Forced Penance can give a surprisingly large amount of value. Specifically it instantly gives the maximum amount of anti-heal value possible for that 60 seconds.
Let me explain:
Anti-heal perks only come into play if the Survivor wants to heal. And a good Survivor (we don't care about bad Survivors) will only heal if doing so is worth the time it takes to do so
Since Survivors do heal when no healing or anti-healing perks are in play, that means that in general 32 seconds on a gen isn't worth as much as a health state, since it takes 32 seconds of gen time to heal (16 seconds * 2 Survivors = 32 seconds).
Most anti-heal perks increase this value, so obviously the more time spent healing then the more value you get right? Not quite, because:
If a Survivor chooses not to heal when they otherwise would, that means you just got the most value possible from anti-heal perks. Any further slowdown is irrelevant because they aren't taking the slowed action, however any less slowdown is also less value because if they slowdown is small enough for them to go through with the heal, then that means the time spent is still worth it compared to just completing the gen, meaning that healing is still preferable.
By breaking the Survivor you've forced them to not heal. This means you've effectively slowed their healing speed by exactly enough to convince them not to heal, whatever number that happens to be. As I've previously established this is the most value you can possibly get out of an anti-heal perk
So all of this is to say, broken is the best anti-heal method possible and if you don't value broken then that means you aren't running a build that cares about anti-heal.
That said there is still the OTHER part of the perk, specifically it's prerequisite of a protection hit.
This is also fine. A protection hit isn't nearly as situational as you'd think, even if the Survivors aren't going out of their way to take them. This is because sooner or later they have to unhook each other. And hitting a Survivor while they are unhooking is a protection hit, and if the other Survivor body blocks with BT then that's 2 protection hits. But even if they don't it's not rare for a Survivor to unhook with you nearby.
There's also Survivors healing each other, you hit the healer and they become broken.
Injured Survivor works with a healthy one on a gen? Hit the healthy one and bam, broken.
The great thing about protection hits however is that the timing is also when the effect is at it's most value. You don't care about anti-heal if you are going to hit a Survivor and then down them. And a Survivor that just took a protection hit is the most likely Survivor for you to not go for a followup against. After all you have a 2nd injured Survivor to chase right there so there is no time wasted by just continuing to chase them. And the rare time someone body blocks the hook they will likely be long gone by the time you actually hook the person, so chasing them would be tricky too.
Anyways, the real trick with the perk though comes down to the Killer you run it on. There isn't much point in running the perk on a Killer that doesn't value anti-heal. Max value on those Killers doesn't say much. What you want is to play a Killer that Survivors would really want to heal against as much as possible.
That means Oni, that means Nurse and Spirit. But most of all, that means Stealth Killers. The Stealth Killers are by far the best Forced Penance users. They can force protection hits the best by ambushing grouped Survivors as I mentioned above, they really like hit and run playstyles and as a result staying injured against a stealth Killer is an awful idea and thus they get a ton of value out of this perk.
The build I use this on is the following:
Ghostface
Forced Penance - just explained
Whispers - helps me pinpoint Survivors if they try to go immersed, which they sometimes do to wait out thrilling, and saves time patrolling which is very important.
Surge - The perk is only good on Ghostface because the way he downs makes all of the prerequisites met pretty much every down. But it helps snowball and saves time kicking gens which is important
Thrilling Tremors - Forces the broken Survivors to not complete gens for awhile and pinpoints them if they try. Either way a big win for me, much more value than normal
I get a lot of value out of all 4 perks each match and I get the most value against the hardest teams too.

Legion can force that perk too, since they can force protection hits in frenzy far more often than many realize. : D

"Oh look! A well written arguement about a FNaF chapter! Let me see what I have here... uhhhhh 'FNaF is cringe' uhhhhhh "It's for 12-year olds" uhhhh.... 'No.' Argument gone k tnx bye"
In all seriousness, I can understand why some people may not want it, but oh my god, please make sure that you're giving the games a fair chance.
FNaF has a sh*t ton of memes about it, but so does DbD. FNaF has people that cosplay the characters, but so does DbD. FNaF has its fair share of children, but so does DbD. FNaF has a lot of art portraying the characters in a more cute than scary manner, but so does DbD.
I honestly don't get it sometimes. If you dont like FNaF, that's fine, and I'm not here to say you have to, but it's really easy to tell who's giving the series a fair chance, and who isn't. I hope we see Springtrap some day, and if we do, and you don't personally want it, atleast be happy for the many of us that do want it.

My first question for people like that is: have you actually played the game? If people say no, then I wont say their opinion doesn't count, but I would at least encourage them to take a read up of the Springtrap wiki. If I have to do that with Candyman, they have to do it with Springtrap.

That would put Bloodwarden in a really weird spot, though. Killers are notified when they can activate BW because the End Game Collapse has started. With EGC starting before the gates are opened, now the Killer doesn't know when they can hook someone and trap unwary survivors, yet if they do, likely all survivors are trapped inside before they even have time to react.
It puts BW in an unfair situation for Killers prior to opening the doors and an unfair situation for survivors after the doors are opened. Triggering BW would now be way too difficult to pull off right and simultaneously impossible to beat if it ever managed to activate.

The perk could just light up when any gate is opened. Simple fix.

I would love to have more mythological entities in the game. I think the concept is pretty solid, although her power sucks in a chase... but it seems to be a pressure mechanic more than anything else.

I didnt know who he was until people wanted him in DBD for chapter 16... then I watched the movie and it was... really meh at best.

I would actually prefer Springtrap or Slender to Candyman.

I'm just tired of people saying "its not working" after 4 matches when its literally been said multiple times that its going to take a couple of DAYS of in game time to accurately matchmake for you per killer. Everybody on the forums has played 3 matches and said wow mmr is #########

I mean, you're not wrong, but if you want your message to be heard, those things are important.

They said MMR was running in the background for about a month now, and that it was going to be actually running matchmaking from now on. They said it would have been calibrated by now, which is what I think a lot of people are confused/frustrated about.

That's one reason I hardly play killer or buy cosmetics for killers. I like to be able to SEE the outfit I payed shards/cells for. I feel like they could lessen the prince of cells or make it so you can earn auric cells like you do shards

This. Or, give an Iri shard price on all non-licensed cosmetics, because having the option to earn something is better than not having it at all.

Fat Thumbs, sorry Professor Meg. I didn't realize speaking on a forum required perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation in order to be read coherently and effectively portray my point. Oh, and by the way, when making a list, unless you've constructed one of full sentences, they aren't supposed to have punctuation. Have a nice day.

It is more like you are writing for people who want to read what you say, not how you say it.

If it worked like Assassins Creed Odyssey, where petrification builds up over time when they focus their power at you, instead of the old medusa, that should work.

@Springey said:
You can't really discuss Springtrap around here, the people usually don't read the posts and comment 'no', 'cringe' or/and '12 year old'. Sad, honestly, but you already saw it here, in this very post.
I hate to burst your bubble guys, but FNaF isn't only about jumpscares. Jumpscares are just the punishment for losing, while other games jumpscare you just... because.
FNaF is about the story... and no, there are not thousands of retcons. FNaF has the games, it has the three novels and the quite disturbing and sad 'Fazbear Frights' books that for some reason seem to be sold in the kids sections... I guess that's okay, children may not understand the stories written in them, I don't know. There's also a movie coming up, it's in works for quite a while know since Scott Cawthon, the creator of FNaF, wasn't happy with the scripts and want that movie to be actually good, he also switched from Warner Bros. to Blumhouse because he wasn't happy with it. He actually cares that it will be good.
Every franchise has 'cringe' children in it. But to use that argument for FNaF is... kind of sad honestly... if you don't want a chapter, just discuss it like a normal person, with arguments AND TRY TO ACTUALLY LISTEN TO PEOPLE... because that's a thing many don't do, they just go with the majority and hate something just because others do.
Little edit: Assuming everyone making those posts or wanting Springtrap in the game is 12 is actually pathetic to be honest, there's something called 'opinions'. Maybe come up with some arguments next time?

I think if he wasn't a part of FNaF, more people here would be on board with the concept. Peoples preconceived biases and opinions really blind them to interesting ideas sometimes.

Uhhhh you misunderstand me there, chief. I was agreeing with you. I was saying no one cared about killers having fun and that we have to play matches we don't want to all the time. And that I find it depressing people are still debating about DCing and punishment. Perhaps that was unclear in my post.

Maybe I did.

But literally no one cares about that. I have played a lot of matches I didn't want to play. I think it's sad we're even having this conversation in the first place.

This kind of attitude will kill the game in the future. Don't care about the killer side of things? What they hate to deal with? Then they won't care about what you find toxic/hate to deal with. One rule for thee but not for me is an unhealthy mindset and will ruin your games.

If killers had a way to cut their losses without giving survivors more points, then suiciding on hook would be fine, as that is what they do for killers regardless.

Either they need to balance their games, or give killers an out.

And you wrote to me, not the other way around. If you feel you wasted your time, that is on you.

I've said it before but the left hand is unrelated to if he has tombstone or not. A Tombstone Piece Myers can tombstone you with a closed fist. The open left hand is because of the movement speed reduction due to Judith's Tombstone, Vanity Mirror, he's just pushing lightly on the stick on a controller, etc. which gives him the EW1ish walking animation in EW2 and EW3.
However, playing the Tier Up warning when he has Tombstone is pretty neat. That was always so creepy sounding, and they removed it as a bit of a buff to Myers. I think bringing it back for Tombstone only would up the scare-factor a little bit (Although IMHO it's way more hopeless feeling once you see a survivor go from healthy to COMPLETELY DEAD and that's how you find out he has tombstone.) but they DEFINITELY need to let you tombstone people in lockers if they provide even more warning he has it.
I'd argue 80% of failed evil incarnate attempts that fail at 3/4 survivors dead are because the last guy hides in a locker just to prevent you from getting your achievement. Game should let you mori their butt because they're dead either way.

Well, then the DBD wiki is wrong. At least about his left hand
