  1. I know there are a lot of fun builds to run as survivor but I'm not sure how perks that make you do gens faster = boring. Doing gens faster means you're spending less time doing gens.

  2. Video is worthless .. as is every other video about this update .. takes at least 20IQ to realize that none of these changes affect gameplay in any way … Claud and and the worthless russian nea are still gonna be in the corner of the map cuz they heared the scawwy music 4 min ago … MMR is killing SoloQ … Even if this patch would have BUFFED soloQ Survs and made gens only take 30 sec each and the killer has to hit u 5 times instead of 2 … doesnt really matter if claud and the russian nea dont touch gens in the first place

  3. There's tremendous irony in this update where BHVR wanted to give killers more time in a match and extended gen repair speed by 10 seconds each, but by nerfing second chance and healing builds as much as they did, they inadvertently made gen-rushing the most viable option.

  4. Not to be a negative Nancy, but isn't suggesting a gen rush build just going to increase the rate that killers will be required to run slowdown just to be viable again? That was a reliance that a ton of players didn't want to have if they wanted to even stand a chance most of the time.

  5. The only explanation I can find for this video is that he's trying to misinform survivors so killers get easier games. Most of the genrush perks are terrible, and even Prove is situational, particularly given the number of Legions in the meta rn. The entire first build is awful, although BtL commodious toolbox builds are admittedly strong. Don't run any of the perks in the first build, they're all awful.

  7. Iv played over 100 games as survivor since the update and every single one someone’s been tunneled out of the game in the first 3 minutes while the killer runs 3-4 slowdown perks

  8. Intsead of all this fiddiling that accounts to people being frustrated, just give the majority of m1 killers slightly more movementspeed, there its fixed. You would think they knew how to balance this game by now.

  9. Well, I am just going to put it like this… The Devs refused to fix actual problems in the game and kept making band aid fixes instead trying to avoid those changes for so long, that at this point it's too late.
    These issues being mainly Gen Rushing and Second Chance Perks.
    Gen Rushing was always a problem, it was possible to get Gens done so fast the Killer couldn't get any pressure going, this could happen to even the best Killers. Tho it was unlikely, it pointed out a Core flaw. Instead of fixing the Core of the game to make sure games last at least X amount of time to give Killer's a reasonable base time frame. Instead, they took away resources of Survivors so Killers could end chases faster. Well, less Resources to stay in the game means you got to do Gen even faster, so people Gen Rushed more often. Which lead to Killers getting slow down perks. Not the best way to do it but alright sweet, Killers have more time… but wait survivors still have less Resources now as well. Guess what that means, yep Tunneling and Camping was even more Viable because they could end those chases faster and had time to do so. To counter this… we got second chance perks, which basically was just resources back, only problem is… these resources are stronger than the base game resources and then the Rabbit Hole has gotten Deeper since. Now, they are correcting this… trying to increase game time slightly, nerf these second chance perks. But the problem with that is you still have all these Gen Slowing Perks in the game… So now these changes become overkill.
    The only option is to do the Gens as fast as Possible because you don't have the Resources to match longer games now and God forbid the killer decides to eliminate someone right away. It's going to lead us back to square 1 but with a ton of other problems than the beginning.
    So, I predict Gen Rush is Meta… then Killer Games will end too quickly even with Gen Slowing Perks… which will lead to a Nerf to Gen Rushing. Survivors will have barely anything.
    Which will lead into a Hatch Meta, if Gen Rushing doesn't become meta then we are already in a Hatch Meta, no one will enjoy a Hatch Meta… so Devs will start adding pallets or another form of resources back in slowly to help Survivors in chases and basically reversing the game back slowly from there on.

  10. guys honestly i was trsting stuff out last night and new meta perk might be repressed alliance. usually a killer would force you off your gen and kick it with pop/ overcharge/ brine , then proceed to chase u as it regresses and your teammates dont stop it. with repressed just block the gen as a killer approaches and u only get the chase , not gen regression.

    sidenote i put on deliverance so teammates dont have to hop of gens wasting more time to save me

  11. Dunno why people are acting like sitting on gens is new. 100% necessary if you want to win no matter the meta perks. If anything this meta would have you spend less time on gens than before as you finish them faster.

  12. The way gen rushing can be dead is after 1 gen is comepleted all gens should be blocked for 1 minute this will KILL gen rushing because the patch made people run more gen rushing perks so this update made gen rushing more alive so when a gen is done all the gens are blocked for 1 minute or 45 seconds this shouldent be a perk this should be built in so the game can be more fun and lasting because the reason you got a game to spend time on it not just gen rush until ur iri 1

  13. BVH: nerfs healing and second chance perks to avoid unfun gameplay for killers
    Players: just gen rush to avoid having to do anything
    BVH: surprise Pikachu face
    Almost like they didn't think this one through

  14. I haven’t seen anyone else talk about this, but I think I may have figured out a new meta build for survivor.

    Off the Record/Renewal/Dead Hard/Whatever 4th perk.

    I’m gonna do some testing With it, but my theory is this. At some point during the match you heal another survivor granting you Renewal. Then after you get unhooked, you have 20 seconds before renewal heals you. Soooooo if you get hit in those 20 secs you get endurance from OTR. Then, Renewal heals you from having to mend. Meaning that you should be able to take another endurance hit with DH.

    Its boring to play against good survivors because in 5 minutes all Gens are done.
