3 back to back SWF matches filled with nothing but meta perks from the survivors. The first was a wannabe bully squad that thankfully were terrible at looping, their communication being the thing carrying them to a tie. The second was just your average just playing group that happened to be skilled. The third, like the first, had a map offering, with 3 brand new parts (somehow this ended in a draw like the rest).
You guys do it as well. I didn't pay any attention to the people saying that the survivors were sweating massively. Boy are they right. I was running an off-meta build. The meta build is staying on for the rest of the event.

You got ties against 3 SWFs and one with 3 Brand New Parts??? Are you seriously complaining??? You must be one of the most entitled killers on this board.

Only bad thing about hawkins is wraith moves so fast he just jumps right over the holes in the cat walks and in the upside down rooms.

Actually, that would help that map. Add the upside down through the portal and maybe add some Demogorgon buttholes around the map. It's just to small, to narrow and to many gens in the center.

The only strategy for survivors is to try and do 2 of the center gens and save the upside down room gen and upstairs gen till last. No one ever does that.

The problem with the view of most people who complain about NoED is that they think it 'rewards failure'. This could not be more wrong.
See, the Killer did not fail just because 5 gens popped; the Exit Gates still need to be opened, and the Survivors still need to actually leave the match. At any point between those two things; the Killer can still hit and hook and kill people.
But, the way I see it, most of those who dislike NoED know this. They just don't want to accept it. So they invent some arbitrary event; the Exit Gates being powered, and then claim it's somehow a fail state for Killers.
In this way, they have just created an argument against NoED; that it 'rewards failure'. They're wrong, but they will stick to it, because it's the only method to attack NoED that they have.
Because, and let's face it, their other argument of 'It has no counter' is an utter lie, given the number of anti-totem perks and items that exist.
So they tried to invent another flaw with the perk; the 'rewards failure' tripe. It's also a lie, but they keep trying.

I don't see how you could call it anything but rewarding failure. You failed at killing survivors so you get rewarded by BHVR just giving you kills.

Plus NOED is the ultimate face camping perk in the game.

I wouldn't call a perk that rewards bad play / mistake and (unless used in the open) has 0 counterplay a "one of the best designed Survivor perks".

It rewards good play because the survivor is playing with the intention of using Dead Hard.

Like a person who waits for the killer to get close before Sprint Bursting away is playing with the intention of using Sprint Burst.

0 counter play? You can bait it out. I swear there's a lot of really low level killers in here.

Except they don't.
Sprint burst only is useable at the start of t he chase. Again, it's strength is getting you out of a dead zone and to a loop. Additionally it has an actual downside.
Lithe automatically activates when vaulting something, this means you can't do perfectly efficient loops without dropping pallets anymore. Additionally, once i know a survivor has it, it becomes clear that they WANT to go for a window, so instead of trying to chase them, or do a fake, you KNOW they want that window, so you fake going one way and as they go through the window, you can often hit them.
Balanced Landing can only be used in a small amount of places on each map, and, like lithe, it is obvious as hell when you are about to use it. Hills are terrible normally, so if a survivor is going for a hill i can expect it. Additionally like lithe, once i know a survivor has it, i can play around it, i can just NOT chase the survivor in an area near a hill, for example.
Smash hit requires a pallet stun, which, unless the pallet is really unsafe, is already a chase ender because you usually need to stop to break the pallet. This means that if they use it, i just break the pallet and start chasing someone else.

By your reasoning every exhaustion perk should be nerfed. They all do something the other ones don't.

In certain situations Sprint Burst out-shines all the other exhaustion perks, so does Dead Hard, Smash Hit, Lithe and Balanced Landing.

Dead Hard never out-shines any of the other exhaustion perks all the time. It's balanced and you haven't presented an argument yet to justify it being nerfed.

Here are you arguments for nerfing and the counter arguments.

It gives you 1 second of extra chase time - Other exhaustion perks give you 2 to 3 seconds.
It gives you extra chase time after the first hit - So does Lithe, Balanced Landed and Smash Hit.
In very specific situations it out-performs other exhaustion perks - So does every other exhaustion perk.

I feel like you are intentionally being thick. When you use these abilities are you using them in a flat plane of a map with no objects in it? Or are there loops, pallets, windows and structures?

Sprint Burst, Lithe, Balanced Landing and Smash Hit all get you to the exact same loop, pallet or window and they get you to it 2 seconds faster.

Dead Hard isn't doing something that another exhaustion perk doesn't do except for the i-frames and it's 2 seconds shorter.

What you should do is play survivor with Dead Hard for 2 weeks, only. Then play survivor with Sprint Burst for 2 weeks, only. You have this fantasy that Dead Hard is OP and it isn't, because all you see is a completely killer sided perspective. Once you play Dead Hard and compare it to Sprint Burst, you'll see that they're pretty much equal (And will most likely see that Sprint Burst is just better).

Because you can't use the sprint burst in the chase. You use it right at the start of the chase. So i, as a killer, have options. Dead hard only activates and becomes usable after you already spent 30-60 seconds finding and chasing the survivor then just are about to land the down and BAM, dead hard to a window for distance, now i have to spend another 30 seconds chasing you (and that is assuming you don't use vaults or pallets).
Sprint burst, because it happens at the start of the chase, i can choose to NOT chase you, and go for someone else, especially if i see you are running to a part of the map that has no generator. Additionally, even if you do use it, and i follow, all it did was get you to another loop. It didn't let you extend the chase other than the "hold w" aspect, which isn't even why it is strong. Hold w is it's own problem, but all it does is add 7 seconds to the time it takes for me to catch up to you if all you do is hold w. Not nearly as long as dead hard. The strength of sprint burst is that you can repair generators in a dead zone and safely get to an area with pallets if the killer shows up.
Dead hard is effectively a 3rd health state. You do a chase, loop around something for 30 seconds, land a hit. Do another chase, loop around something for 30 seconds, dead hard. Loop around something for 30 seconds, 2nd hit. In the hands of good players, dead hard becomes a 3rd health state.

Let me simplify.

Dead Hard = 1 sec
Sprint Burst = 3 sec
Lithe = 3 sec
Balanced Landing = 3 sec
Head On = 3 sec
Smash Hit = 4 sec

The time each ability gives you is the exact same every time. Just because Dead Hard can ONLY be activated in the second part of a chase, doesn't mean it gives you more time. Lithe, Balanced Landing, Head On and Smash Hit can ALL be activated at the start or the second part of a chase.

Dead Hard has a downside, like every other exhaustion perk. In fact it's downside is much worse than Sprint Burst, Lithe and sometimes Balanced Landing. You have to be injured, you can't use Dead Hard at all against one-hit downs in a healthy state, you only run in a straight line and you only get 1 second out of it.

The only difference in Dead Hard is it has invulnerability for a split second, and honestly Head On gives you 3 seconds of invulnerability functionally.

You act like breaking off a chase is game breaking for Sprint Burst, where in fact it means you spend that much more time not in a chase which is much much worse than an extra IMAGINED 30 seconds of chase time with Dead Hard, (You are definitely not doing an extra 30 seconds of chase time every time someone uses Dead Hard) that you also have to do with Lithe, Balanced Landing and Smash Hit (However they give you even more chase time)

Also, every single exhaustion perk is a single key press to outplay, so that's a really really bad argument.

If you want a perk nerfed, then present unbiased hard data. Not made up scenarios that mean absolutely nothing or a single video. Get out excel and document. Otherwise you're building your entire argument on a strawman

Not true, dead hard lets you get to a pallet or window you otherwise would not.

How the heck does Dead Hard get you to a pallet or window that Sprint Burst doesn't also get you to the exact same pallet or window but 2 seconds earlier. Your logic makes absolutely no sense.

Sprint Burst = 3 seconds

Dead Hard = 1 second

Please explain how Dead Hard is getting you to somewhere faster than Sprint Burst.

I don't even need a spreadsheet for that, simple math.
Sprint burst lets survivors run at 6.0 m/s for 3 seconds. The killer moves at 4.6 m/s. That means if the survivor waits till the last second to activate it and the killer follows them, they gained 1.4 * 3 = 4.2 meters on the killer. Lunge range is 6 meters, so you just wait the sprint burst out and lunge at them. Waiting till the last second isn't optimal, it's better to use it earlier. But, again, if you do that and you play to the shift + w meta, again, all you did was gain 4.2 meters in the chase, which since a killer moves .6 meters faster than a survivor, if both are running in a straight line, sprint burst gained you a total of 7 seconds with 4.2 / .6 = 7.
Sprint burst is not as good compared to dead hard. It's strength is that you can sprint burst away from a dead zone and get to somewhere that isn't a dead zone.

And Dead Hard gained less than 5 seconds. Sprint Burst wins.

You really aren't reading my post, every other perk has a downside.
Sprint burst requires you to walk
Smash hit requires you to land a pallet stun (which is already normally a chase ender) and is riskier to use, additionally killer's can play around it by respecting the pallet.
Lithe requires you to vault something, and by it's nature means you aren't looping as efficiently.
Balanced is highly dependent on map and/or only usable at certain parts of the map
Head on can't really be used in a chase
Adrenaline activates once per game.
Dead hard, just is. Yeah, you have to be injured, but if you are being chased you are likely going to be injured at some point.
If a survivor runs off with sprint burst they can't use it for 40 seconds. That is a really long time in this game, that is half a gen. Meanwhile i'm patrolling the gens and looking for them.
But again, you aren't challenging my point. Please explain to me how i, as a killer counter dead hard for distance? I'll wait.

So does Dead Hard. You are pretending like it doesn't.

But I tell you what. Prove to us that Dead Hard is so freaking overpowered.

Get out Excel and take down the average length of chases using Dead Hard vs Sprint Burst. Survivor starts at a gen. Killer starts 32 meters out. Do the exact same looping path for both Sprint Burst and Dead Hard. The survivor can wait at the gen till the last moment till the killer gets there and can Sprint Burst away, which is what survivors do in higher ranks.

I guarantee that Sprint Burst will beat Dead Hard over and over again.

Again, please read the rest of my post. The point of dead hard is not the "1 second of speed" the point is to extend a chase by getting a window or pallet that you otherwise would not have been able to get to. Once you have done that, you have effectively extended a chase by at least 20 seconds if you do nothing but hold w and run to a corner of them map. Additionally sprint burst has a downside, they survivor has to walk very slowly around the map if they want to make sure it doesn't activate. What is the downside of dead hard? There is not one.

So "1 second of speed" gives you 20 seconds of chase time. How long do you think "3 seconds of speed" gives you in chase time? At least 22 seconds but would actually be more because the survivor has even more time to get to a better loop than the "1 seconds of speed" gives you.

And you don't have to walk everywhere for Sprint Burst, that is crazy talk. Sprint Burst comes back plenty fast enough that you can use it to get to objectives faster and have it ready for the next chase. So not only is Sprint Burst wasting your time with chasing, it speeds up doing gens, which killers don't notice.

BTW, Dead Hard's downside is being injured. If Leatherface is chasing me with an insta-down chainsaw while I'm healthy, Sprint Burst is going to get me to a pallet or window. Dead Hard will do absolutely nothing. Against an insta-down killer, Dead Hard is going to cost you 1 hook state. Sprint Burst never costs you a hook state.

It's just so much better than the rest of the exhaustion perks because it has no downside in comparison to the others. Dead harding to dodge a hit is fine but the "dead hard for distance" can extend a chase far more than any other exhaustion perk and has no counter. For example, right now we have:
Sprint Burst
Sprint burst can only be activated at the start of a chase, meaning the killer can break off of the chase and just go after someone else, or try to cut the survivor off somehow. In order to make it usuable in a chase, it must be 99'd, however then you can't do ANYTHING, because if you stop to heal, do a gen etc. you now ready it. Additionally you have to walk everywhere if you want to hold onto it, making you slower outside of the chase
Lithe
This one requires you to vault something, which means you aren't necessarily being efficient in a loop. If you want to hold onto lithe in a chase, you have to drop a pallet, which is a limited resource and carries it's own risks. Additionally, once you know the survivor has lithe, you can play around it and know now that they WANT to go through the vault, so you can loop a different way, or cut them off early since you know what their plan is.
Smash Hit
Unless the pallet is some really unsafe pallet, getting stunned is already a chase ender. This perk just makes getting pallet stunned to be even more of a chase ender. additionally it requires you to actually drop a pallet and get a stun. Both of which can be played around, as a killer, i can respect the pallet, and back off. Then when they see i do that, and just keep running i can react to that and no longer respect the pallet, creating our own little mindgame around it. Trying to go for a pallet stun can also be risky for a lot of different reasons depending on the killer
Balanced Landing
Balanced only works on a few parts of most maps, outside of that it is very map dependent. This means it won't always be readily available to you, and you are stuck to staying around a certain area if you want to use this perk, otherwise you might not get a chance to use it. Also, similar to Lithe, the killer can play around it, it becomes pretty obvious when you are going for that hill, which otherwise would be useless and actually bad for you.
Head on
Head on can't really be used in a chase unless paired with other perks. Additionally it gives you less distance than most other exhaustion perks. It's main extra function is that you can stun the killer that is carrying a survivor.
Adrenaline
I'd say the main function of this perk isn't really exhaustion related and is mostly done for the heal and the quick getaway. It also can only activate once per game and also only at the endgame, so it can't really be used to extend a chase.
Dead Hard
Then we come to dead hard. In theory the downside of dead hard is that it requires you to be injured. But in practice, this isn't actually a downside. Unlike the other main exhaustion perks, in which you give up some level of efficiency in one area to gain efficiency in another, dead hard has nothing but gains. If you are being chased, you are likely going to be injured at some point, meaning it has no downside. Additionally, you can activate it whenever you want, this is the only perk (outside of head on) that you can perfectly control when it activates. All of the others have some sort of condition that you need to play around or achieve in order to activate. Dead hard is just "press e". Dead hard for dodging a hit is actually fine, and has counterplay, just bait the dead hard, and then swing. Dead hard for distance though, has no counter, they just round a corner, press e, and suddenly they are at a pallet or window they otherwise would not have been able to make it to. There is literally no counterplay around that.
Ideally, to fix dead hard, i would do 1 of 2 things:
Make it so you can't control exactly when it activates
Make it so it actually has a downside.
If we want to make it have a downside, i would make it such that using it gives you a debuff that makes it take twice as long for you to be healed for like 60-90 seconds or something. This way it has an actual downside, as a killer, if i see someone dead hard, i now can drop chase with them and be confident that they are either going to be out of the game for a little while trying to heal somewhere, or that the next time i see them i can be sure that they will already be injured.
Another thing that could be done is changing what it does and how it activates. Since it is about being injured, what i would do is make it increase your movement speed when you get hit. This would be similar to what it is like when you get hit and use sprint burst at the same time, you get a super speed boost for a few seconds. If dead hard worked like this, then it has a downside, in that you CAN'T use it while injured. This means that if i drop chase now, again, i can be confident that you are going to spend some time off of the gens to heal, or on the flipside, if i run into you again injured, i can be sure that you DON'T have dead hard now.

LOL, Dead Hard can extend a chase longer than any other exhaustion perk!!!

Dead Hard is 1 second of speed.
Sprint Burst is 3 seconds of speed
Lithe is 3 seconds of speed
Balanced Landing is 3 seconds of speed
Smash Hit is 4 seconds of speed
Head On is a 3 second stun

If you break off a chase with someone with Sprint Burst, that means you didn't even get a chance to do anything because of the perk. How is that worse than Dead Hard??? (On top of the fact that, as a Killer, you wasted all the time going toward the Sprint Burst survivor and then wasted all the time leaving the location of the Sprint Burst survivor after you break off the chase!!! That's way more time wasted for the Killer than Dead Harding for distance will ever do.)

...and what about the inverse, where the two gates are so far apart the Killer has literally 0 chance of making it from one to the other in the twenty seconds it takes to open? That's a free escape for the Survivor.
It's fine how it is now, where it has a random chance of favouring either side instead of always being in the Survivor's favour.

In a 1v1 EG situation.

Almost half the killers are able to patrol 2 gates completely opposite each other or use some other means to still win. Nurse, Billy, Trapper, Wraith, Spirit, Freddy, Hag, Legion, Oni, Blight, Twins. Even without that, most maps are so small, that you can get from one side to the other before the survivor can escape. On top of that, the killer needs to see the survivor to win. So even large maps, there's a chance a non-movement enhanced killer will still win.

Single survivors have absolutely 0 chance of opening a gate when the gates are side by side. Small maps, they have no chance.

A question for my fellow Survivors!
In the majority of games that I have played in the past two weeks when there are two Survivors left in the match the Killer will slug to ensure that the hatch opening is never an option. I have played a few rounds where Survivors have called this taking the game hostage. Some talking about reporting over it.
I consider it a cheap tactic and a sign of the Killer knowing that the two remaining Survivors (usually who are at no/one hook and have outplayed them in the match before) are more skilled and that one will escape. I personally view it as sweaty and boring, but I don't think it is taking the game hostage which is a reportable offense. That might be the 'saltiest' thing I've said on these forums and it's not meant to instigate anything. 😅
The counter to this is obviously to bring keys. I've been extremely outspoken for literal years about how anti-key I am but at this point it is the only viable counter to this kind of gameplay. I've got over 75 red keys in my inventory because I've never used them. Countless greens with countless add-ons. As unfun for me as it will be to have to start using them I'm nearing that point.
So, Survivors, how do you feel?

This isn't taking the game hostage. It's extremely bad sportsmanship but isn't taking the game hostage.

To be fair I don't think I have ever seen anyone successfully use this perk since it was added in the game. How often are survivors carried through pallets anyway? The only time I see it really working is if a killer leaves a survivor on the ground at a pallet for a few seconds and they also have flip flop. But again, how often does that happen? Theres a reason why you hardly ever see certain perks used in this game.

Exactly. People are acting like Killers can only walk between pallets when carrying a survivor or survivors always go down right underneath a pallet. This just doesn't happen. Once the Killer knows you have it, they are going to avoid walking between pallets and they are going to avoid slugging. This buff won't even make it a meta perk.

We've all had the situations as survivor wher we get unhooked. Only to find that our savior has vanished into thin air, leaving us injured as you hear the heartbeat grow louder.
We've also been on the other end of the spectrum, where we pull a move so smooth brained that it puts us back on th hook.
Point is that it's not always the killer being a dick that causes the tunneling. Sometimes our teammates leave the killer no better option, or we put ourselves back on the hook with a bad decision.
Yes it sucks to be on the receiving end, but sometimes it just happens.

Here is a definition of tunneling.

Tunneling /v/ - When a killer player stays close enough to a hooked survivor player so they have the ability to return to the hooked survivor player the moment that player is unhooked with the intention of exclusively chasing, downing and hooking the same survivor player, that was hooked previously, before that survivor player is able to perform any other actions with the intention of removing that survivor player from the game or reducing the number of hook states that survivor has.

For me, it's when Survivors verbally abuse me in end game chat because I broke their made-up honor system about camping/tunneling/slugging, so I was 'toxic first' and 'deserve it'.
But we all know those types will ALWAYS be vile, and will invent any excuse to blame their target for their own actions.

Now that's kind of interesting. There's already a lot of people on this thread saying that camping/tunneling and slugging is toxic. So I guess the question would be, does one type of toxic behavior justify another type of toxic behavior.

I think being toxic hurts your own psyche as well as harming other peoples psyche's. When you participate in toxic behavior, it reinforces that type of behavior in your own personality. So where before, you have to actively force yourself to act toxically, more and more, your default behavior is to be toxic. No longer are you just being toxic to strangers over the internet as you continue, all of the sudden, you are subconsciously being toxic to friends and family, alienating them.

I think it's a learned behavior that eventually becomes a subconscious behavior.

You don't seem to understand that the Killer's goal is to remove everyone from the match. All you can focus on is HOW they did it, say you don't approve, and demand they be punished for not doing it in a Survivor Approved(tm) way.
Sorry, but you're wrong. The Killer does not deserve to be punished because they did not let Survivors get an unhook, or did not chase the first survivor they saw like a brainless AI NPC.
You don't get to decide what are fair ways, times, or methods to which the Killer has to adhere too, or face justice.
So again, no. No, there should not be a BP punishment, or ANY punishment, for camping/tunneling/slugging, just because you don't approve of it. That's not how balance works. That's not how player agency works.
Give the hooked Survivor BP for being camped, so the match is not a total waste for them. That's all.
Those screaming for 'punishments' are saying 'Force Killers to play by my pre-approved methods, regardless of circumstances. I demand my fake rules be followed!'
But game balance does not work like that, sorry. The opposing team does not get to decide how their opponent plays, because the opposing team, wanting to win, will always have a bias in those rules.

You are reacting, you are not thinking.

You agree that allowing one person to completely remove the ability of another person from playing your game is bad game design from a game developers perspective?
