't need map of the realm, many players play without it. Map makes landing you guards easier and and allow you to cover multiple options but smart decision making and tracking while placing can also achieve this. To avoid sounding rude you don't need map of the realm, you need to get better which is hard to see if you're use to using the addon as it's one that changes the way you learn the killer if you learn him with it as it does hold your hand a bit.
Secondly, if you do think the addon is needed I'd say you'd change consideration on a few factors. You'd consider the killer as having one addon slot not two, if the addon is super transformative, like tombstone, you may want to disregard it as you're basically talking about a different killer and if the addon is brown/yellow it's reasonable that someone could bring them every match but higher they will have to play matches without that addon which should counted against them. I also personally value diversity in builds as it forces survivors to play around more options which makes them play safe or take risks playing into the addons you have and allows you to run more unexpected options to catch people off guard or fit your playstyle better. If you think map of the realm is need I'd dock a few points, you can bring it every match and knight can have a lot of build diversity with just one other addon slot and perks, although I think it holds your hand it doesn't massively change how you play the killer even if it does value some playstyles over others so I wouldn't call it transformative.

I disagree that he doesn't need it. He literally cannot land a guard without it assuming you

Assuming you land the guard on the exact spot of the survivor:

Spawn time: 1.5s, so the survivor has ran 6m

Vision expansion: 1s, so the survivor has ran 10m by the time the vision has expanded fully.

This isn't even taking into account the fact that guards move on the path, making the expansion slower depending on the angle survivors are running at.

He mathematically cannot use his power unless you only zone (which is very situational for knight) or verse people with the reaction speeds of a 60 year old snail.

in If a killer is only decent with *one* specific add on, would you class them as a good killer? Comment by Leachy_Jr February 20, 2023

To put it harshly, recently it dont feel like feedback is listened to.

Only so many ways you can say "Sadako could do with some buffs" and "twins need QOL changes" before you get sick of it. I understand not doing debated changes but sadako has been out almost a year now and 99.9% of the community agrees she's too weak.

Same can be said with twins QOL, same with Billy QOL, same with wraiths random nerfs, etc etc.

I disagree, I don't think he's the best killer by any means but I feel like knight has a very situational power for example if the survivor is around mid map and it's a open map then he's at a disadvantage with his power but at the same time on any map if you have them in a corner area of the map or anywhere near edge map its pretty much a free down if the knight player doesn't mess up and they're injured already, I feel like he's about a high c tier killer or depending on the map b tier but he's not the worst

With map yea, but without map its mathematically impossible to get a guard to chase a survivor if they run away and don't be dumb, and if they either stick to the centre of the map or utilise chained loops he basically has zero chase power like skull merchant. You would have to be on an insanely situational map like the corner of lerys in order to get an 8m range guard to chase someone (jailor my beloved).

So he has mediocre gen defence (esp without Call to arms) and a chase ability that only helps you in 1/50 situations or camping. At least onryo has a short height and flickers this man has zero way to secure a down in a 3 gen without map.

@Emoba said:
I don't think I understand your question. Are you asking if a killer's strength should be gauged while taking addons in account? Then the answer is obviously yes. What kind of question is that?

Sort of.

But where does someone draw the line at which add ons should be considered?

If we were considering all add ons, spirit would be better than nurse as she has MDR and amulet. Same with blight and C33.

Billy would be A tier as we'd be able to consider both Doom and lopro which combined pretty much quadruple his base kit strength.

Artist absolutely does not need Festering Carrion basekit, considering it is her strongest addon. I'm a p60+ Artist with more games on her than I care to count, being able to run Matias Shoes+Severed Hands/Thick Tar/any of her other addons with Festering Carrion basekit would be busted as hell. She's extremely powerful as is.
Dredge doesn't need basekit to counter one of his few counters, nor does he need open locker priority, as that's one of his counterplays.
Sadako could use a little love but is in a very good place currently. I made a thread about this a while back, but she's not in as dire changes as Nurse, Twins, or even Freddy.

Festering carrion being base would help add on variety, as people would feel less forced to run it. It's the same logic as making toy sword base kit for twins - literally every twins runs it so making it base is only beneficial to their add on variety. I would not mind a matias shoes nerf/rework, however every other add on is either fine or weak, so basekit carrion would not be an issue.

The only time dredge without calendar is even remotely feasable is if you run a 3 gen and get specific locks out of the way at the start of the match, which massively limits his playstyles and makes aggressive plays near impossible. Plus his mobility doesn't need a counter (locks) in the first place since locker spawns are RNG and exhaustion perks exist.

I disagree completely, not having open locker priority is a completely braindead mechanic.

also Idk what game you're playing if you think sadako is in a good place when her only remotely decent playstyle requires an iri and a snoozefest strategy, any other playstyle and she's bottom of the barrel for viability and gets predropped into oblivion.

Not every killer is released underpowered or overpowered. Since everyone is a critic, what changes would you make for those killers? Artist is one of my mains, along with Sadako and Dredge.

Artist should get festering carrion base kit, alongside add on changes (mainly buffs).

Dredge needs some form of haddies calendar base kit, faster ms when holding remnant, and unlocked locker priority for locker groups.

Sadako needs so many buffs I'm too tired to list them all.

@Peanits said:
At no point did we say that it is the only survivor sided map, we simply confirmed what others have been saying and outlined the work we've done to address this one. By no means is it the only one. You can make a case for just about any map favouring one side or the other.
As for the Killer changes, The Nurse has easily been the single most discussed Killer lately and warranted changes over any other Killer. The Knight was only recently released and as usual, we make changes to the most recent Killer in the following updates to try and fine tune their balance. They were definitely not chosen at random. Other Killers have changed planned, but there's only so much bandwidth for changes in each update.

"and as usual" Im confused. There were no changes to sadako, dredge, artist, or wesker (if i remember correctly) after their release.

Why were these killers excluded from the usual killer balancing but not knight?

I don't think any Prime content is exclusive, juding by the Plague's outfit that was in it and it's in the game store too

Them artist skins could only be accessed through amazon prime. If a new player started after the codes were gone, there is not a single way to access them legitimately. Which is exclusivity to the time period the skins were available.

In terms of cosmetics he’ll be like slinger. A small selection of outfits that barely fit the characters theme

Im scared he'll end up like haddie. No green rarity cosmetics - only a linked set that changes his model.

Everything else he has is default and tbh doesnt match very well. Massive missed opportunity for different types of knight armour.

No.
Maybe it could just block the gen for 10 seconds and have a 15% regression penalty.
10 seconds isn't enough time to heal fully and 15% regression is significant.

That would be too much IMO. 15% is pain resonance on every gen you kick which (when comboed with other perks) could become problematic on heavy defence killers.

Id say 12%, and make everyone within 16m of an effected gen scream. So it becomes more of a tracking and pressure perk instead of just pure pressure.

in Time limited outfits... Comment by Leachy_Jr October 31, 2022

I honestly dont like it. I think 3 seconds is fine but locker DS can stay as is, if someones being tunnelled you should either wait it out or eat it. Plus 5 seconds is too oppressive for M1 killers with no mobility.

DS is still godly against every killer aside from spirit and nurse. I think its fine as is.

Of course the Hindered makes a difference, but only a little bit. Are pink add-ons not supposed to be strong? When are we getting rid of Brand New Part and Styptic Agent then?

Yeah, just not "absolutely brain dead with no counterplay" strong.

Tbh, wouldn't mind an insta heal or BNP nerf either.

What's the difference between that and Leatherface instantly breaking pallets?

The fact that bubba has to catch up to you as a 115% killer but blight can start his rush instantly plus you're hindered.

Forums full of spicy takes but I didn't expect "c33 has counterplay" to come up.

How do they change his counterplay.

You mean C33 and vial?

Counter to blight is using strong windows in conjunction with predropping. Predropping does nothing because he breaks the pallet instantly, gets his rushes back instantly, and you're hindered.

This means you're forced to use windows all match, which isn't a viable option as there won't be god windows around 24/7, you're hindered so these windows are harder to reach anyways, and the amount of benefits that vial gives you makes even some of the strongest windows unsafe.

So basically, you die. You have a better chance against a range nurse.

Who are you suggesting is better other than Nurse?

Spirit, artist, and maybe pyramid with add ons is better than base kit blight.

He reminds me of old billy, most of old billys viability came from charge + doom. Because he got no charge add ons in the rework he became much worse than he was before (ignoring lopro obv).

Also, another argument can be made for spirit as well. Spirit is quite add on reliant so i would love to see a charge add on base kit and all of her other add ons (speed specifically) nuked to oblivion.

What do you mean, there's no downsides to making it basekit? It means people will run 3 addons on Blight instead of 2. Even if you're getting rid of alch ring and c33, that's pretty strong. Blight is too strong with addons =! Blight should get one of his best addons basekit.
And I beg to differ about basekit Blight. He's still way better than basekit most of the roster.

Emphasis on "given add on nerfs".

If his add ons were actually balanced, making 5% speed base wouldnt be a problem. I'm suggesting a fat nerf to add ons (speed included) and base 5% speed build up to make him less crow reliant.

Why? Blight's basekit is great. He doesn't need buffs. The whole issue with his addons is that they're very good addons on top of a very good killer and put together, it's too much.
Most killers will struggle against good players on bad maps. That's why you bring addons in the first place.

Nah his basekit is just meh. Nothing special. Struggles on large maps and anti blight maps like garden and eyrie.

Making a 5% base kit speed add on alongside add on nerfs makes him more fun to play, the same to verse cos everyone already runs crow, and stronger. There's literally no downside to it.
