Yes it does, I learned it just a while back, half the reason why I run it, so far... hasn't really been helpful, but considering how blind I am in a chase, it's nice to find the survivor again with DD...even though they were probably hiding somewhere close anyways but... it's still funny, lol

You could probably flip your Lightborn for Whispers if there aren't any flashlights in the lobby - It would make for a fun/silly tracking oriented build >:3

I guess so, idk, everytime I've run it I've always had stealth survivors and I always mess up my static blast, so I'm blind for another...is it a minute for static blast cooldown? And then I normally find a survivor by then

I run Whispers on Doc - Usually find someone with SB/increase Madness level in the first 25-20s of gameplay.

Dunno if you've tried it, but it's pretty fun/useful even when SB on on c/d

Except the killer now runs 3 perks the rest of the game, it's not like survivors exactly show themselves during those 2 minutes, they all go immerse

Corrupt usually gets me 1-2 hooks in its current state, which a pretty huge start for killer.

Overcome is a good one botany and self care have always been useless and otr is basically ds but without getting downed and wont do much you could just bring bottled time if you needed otr. Yea I mean your only using one useful perk. But the sad thing is you have to use a perk just to have the same distance as the game has now before the update.

corrupt was never a problem to begin with it works exactly the same ruin still regresses gens until someone dies when someone dies if its still 5 gens games usually over pop is still good if the gen has progress pain res is like the only true nerf now go on to the non meta perks that they buffed to the moon and tell me which ones didn't get better and like I said only perks that are good for survivors now are the gen rush ones. What survivor perk would you run that they "buffed"?

I can still get 2-3 hooks with minimal gen progression with Corrupt? Oh wait....

Ruin still regresses gens? Yeah, at 1/2 it's current speed and is now literally the only Hex perk that deactivates for progressing your objective....quite possibly when you need/want to defend a 3 gen.

To answer your question, I'll be running Self-Care/Botany/Overcome(more enticing than ever due to hit speed nerf)/Off The Record on the PTB, most likely.

It's always had counter play. The issue with it. Is it is bugged. The bug is what makes it unbearable

Yeah - someone being completely silent in a corner/crevice off the killer's patrol is unbearable, I agree - it's not a skillful/fun evasion/interaction as you're effectively non existent without LoS.

I'm wondering why these sound issues still persist - it would be nice to see how the perk should be working prior to changing it.

Perfect, I'll make sure to also bring DS and whatever the other best performing anti tunnel meta perks as well to pre medatatively get the killer to get emotional and waste the game getting me out of the match while my team secures and easy 3k.

I have no issues believing that you, in particular, will help contribute to a 3k.

I mean think about self-care: People who spend the whole match self-caring are more likely to escape than their teammates who are actually doing gens because they'll see the killer less, and they'll be healthy when they do. Especially in endgame scenarios where the killer is only looking out for the hatch/exit gates, not at random Z walls at the edge of the map.
Other than that self-care is only good in combination with medkits (which was nerfed) and edging out unfinished heals. At 35% with no medkit efficiency there is 0 reason to bring it for anything other than being an intentionally bad teammate.

I use Self-Care/Botany in the live game, now.

I average two gens per game and win a fair deal of my chases (~1 in 3) due to my other perks.

Seems you are falling into the misconception trap I mentioned earlier or we could just be in different mmr/servers.

All I play is solo q, and I can say wholeheartedly that you're all overreacting. God forbid you rely on your own skill instead of your meta perks.

I'm mostly solo (killer as side) and I'm looking forward to the changes as well.

The Corrupt Intervention change alone is going to do a lot for my matches, I'm imagining.

A lot of the niche perks also look pretty fun and will fit into my 'Totem' and 'Rescue' builds.

Honestly, with some of those things you dont need to play a single game to see that they are bad.
75% Noise Reduction with Iron Will? I have played against pre-Nerf Stridor Spirit, I know that it is pointless to use Iron Will now.
3 second DS-Stun? This was also the case back then, and it was bad, even without Enduring.
Increasing Gentimes without increasing Hook Times at the same time? We already know that camping one Survivor from the start will most likely get a 2K at least (with NOED), now this got even stronger.
It is sad that you can see this as player, but the Devs dont see that.

I'm personally ok with the IW nerf - I was never a fan of removing a way to notice/track a survivor.

The other things may definitely be dubious, but I'll test them out and draw my own conclusions.

I understand what you mean but some of these changes are so blatantly not good. Like I don't need to test on the PTB to see that the new Off The Record is wayyy overtuned.

I'll 100% agree that it is looking pretty nutty. The current counterplay is to tunnel the person out of the game before endgame, as any hook rescue will guarantee an escape at that point in most cases.

It's literally an invitation to chase/tunnel that person out of the game.

I don't think there's any problem with the behavior or mechanic.

If people removed their imaginary rulesets, it's a fair/risky play with the downside of potentially losing a hook state/dying.

OTR may seem more egregious, but if someone that was previously unhooked 30s ago tanks a hit or blocks an opening with Endurance, just tunnel them out before endgame. They've also not progressed the game any before punching their ticket to Tunnel Town.

It just changes the killers tactic. Instead of tunneling a survivor out at endgame, you'll have to go for hook trades instead.
This actually works put better for both survivors and killer. Survivors feel validated in successful rescuing their team mates, and the killer scores another hook. The killer is then back where they started defending a hooked survivor, so no worse off, and with more BP.
Chances are the hook trades continue and snowball until you eventually hooktrade a survivor on death hook.

If I know someone has OTR, they're not making it to end game.

in 'Off the Records' potential plays essentially forces the killer to focus the Unhooked. Comment by Raccoon June 23, 2022

I used Corrupt on most of my killers, but I'm 100% willing to admit that it was the most boring perk to face in my survivor games.

It required no input and had no downsides.

in Corrupt will STILL be meta... Comment by Raccoon June 23, 2022

If I see the killer facecamping by the NOED totem, which boils down to totem placement RNG if they're not cleansed, I'll open the gates and leave.

Personal choice, but I don't care about leaving people behind, especially if there's a visual indicator that it's my best option.

in "We like the way NOED encourages Survivors to pre-emptively cleanse Totems" Comment by Raccoon June 23, 2022

I'm a bit confused about the Stun change, as well.

I'd imagine, though, that much like Self-Care, the reality of the perk's effective usage/stats is probably different than community perception.

It could also have been nerfed due to the addition of innate anti-tunnel mechanics.

I'm most dissapointed in Spine Chills nerf, theres literally no point running it anymore

I'd probably have kept it as it was, but make it not work when the killer is undetectable AND also not work when the survivor is oblivious.

I think it would be way more thematic (ie those effects remove your 'situational awareness' / you have no inkling of danger) and introduce a couple of negative caveats to prevent the perk from being 'free'.

@TAG said:
Like I said in another thread, DH for distance let you both get closer to the pallet and get further from the Killer simultaneously. Now it does neither (unless you get the Endurance hit). I imagine you can still use it to cover yourself at the pallet, but the window will be tighter.

Agree.

Assuming the Endurance hit applies DW as per usual, dropping chase after a new DH to Pallet/Run Away still burns a little bit more time off the survivor clock which is leagues better (for the killer) than the impact of current DH, imo.

If it does not, I can see some potential issues with it being used to soak up window vault/pallet vault hits pretty easily....probably making it a better 'window' perk than Lithe.

I could be wrong, though - WHO KNOWS!?
