  1. I don't think they'll nerf it. It's a scary perk, for sure, but it's not overbearing for survivors. It has counters and there's a good chance you'll never get to use it in some matches.
    As for slugging, in general it's too effective strategy imo, but when you go against a squad of Unbreakables it becomes unreliable. It's something that should be looked at by devs.

  2. I (both sides) don't care about slugging as long as it's not like currently

    Slugging because one hook is broken, or because one survivor is just annoying with a flashlight or similar, than its totally fine, but if a killer refuses to pick up any surivor throughout the entirety/most of the match (which doesn't happen often, but happens more often currently), than it gets annoying, because you're literally on the ground for half the game, and can't do anything, because the survivors can't find you with k.o. or don't save you because the killer is always within 5m of you

  3. Coconut, I gotta ask. To fix the gen rush issue, do you think making it more difficult to do gens rather than more gens or longer progression time would be the best choice?

  4. Starstruck is a very good perk, gives u 1 shots, good for setting up 3 gens, and stops a lot of altruism. All while being a perk the killer has complete control over. Wonderful design. Personally while trickster isn’t exactly the strongest thing in the world, his perks are all great. No way out is a healthy perk, while also adding essentially another half of a generator of waiting for every survivor if the killer performs well, the only one that’s iffy is crowd control, which can be controlled by survivors, but the way they have to counter it makes them VERY vulnerable, but it’s a hex, unfortunately.

  5. Starstruck is cool especially on hag, Nurse, spirit, doctor, Deathslinger and maybe on Wraith (agitation also helps with smaller terror radius) but beside giant terror radius doctor survivors can easily counter it by moving away from killers terror radius while they are carrying someone to the hook (or even their location), especially it works even better with sprint burst and lithe or as mentioned below simply go completely immersed (the amount of lockers and cover on some maps…). Mostly starstruck is so effective (beside on hag, doctor and nurse) because survivors got extremely used to be completely safe while and after killer puts someone on hook that they literally forget that starstruck exists…

  6. It really sucks that it'll probably be nerfed because its actually fun to use. I wouldn't be surprised if they nerfed it to make people exposed only while you're carrying someone which will then make it very situational and dependant on the players you're against.

  7. Entitled survivors bitching to the devs so they are like OK let’s accommodate bad survivor play to make it harder for killer. Starstruck isn’t even that hard to go against. Dont be in deadzones.

  8. Honestly I was thinking it was going to be nerfed between PTB and release. I am kinda shocked it has not been nerfed yet because. Well its BHVR. Its a damn good perk on a decent amount of the killers. I know I said it to a few players who upload videos on youtube ( you being one of them ) during the PTB. I know I said it on Steam Forums ( I do not go to the "official" partially due to the steam forums being easier to access as well as being the original "official" forums before their fav people got their permissions for being mods taken away for abuse of power. They did not like Steam doing that.. and of course those same two got put on as mods/admins for the "official" forums on their web site. )

    Honestly Starstruck has been insane on my Wraith ( Keep in mind I play him fully different than others.. and I have a terror radius when cloaked and have distressing.. Now do you get a hint of how evil my Wraith is? ) , my Doc ( Its practically map wide with the build I use ) , my Hag, and Nurse builds. I want to try it on Freddy but have not got it yet, ( One more bloodweb should show it since I am basically just missing Tricksters perks on him. I just have not been spending the BP yet )

  9. As for the whole slugging thing. Slugging has always been a core part in the killer's arsenal. But unbreakable is still part of the meta. Soulguard is too if the survivors are wanting to show off their size. ( and a lot still use that build I have noticed in rank 1. ) So slugging is not the best thing to do a good portion of the time in Rank 1. But as long as they are not using full meta build you should be fine to slug them admittedly.

    Slugging was a big part of how you had to play pre-rework Freddy. There where basically 3 setups. The slugg style, the forever style ( Not as strong on original Freddy as remake Freddy. ) , and Overcharge Freddy. ( The, the survivors are going to regress the gens for me build. ) He got soo screwed over when survivors realized Bill had that perk but for a long while survivors refused to use it. claiming it was useless.. Of course same survivors previously would break all the hooks and play slugs due to it.. but of course get mad that you did not pick them up.. Back hooks did not regenerate.. Though now there is a bug that the devs are fine with survivors abusing.. and from what I have seen it might become a "Feature".. Something I am not happy about. It is something that basically makes sure that hooks are destroyed despite the survivor not being death hooked. A few SWFs have abused this bug before the devs said it was fine.. and I have encountered a LOT of SWF that have abused it since..

    Good thing for me that I do use the memebuild that uses iron grasp,agitation, and mad grit on a portion of my killers.. But not all of course..

  10. I swear to God this game is full of the worst player I've ever seen. Not attacking Coco.

    A perk that literally tell everyone, "you are ONE SHOT" is getting omar value out of the game, it's just shoes how terrible survivors can be, and why the balanced is so busted against good survivors.

    Truetalent demonstrate how to counter this perk just fine.

    You do the extremely difficult task of holding Forward…. Ffs survivors.
