I don't know if it's just me or not but recently I feel like survivor just isn't fun anymore. With survivor it constantly feels like I'm having to deal with something extremely unfun whether it be stupid teammates, killers I hate going up against (Looking right at you Deathslinger), aggravating bugs (Like the most recent pallet bug which makes stunning killers borderline impossible), or people using really unfun strategies (Tunneling, Camping, etc.)
I've always been annoyed by these things but it feels like only in recent times that I've just been avoiding survivor and playing more killer. I still play survivor from time to time but 9.9 times out of 10 I won't have any fun in a match and instead be frustrated or bored. It really sucks because I enjoy looping and the whole team thing on the survivor side, but I just can't seem to get much enjoyment out of it.
Is anyone else just not enjoying survivor as much recently? Or is this just me taking the game too seriously?

Just turn crossplay off for pc, or use their discord swf, it makes for more consistent gameplay

in Anyone else just not enjoying survivor anymore? Comment by bjorksnas April 4, 2021

I think its in the best spot its ever been, a non abusable anti tunnel perk that isn't overpowered at what it does and can still buy enough time to make killers lose games if they tunnel.

If you aim to the right of the window, the survivors can only avoid getting hit by cornering up, because you have considerably more control over a lethal rush than you are pretending. You absolutely have enough of a turning radius and hitbox width to hit the survivor of they try to take the window or fake it to the right. The only way for the survivor to avoid getting hit is to immediately corner up, in which case you hit them anyway with a basic attack because you can bodyblock the window during your cooldown and they can't make distance anywhere.
Perhaps you should put a little more effort into learning what basekit Blight can do instead of relying on an exploit.

Corning up is riskier but more guaranteed to make the blight go into fatigue, but not following a beaten path or being farther ahead of the blight pretty much guarantees safety, you are to ingrained into your ways where being trying to be overly optimal is hurting your potential to outplay the other side that you can't even see all the options available you only saw the window and the rounding and think a j-flick can do both but even if it can, it can't hit anywhere in the middle of the tile at the same time, there is oppertuninty to outplay you just can't see it

best way to outplay a survivor who only sees the options as window or round the tile is to risk a j-flick, best way to outplay a blight who j-flicks is to stray from the beaten path, if you think the blight is going to j-flick start rounding the corner then immediately break away from the wall towards the middle of the tile and the blight will miss, after that you have 3 options at all times to outplay the blight on that tile which is a 33/33/33 to outplay a killer who j-flicks which is pretty good odds which by then will force them to play more basekit only and conservatively with j-flicks unless you become predictable

You can absolutely adjust your trajectory mid-Lethal Rush lunge. J-flicking doesn't change that or interact with that at all, meaning you can absolutely get survivors without them ever being able to dodge if you position yourself right, as any decent Blight would.
Or to put it another way, if the Blight aims for the wall just to the right of the window, nothing the survivor does ever matters.

As a person with 10k lethal rush hits who discussed it with another person who has 40k lethal rush hits, im going to say the answer of no, other than a small adjustment of 5° or so if you commit to a j-flick theres no turning back from that or converting it into something else and the hitbox of the rush is only large right at the start and only a little bigger at the end so that survivor isn't getting hit if you predict wrong, if blight j-flicks for the window he will only hit the window, if he flicks for the totem/spot where boxes usally spawn next to the window he will hit there instead, not both, and never has it been both, and even then the LT wall tile can still be played by running the top of the T, hitting the top of the L, hitting the locker, then rushing based on where the survivor is in that exact scenario for a guaranteed hit, j-flicks only have the potential to do a risky hit to speed up a chase they are never a guarantee due to counterplay and how skilled you need to be to do it consistently and are usually a risk in any senario they are used in, for riskier but more fun and rewarding gameplay

Its an exploit so is stretched. Itll be removed mclean confirmed it. It doesnt make you a better blight since it gives you less counterplay and straight up allows you to completly ignore loops like T and L walls. And if you gloat about doing it and say every other blight is bad because they don't cheat (just like survivors who brag about stretched) whos the one cheating? All there is to it. Take it from probably one of the better blights out there i guess. Stop cheatin.

I mean if all you can do is parrot someone elses opinion rather than have your own I don't really know if thats an opinion I can respect, you basically just regurgitated what was in the video. Also he forgot the locker exists in all LT wall tiles that would have made it much more consistent for people who don't want to risk J-flicks.

And yes I said risk J-flicks because its not a guarantee like he says, and im not going to take it from scott who as much as I love his content, he doesn't fully understand J-flicks, scott plays blight but his points about j-flicking tells me that he lacks complete understanding of them before he formed an opinion on them, they are not a guarantee they are a risk if you j-flicked for the window thats all you could do you couldn't branch off to try and hit the window fake if you wanted to it doesn't cover all his options, it just widens his answers to situations.

People mistake tapping a gen to stop regression the same as repairing a gen.
Make it so you have to work on the gen for a few(and i mean a few) seconds before DS gets deactivated. It should also start the cooldown after another survivor is hooked.

Nah, kicking the gen takes like 2.5 seconds and you want someone to be able to tap one while invincible to remove the little payoff the killer gets by doing so. Should stay the way it currently is

People want Deathslinger to have counterplay that isn't predropping pallets and holding W, especially since that tactic doesn't even work against a good Slinger. It certainly never worked against me back when I could actually aim.
Killers shouldn't always be able to get a quick, guaranteed hit. That's just not fair and it's just not healthy. All it encourages is genrushing. Survivors need to have something to do in a chase that isn't wildly guess and hope the killer screws up. With Blight, the only place that exists is in short loops, because he is forced to play them as a basic killer. And the survivor is forced to play them because if they run, they get hit extremely quickly. Suddenly the chase becomes interactive instead of one-sided.
Except his exploit completely removes that and, at best, replaces it with a killer-sided guess.

And so what we can't have another strong killer with a power that has killer sided guesses that reward skillful play, we literally have nurse a shining example of it so we can't have anything close to it anymore?

Yes, we actually can. Unintended features are implemented as features all the time. Game design is not as plain, boring, and black and white as you're making it out to be. The best ######### ever added to a game can be unintentional because it's fun and adds something new that wasn't there before.
We're human beings, not robots. We don't have to see something as "This is exploit. We must fix. Beep boop beep bop." If something that isn't intended but is working just fine with the intentional game mechanics and people are enjoying it, then it shouldn't just be removed; It should be embraced or left alone so more people can understand it and use it.
The worst part about this situation, the ACTUAL unfair part about all of it, is that people are crying out for it to be removed because it's busted and breaks Blight have never gone against it, have never used it, and have never developed or seen any actual counterplay to it which very well exists (watch 1v1/1v4 scrims against top tier Blight players. It's VERY, VERY counterable).
All this is is a bunch of parroting. Truly a shame.

Some fun examples of things to support your argument of features being implemented

combos in fighting games

rocket jumping in quake, which is also seen in games like tf2 and other movement shooters

Because Nurse, Deathslinger, Pyramid Head and Spirit exist. I don't want yet another ridiculous killer who has no real counterplay. That's just the most unhealthy thing I can possibly think of. If someone wants to play a killer with no counters, go play one of those and stop pretending a guess is counterplay. Or keep pretending, what do I care, just leave Blight alone and let the Devs fix this stupid exploit.

Blight has more counterplay then all of them j-flick or not, if you think differently you obviously don't play blight or killer enough in general while complaining on a thread for people who play blight to suggest why j-flicking should be removed or why it should be endorsed.

Turning corners is meant to be part of the counterplay to Blight. J-Flicks remove that.
Blight was given a turn restriction for a reason. J-Flicks are just the result of bypassing that built in restriction. I do not consider that fair.
Can you counter it? Sure. If it became a feature, I'm sure people could adjust. I don't see that happening, the devs don't like it, so I think it should go.

Yea but as counterplay running in a circle has been in the game since the beginning with killers like trapper, its boring and having a hard to use mechanic that increases the skill ceiling that can both circumvent it while also having its own counterplay is much more fun design than another killer you just go around in a circle with.

What counterplay? Assuming that every Blight player is gonna exploit his lunge is counterplay? So it's another 50/50 but this time the 50/50 is "is the Blight cheating or not"? Awesome.
No it doesn't, he's still a high-tier killer without this stupid lunge, and if you think he isn't you and everyone else who thinks like this are relying on this exploit too much.
These killers are already played enough that the removal of an exploit isn't going to change the amount of Pyramid Heads and Spirits, and Blight is already not played often.

If you aren't worried about the playerbase of a killer then why bother with arguing against them getting a mechanic that makes their gameplay more fun and interactive

Because it's an exploit? It's not a super serious one that I'm going to bother complaining about every day, it's not like a 360 turn with Oni or anything (although you can still 180 with Oni's lunge the exact same way as Blight can), but it's still an exploit, all other exploits get patched out, why shouldn't this one.

Exploits can become and be accepted as game mechanics, its happened in the past where exploits and unintended mechanics become game mechanics.

Wow it "adds another layer". Cool beans. It should still be removed though. Exploits are exploits. Exploits should be fixed. Simple as that. We can't start cherry picking which of them we should keep and which we should fix.

Exploits and unintentional design becoming mechanics due to them being fun is actually a pretty common in game design

Rocket jumping in quake

Combos in fighting games

Ghandi becoming nuke happy in Civilization

Just because a mechanic can start out as unintended or an exploit doesn't mean it can't be accepted or added in a more complete state.

That's not counterplay, he just missed. The survivor didn't predict or account for the flick, the Blight just messed up.
People need to stop equating mistakes to counterplay.

That was the only example I had on hand there are plenty more examples with more active counterplay to j-flicks, and while its not spirit levels of no counterplay its closer to huntress hatchet levels of counterplay where you can bait it out or juke them, dead hard through them, go around objects in weird ways but its way more interesting than he will be without it.

The logic behind wanting the j flick gone makes literally no sense to me.
Has counterplay, makes playing blight and playing against him more skillful.
Buffs blight to the top 5, without it this makes him a mid tier killer.
If the j flick was removed more people would play spirit, nurse, twins and pyramid which are infinitely more unfun than blight.
What's the issue if it does nothing but benefit the game.

I don't know what the point of removing an accidental mechanic from a high skill killer that made their skill ceiling higher instead of just accepting it. If they decide its a feature the skill ceiling suddenly jumps higher, if they decide its not more people just play nurse and spirit

If anything, it making playing as and against blight even more skillful.

Why should we endorse an unfair feature that takes away a big part of a character’s counterplay, that needs a specific setup to accomplish meaning it isn’t available to most players?
I’m a killer main but defending j-flick as a balanced feature is a new level of bias - Blight is already good enough

If the counterplay to his counterplay had no counterplay I would think it is an unfair feature, however as j-flicks have counterplay im going to disagree with the fact that it takes away a big part of his counterplay, as it only converts a big part of his hard counterplay into 50/50s where both sides have the oppertunity to outplay each other

Blight is fun because he isn't simple, J-flicking will remove most of the movement on his rush attacks and dull him down, its like the oni update that made him only have a 30° demon strike, it just dumbs down a fun mechanic

How do I avoid the killer? just second guess myself? no disrespect

Ways to avoid a killer

Stealth, just be where they aren't or be not where they think you are this can be done by, using knowledge of where the killer is to not be around them such as information like perks such as alert, object of obsession + something like off the record, Bond, Empathy, Comms with swf, Kindred when they hook a survivor, as well as perks like spine chill, and premonition to hide when they are headed your way / around you to prepare to hide around them

Chase, if you are good enough at chase they just don't especially certain killers being absolutely hammered by certain tiles 110 killers by house of pain for example, literal infinite or most killers vs a long Haddonfield fence

I think the perk should have only 1 scaling factor so the perk looks like either

speed increased by 3/4/5% and lunge distance decreased by 40% or speed increased by 5% and lunge distance decreased by 60/50/40%

that would make it much less reliant on perk tier

I'm checking on this, it definitely didn't feel right when I played him last night - something was off. Will update more when I have it confirmed as a bug or not.

My guess is the uncloaking movement speed has a multiplier that affects post uncloak speed boost, the speed boost still works normally on pallet breaks with the serpent addon for as if it were pre-4.6.0 update uncloak speed boost, so my theory is thats where the problem lies in the speed boost multiplier being based of its new lower uncloaked movement speed value

I think this might be the case because old uncloak speed boost was about 6.9 m/s or around 3.5 times his uncloaking movement speed, so it might take the new value of 1.6m/s and use the old multiplier of 3.5 to only reach 5.52 m/s instead of his old 6.9 m/s speed

Honestly im hoping the speed is just a bug due to base uncloaking speed having been a multiplier for his speed boost which will be adressed in a hotfix or two, because if not then wraith is in the same sad state he has been in for a long time if not worse because post uncloak speed was very much needed, and the reason I think its a bug is becasue breaking pallets with the serpent gives the normal speed boost that pre 4.6.0 patch did
