Perhaps this is just me, but I honestly think the only thing more boring in design than a simple instadown is a simple instadown that doesn't work some of the time.
I don't have a problem with the current Iri Head and I definitely don't think the devs did anything wrong with it - it had one specific problem and they fixed that one specific problem - but I do agree that it's a kinda lacklustre design. Making it only work at a certain range is just frustrating, though - unless it's a low range that's intended to only prevent melee hatchets. That I'd be on board with.

Teabagging CAN just be being cheeky and playful, in most instances. Teabagging at the exit gate and running out without letting the killer hit you is just to be aggravating, though.

Why on Earth would they do that? Being in a chase is fun and being facecamped isn't. Besides, if you're genuinely being run for five gens, you should probably have dropped that chase way sooner.

Well, if such a rule were to be put in place, NOED should be the exception by merit of how terribly designed that perk is, is my point.
Even if that were true (which is an assertion I think is very very silly) the response would be to redesign NOED, not exclude it from game mechanics out of misguided spite.

Problem is that it's not an issue as long you know that it can spawn there.
That's why I have been using Detective's hunch for like hundred games to learn all possible totem spawns, now it is really rare for me not to find any hex, as long I find 1 totem, I can usually find rest, because there is pattern.
True, but the ideal situation would be that you can seek out totems without having to rely on something like Detective's Hunch or Counterforce to locate something that's incredibly out of the way and obscured. Obviously totems should take some looking for, but there are some in the game that are a little too difficult to find without aura reading perks.
Granted, most of the bad totem spawns are bad because they're out in the open and way too easy to spot, but it's important to note that fixing the totem spawns would be beneficial for both sides, not just killer.

No, because it doesn't address what's wrong with the concept at all. Survivors are given powerful hex perks that can't be removed, unlike the Killer.
Powerful perks that they have to not be doing the objective to maintain, though. And they can be removed- just not one-and-done, which is good, because that means it's an actual reason for survivors not to be on generators and not a temporary annoyance that doesn't affect anything in the long run.

Asymmetrical is a synonym of unbalanced.
It's really not. In this context, "asymmetrical" means that the two teams have different goals, not that they're fundamentally unbalanced. A game like this absolutely can be balanced, and DBD really isn't that far off- survivors should absolutely have the ability to escape if they play well and evade the killer.
Even looking to the game's inspiration, characters aren't always killed in horror movies- the Final Girl is a trope to reflect this exact concept, after all. There's absolutely no reason it should be a given that the killer 4Ks, that just sounds unfun for everyone involved once the novelty wears off for killer.

While I did vote for Android, I don't really want like, Terminator- rather something rusted and rundown and animated perhaps more by magic than machinery, to better fit the game's aesthetic.

IF any further nerfing is necessary (Which remains to be seen), I think the killer extinguishing a boon should put a cooldown on the boon's owner's perk, preventing them from replacing it for, say, 30 seconds.
And no leeway for NOED. It does not deserve any. Plaything overriding a boon is fine, but NOED should not get that cop-out.
I like the cooldown idea- it shouldn't be too long since it shouldn't end up being the same as the perk being limited-use functionally, but it might be a bit healthier to give the Killer a few seconds to breathe when they snuff a totem. Probably not necessary, but definitely a good place to look first if Boons end up being oppressive still when they hit live servers.
Very silly statements about NOED, though. It'd be a broad overall game mechanic, not some special privilege afforded to NOED that it "deserves".
-
I'd agree with that- this is a good example of it screwing over Killers, but Survivors sometimes have to deal with ridiculous totem spawns like that one brutal "round a corner in a box at the edge of the map" totem on Lery's.
They need looking at in general.

I dont have it, is it really good or just good?
In my opinion it's the strongest early-game perk by a wide margin, and the benefit it provides for the early game is worth trading away a perk slot after the first nine seconds.
-
It's very quickly become Lethal Pursuer, it's such a good perk.
-
I like the idea, but I have a question- would there be any visual indication for the Killer that a pallet has been trapped, or would they have to just walk through it and get stunned to find out?
-
I think the nerfs are absolutely a step in the right direction, but I'd like to echo the idea that hexes like Plaything and NOED should snuff a boon to spawn if necessary, other than that they'll be in a pretty healthy spot. It might be nice to see more nuanced interaction with hexes, but that's more of a nice idea than a necessary balance component - Boons ought to be in a good spot when they hit the live servers.
Never understood the complaints about them being infinite use. Changing that completely negates the entire point for both sides of the game, it's a non-starter of a suggestion on par with just saying "delete them".
-
I want to see more crossover skins in general, like the Crypt TV collection we got a little while back.
Because I'm a particular flavour of trash, I particularly want to see The Grand Highblood as an Oni skin, or Damara Megido as a Spirit skin, but I know that's far-fetched.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there is a mechanical reason it's easier- Merciless Killer is based on the emblem system, which is based on your Grade, so getting Merciless at Ash IV is easier than getting Merciless at Iridescent I, right?
Or did they change that with the SBMM rollout?
