I understand how you feel there.

[@racket804]

The full repair concept is really cool, and i potentially thought of another way it could work. Instead of creating a regression limit, full repair provides a shield for the gen which protects from a certain amount of regression. for example, a gen on 50% with 15% full repair that receives a pop would only regress to 40% and all the full repair would be depleted. regression from ruin would first eat away at the full repair then start to regress the gen. the killer could also see a visual cue for this, with smoke coming from the gen but no sparks or something similar. This could make toolboxes more useful mid game, and looting chests for them to protect a gen could be a viable strat.

[@wolfcub0545]

Otz on stream suggested (After the video ends, he keeps talking to chat for a little bit) That the sparks on the gen should be Blue instead of Orange if Full Repair is in play/blocking regression.

[@Cristian145]

Otz is out of his mind if he thinks full repair is a good idea on both survivor and killer. On the killer side, if you ever played/even watched games before killers could kick gens you see why. On the survivor side, it takes for ever for it to regress that low anyways so if it goes from 70% to 40%, it does nothing. If it ruins from 99 to 12%, it does nothing. It's only good when it would have regressed all the way to 0 but that only happens if a survivor isn't in a swf or if the killer has ruin. Both seem like a game problem or a ruin problem. Not with toolboxes.

For example, if they vault a window, you can easily aim down sights and fire without giving them a chance to dodge your shot. But if they decide to not vault the window, you can easily cancel your shot and hit them with a basic attack instead. Additionally, since there’s almost no delay, the Survivor must constantly dodge and run erratically just in case the Killer decides to shoot."

[@Cancan86975]

The full repair change would be too weak to justify bringing toolboxes over medkits. It would only work if the gen goes back to 0%, and even if they did it would only save 8 seconds of repair in that niche scenario. Most of the time gens don't go back to 0% as a survivor usually makes sure to stop it, so a toolbox wouldn't help at all. It would only be useful if a 4 man SWF all brought toolboxes and used them on one gen, but that just widens the gap between solo and SWF. My suggestion would be to instead of protecting the first 10% of a gen and nothing else, full repair should act like a shield would in any FPS like Halo. So if a gen is regressed, it must first regress the shield of 10% (which would be 32 seconds normally) before it can regress the repair progress, for example. You can put a cap on the maximum shield percentage to prevent SWF abuse.

[@owlrageousjones3442]

Makes sense to me. I think the only times I really see gens fully regress is in a really tight 3 gen or if there's only two survivors left and they're having a time of it.

[@Cancan86975]

@@owlrageousjones3442 Yeah, if a survivor lets a gen go from 75% to 0% then that's their fault (unless Ruin is in play). To go from 75% to 0% takes 4 minutes normally, so a survivor has ample time to stop the regression. Survivors can instantly stop regression so most good survivors would never let a situation happen where you need the full repair idea Otz proposed. I feel like the "shield" idea I mentioned would be more useful across all levels of survivors, as long as you make sure to add a cap per gen to prevent SWF abuse.

Maps being as imbalanced as they are isn't great but it's made 100x worse when some guy with 4000 more hours in the game with you can afford to send you to awful maps every single game while you're just trying to get your new killer to level 30 to get their teachable

[@gbBaku]

Chat seems to dislike the idea of medkits being nerfed, but honestly, a brown medkit with no addons save 16 seconds from the heal (plus the time of having to look for someone to heal), while brand new parts save 20 seconds from a gen. And you have to hit skill checks with a brand new part. The fact that a brown addonless medkit is comparable to a brand new part makes medkits astonishingly strong. The brown medkit should make you heal with selfcare speed, and if you want to heal faster, use better medkits or use addons. That would make medkits more fair.

[@mckinleyknight1775]

Reading otz's chat is just advanced masochism

[@nelprincipe]

IMO, change medkits to be more in line to what they did to toolboxes by reducing dramatically the number of charges with a caveat of allowing self care at half speed even if depleted. Example: brown medkit only has 8 charges and works at normal speed. A full heal would with it comsuming the charges would take 8 seconds (for half bar) + 16 of self care, bringing in line to the numbers proposed by Otz (24 seconds). A survivor can save the charges 24sec heal or waste time to save the charges.

[@TeamLexana]

If medkits healed at self-care speed, peeps would just use self-care.

[@Predated2]

I mean, thats not exactly how the maths work. But the bigger issue is the lack of self heal options in this game that arent depending on selfcare or medkits. Heck, I'm even of the opinion that selfcare should be basekit and that healing overall needs a rework. Or at the very least, injured survivors should be able to go somewhere to the map to help them recover 1 healthstate(even if they are slugged, doesnt matter as they need to crawl a very long time for a single pick up, if survivors are downed that long without the killer ever hooking them they are supposed to be picked up). Then simply add in a health bar that is worth like 10-12 hits. Where if you take a total of 10-12 hits, you die on the spot, regardless of healing items or perks. You could even argue that 1 hook counts as 1 additional hit, meaning every "normal" game you'd have 3 hits per hook if survivors fully heal inbetween, for a total of 9 hits. This would discourage people from taking hits/bodyblock unless they have a ton of hits remaining, and it would punish people with BT. The only killer that would be a menace to this, is Legion. But that's simply adding 1 exception to the rule, where Legion's hits only count if the survivor is healthy.

[@splash_code]

Regarding Toolboxes, it's a great change and it would be amazing for 3 gen situations too - either use the toolboxes at the start, or if you get 3 genned you can use them to make sure the killer can't keep constant pressure.

[@pokerusfreak8194]

I do think, as a killer main, that 3 gens are just boring and annoying. You can easily spend a few minutes defending the gens and the survivors still manage to complete them, or if they feel its hopeless they can choose to play hyper immersed waiting for another person to die so they can get hatch, and it wastes a LOT of time for everyone involved. From times I spend playing survivor solo, 3 gens are near impossible to break without the teamwork you would find in swf but cant really get in solo. Having some kind of tool or another that could help deal with 3 gens, although it might hurt a little bit as killer for pressure end game, would ultimately benefit both sides (especially if the tool doing it was previously a form of early game pressure for survivors, basically adding time to the beginning and taking time away from the end). I would rather move on to another game than feel the constant sweat of trying to keep my three gen and still ultimately failing if the survivors are good, or instead of spending 10 minutes with survivors playing crouching simulator and not getting to do anything but patrol and look for birds.

[@MacaroniMan_]

would be too much if they stacked though because then if you 3 genned as survivor use 2-4 toolboxes on a gen and the killer could never regress it below 20-60% depending on toolbox brought in or found in chests

[@dadotic]

@@MacaroniMan_ But that also means they would have to save the toolboxes for the 3 gen and not lose them by then. It adds that choice of do I use it now and protect a gen early or risk losing it to protect one at the end. Generally unless the survivors played really well, at least 1 or 2 survivors would be sacrificed by then so even if they happened to choice a gen that ended up in the 3 gen it gives the remaining 2 survivors a better shot at completing it especially if it's a strong 3 gen. As a killer main I think it'd be fine. As it is only having 2 people left with 1 or 2 gens left is almost a guaranteed 4k or 3k with hatch against a good killer. I feel like it might make things more fun on both sides because survivors wouldn't just give up and the killer would still need to pay attention. Obviously, the killer could camp that gen but then any survivors left could just work on a different one using it as a distraction. You do have a good point with it though with you mentioning they could just find one in a chest. Though that would mean they took time to find and open one which isn't a guarantee it's what they'll get, so I still think it's pretty fair and gives them a real chance at escaping when they might not otherwise. Even if they stack with one person constantly finding a new toolbox, that gives killer time to find them while they are out searching chests. I do think it should take at least a little bit of time to activate. Maybe you have to progress the gen to that point before it gets protection?

while i agree on the charges requirement for activating the syringe/styptic, i would say we need a way to tell exactly how many charges we have left since the indicator isn't very clear and i would completely hate to have my medkit at what appears to be 16 charges but are in reality 15.9 and unable to use the syringe/styptic

I wouls say that unlimited brown items for each survivor would be even better, for many reasons... one of which is that shared inventory would surely break a game, i just can't imagine Behaviour having the inventory done in such a way that it would allow such thing, i imagine they tied inventory directly to a character it belongs to, not as a separate thing that is linked to this character... and by all means, its not a bad solution, when you don't plan having a shared inventory system.

[@corruptedsystem.]

In dbd mobile there is already a shared inventory, there is also have a blood market from where you can buy items, add-ons and offerings with bloodpoints (map offerings and hatch offerings are shared with killers too). The only problem is that you lose the items you brought in the game if you used it even for 1 second. They could use the same thing in here too. I forgot to mention, that the blood web is replaced by an xp system, so you have to play a character in order to level it up and get it's teachables or prestige it. The best part about this is that each time you prestige a character you get 10 (p1), 20 (p2) & 30 (p3) auric cells.

[@dadotic]

I like this idea. Considering there's nothing really special about individual survivors aside from their teachables, it'd at minimum make some people a little more willing to play other characters.

Yes! If there’s one thing DBD needs it’s more fun and unique, casual game modes. Maybe they could add a playlist that alters between different game modes every week. For example, they could add a game mode where you have 2 killers vs 4 survivors and multiple hatches that are one time uses will spawn one at a time. And the survivors objective is to escape through each hatch one at a time before being caught and killed by the killer. And the killers would have to work together to kill each survivor before they all escape. It would basically be like a whack a mole type game mode. Maybe that was a terrible example, but the point I’m trying to make is that I feel like DBD needs some different game modes that are just taken lightly and are fun to play.

The medkit suggestions are changes that, as a solo queue player, I can’t help but feel really skeptical about. So many of the more drastic changes made to this game are based around SWF and while I think that’s fair, solo queuers will just continuously have a harder and harder time. In my humble opinion, medkits are fine and provide a simple solution for those that can’t find a teammate to heal them. They don’t last forever and if you bring perks to make them last longer then you are using up perk slots that could be used for DS, Borrowed Time, Dead Hard, etc. so it’s still a trade off.

[@gdeery8496]

Hard agree. Most ppl run medkits BECAUSE they are solo queue and usually can't depend on teammates to heal them. Nerf that and you're just making it harder and harder for solo players, while swfs are not affected at all because they'll just hop on comms to meet up and heal. Using perks to make medkits op comes at the cost of better perks like BT, DH, etc etc and I think that's a fair trade off. The toolbox suggested changes also don't make sense to me, the uses would be so niche because no good survivors would let a gen regress to 0% from let's say 70%. The only thing toolboxes would be useful for is ruin, which not every killer brings anyway. I do think toolbox add-ons should be nerfed though.

That same feeling would now be shared with the killer if survivors used a toolbox. Besides, you could kinda keep track of what items survivors carry. If you see a Nea run away from 1 gen and you know she entered the match with a toolbox, then see a Meg run away from another gen and you know she entered the match with a medkit, you know to kick the gen from Meg rather than Nea. It's not 100% RNG, it's more a scenario whether it's worth keeping that generator or let the generator go and use Pop on a generator you rather keep close to 0.

Managing to maneuver to an angle to blind the killer when he picks up the survivor without being seen is quite hard, and even then if your timing and aim isn’t perfect the killer can super easily look away and it does very little.

You don't know anything about what your team is doing at any given time unless you're in an SWF. Because of this SWF have huge advantages. Giving some information to the survivor team while buffing killers to compensate will mean that SWF have less of an advantage over solo queue.

One thing that wasn't really mentioned is the fact that those items are only a problem because you can start with them. I really hope sooner or later items that are obtained mid game get some sort of buff, because logically they should be better than the stuff we can get we can bring from the lobby. Right now boxes are more like noob traps than strategic options: It takes time to find a box, more time to open it and then there's RNG for what will be inside and even more RNG for what rarity will it be, not to mention that if you want it to have addons you have bring a perk just for it (Which will also create another layer of RNG for what addons you get), which btw is an entirely different perk from the one used to find boxes/better items. Oh, and let's not forget that there's a limited number of boxes to begin with, so you can't even keep trying until you get what you want/need... Honestly, I don't believe just increasing the speed at which we can open boxes would make them worth our time, even if it was instantaneous it would still be essentially a trap for beginners.

[@nikolachiara9285]

It's more of a for fun thing than be powerful, as it should be. Most things in dbd can be pointless in some way or another, but at least chests let you have fun with them and spontaneously high roll, killers don't get anything like that so it seems perfectly fine to me

[@richt7525]

I agree with this logic to an extent. The wait a minute moment comes from the realization that now you'd just be ensuring those same strong items will be popping up in the trial, guaranteed, but you won't know which they'll be and will be even less prepared to deal with them than you were in the lobby. As a survivor that already favors the plunderers, ace in the hole, appraisal build- boxes are already pretty dmn powerful if you choose for them to be. Buffing the boxes would need to not apply to that build because it already gives me the ability to leave broken items all over the map, and making them even better than the pink and purples i usually get with green addons or better, on average, is disgusting. Although it would make being a plunderer a more popular and viable role in the group. I'm divided.

@@nikolachiara9285 I mean, I get that some people may have fun opening it gacha style, but it is a bait that brings the team down. I mean, I can't do the math so don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure even if you lucked out and got the best toolbox with the best addons you will rarely ever make up for the time spent since the time to open the chest itself is the same as the time the base best toolbox save. BNP may save you 20 seconds, but you're probably taking more than that if you're searching for chests (Which you probably will, considering you're already bringing perks for it in order to get an addon). I'm not saying that chests need a HUGE buff, but rather that they shouldn't be nerfed alongside the lobby ones. Perhaps make it so items brought through lobby not have their max charges?

[@MatLCF]

@@richt7525 Yeah, I can see how it can be misunderstood that way, but I didn't mean "buff" by making better items come more often or something like that. What I meant is that items obtained in match should be kept around the same power-level they have now, and instead have only the ones from the lobby become weaker (As I said in my last comment, perhaps by having them with lower charges when brought in or something like that). Honestly, if this change made it so every "meta team" had one person with Plunderers, Ace in the Hole and Appraisal I'd be all out for it. Currently we always have to assume every survivor runs Unbreakable + Dead Hard + Decisive + BT until proven otherwise, not being able to have 3 of these perks would give killers a new way to identify (Either through map awareness, Hoarder or simply luck by being on the right place at the right time) possible weak links, and also be one more person doing side objectives instead of gens.

I don't think the styptic is all that much, 8 seconds is fairly easy to count down and not until yet i've seen a survivor reach to a safe place, though there could be a time others have made good distance with those seconds and that isn't impossible, so i do understand however, 5 seconds is barely anything. I pretty much agree on them having to need charges on the medkit to use them, but not lower the seconds on it, or have it so, the more charges you have the more seconds (that being up to its 8 and 5 being the lowest). As for the syringe i think 32 kinda wonky, its funny how that addon was super busted and then after the nerf no would used them for a long while, now its said to be busted again... just leave it at 24 same as a heal and i think that would be fine. Everything else i totally agree with, and i do play more killer than survivor, however when i do play survivor the item i most love is toolboxes as i send less time on a gen (Since i consider that to be the boring part of the game), with this change, i feel like i wouldn't like them anymore, that would be kinda of a bummer but i guess its compromise.

When you take that into account medkits time efficiency wise are even better than a BNP because it let's you go back to doing a generator safely much faster and keeps you further away from a hook state so it keeps snowballing at bay more.

First Step : Denial

[@daddy-warfunk1956]

I really like the "full repair" idea for toolboxes. Little to no speed boost but guaranteed progress.... works for me. I always thought they should change base healing times. Make it a bit more realistic and make it so the killer is rewarded for injured states. Lower the base heal time from 16 to 8 seconds... each time a survivor goes through an injured state... add 4 seconds to be healed. Play with the numbers however you like.. but the idea would be that each time you get injured, it takes longer to become fully healed. It could be capped at 32 seconds. The heal times would be faster or slower based on Killer/Survivor perks and items/add ons.

[@pkspadoosh5275]

I think that one of the really big problems when it comes to balancing survivor is that it is both the weakest and strongest role in the game, as solo queue is clearly the weakest thing in the game, while swf is the strongest The first thing to do would be to buff solo queue to swf levels, then nerf swf

[@The111avatar]

Absolute giga brain

[@kaleburns9347]

Def nerf swf first, then buff solo. A good swf (which is like 70% of the games I get) is so friggin powerful and annoying, especially when I’m trying to learn a new killer who takes a lot of practice (ex: Pinhead, Blight, etc). If they were to buff solo que (unless they could do it without affecting swf), it would entirely end killer’s ego stance when facing swf while they try to figure out how to nerf swf

[@crowbar2368]

I think a Iri-Addon for the tool box that would alow you to Incress the Strength of 2 Pallets on the map making them take longer to break for the cost of wasting a few seconds of that survivors time earlier. Each Upgrade will take 50% of the tool box's Charge Alex's toolbox will take 20% Instead

[@nickgordon7880]

I play both sides evenly. I'm not totally against some of these ideas. But what about killer add on? Some of them significantly change a match just like med kits and other strong survivor items/offerings. There are many things that make this game unbalanced.

[@MiquellasFarts]

Yeah exactly, like some of these ideas are ok I guess but like, then killers have a bunch of add-ons and stuff that drastically make the game in their favor. So like what are we gonna keep asking the devs to nerf everything into the ground. Idk all these different things you can bring in to change the game make it alot funner both sides included.

[@TheBloodyNights]

I think that while a Medkit can seem strong. Some killers just completely negate how effective they are. Plague, Insta down chainsaw bros. Nurses, Spirit's, and Blight's are so damn quick that you won't have much of a chance to use it, before they slap you to the ground unless you are in a ridiculous area. There is also the fact that killers can see your items, and see 4 medkits, or whatever item the survivors might have. And bring Franklin's to counter it. There are also perks like Nurse's calling that can seriously help out stealth killers in countering it with their small terror radius. Now they are definitely good still especially against weaker killers. Like Clown. It's also good against Pinhead. Or just saving your unhooker from needing to spend time healing you so they can do a gen. But I honestly think they got plenty of counters as is, from the killers themselves, and from perks like Franklin's. Toolboxes though they have little counters imo. The charges are used up so faster that Franklin's probably isn't going to stop their effect on the game from happening. There also isn't a killer that can counter them either outside of just leathality. However most of the time a single toolbox isn't that impactful. It's usually just when it's used with 4 of them, with especially strong add-ons. The true counter to not wanting to deal with this...is just leaving the lobby. Again unlike survivors...who can't see who the killer is and that they've brought some op add-on's killers can easily see what the survivors have and just find another match. But I could agree with a change that could make them a bit better in a solo situation, rather than in a group. Perhaps the shield method could work with some tweeks. Flashlights - They are fine as stated. I honestly think there is a lot of killer add-on's that could be adjusted. And obviously kits that could be looked at, both to buff up certain killers, and to tone down certain killers. All of the add-on's you mentioned being some of them.

[@marshallyoungmandy8434]

The only killers that don't Care about medkits are Plague and the top 3 strongest. Instadown Bros are mid Tier killers, and even they are forced into M1. I don't think the game should be balanced to account for Just the top killers Just like It shouldn't be balanced Just for the best that survivors can bring(overall). I also think one problem in one side doesn't justify another for the opposite side. Franklin's has counters to It, and honestly you should be happy that a Killer IS giving UP a Perk slot(Far more precious than one Perk slot for one survivor, mind you) to counter items rather than to help themselves or counter survivor Perks. Nurse's is only good on stealth killers, but that Perk IS itself countered By spine Chill (which itself IS a counter to stealth), and you can heal in a pallet or on the Edge of the map or something like that. The biggest issue with items in general, IS that they are an extra advantage for survivors on top of perks and addons(and It's a 4v1), that's why they shouldn't be strong unless you also bring good Addons on top. Toolboxes are underrated. Just one Brand New Part IS already Very strong, 4 are basically broken(It reduces the ammount of gens to be done to basically 4). They are not comparable to, for example, delay perks, because as, Scott Jund put It "DbD is balanced around game delay". The time efficiency IS for the most part with the survivors(because of the early game), game delay IS Just a counter balance. Toolboxes and gen speed perks Just add a further level of unbalance to the game. And again, the survivors are 4, they have strong Addons, strong perks, and then there IS the strong item. The argument for dodging a lobby for people using items doesn't work because the Killer can't Tell the rarity of the items(or the Addons), sure neither can survivors, but considering as i Said, that items are an overall advantage for survivors (above the Killer), i think that IS fine. I have suggested this before, but It would be cool If, like DbD Mobile, the killers could at least Tell the rarity of the item(not the Addons), that would indeed help with this dodging lobby thingy. It's silly to slap on Franklin's or Dodge a lobby, and It turns out everyone was using Just Brown items.

[@marshallyoungmandy8434]

I also forgot to mention that survivors can switch the items last Second.

[@TheBloodyNights]

@@marshallyoungmandy8434 Let me clarify, medkits have a an effect on the game just as any item or perk should. So obviously every killer cares about a survivor being able to heal themselves in some way shape or form. And I also mentioned how stealth killers are the ones who benefit from Nurses Calling the most. Spine chill being a counter to stealth killers, while true...isn't really a counter to nurses. You could easily look their direction and then moon walk/side walk if it bothers you that much. Spine chill will light up for a split second only to disappear and they will think they are safe. Also I fully disagree with Franklin's not being a very very strong perk to bring to stop medkits. Most survivors do not have a way to heal themselves from other perks and will have to rely on wasting time to find other survivors to heal them. And many survivors will become suicidal trying to go get their purple medkit that was knocked out of their hands not to lose it. I think the problem lies not with medkits, and honestly even otz changes will do little to help the lower tier killers who actually care about medkits, they still got to a strong area. They still can't afford to commit. It might cost the survivor like 4-6 extra seconds but that won't be enough to help a low tier killer out. They need kit buffs. Though it might help Blight hook someone and see them on BBQ and dash half way across the map and intiate chase before they can finish. I already agreed that toolboxes when brought into a match especially in multiples was too strong. And would prefer a change to some degree. You also can still do something about items swapping last second. But must are too lazy about it. I know I did this personally when I was playing and saw two survivors swap from no items to a map and a key last second. I just turned the game off, and turned it back on, took maybe 30 seconds. I didn't get penalized because the game didn't start. It's not something that survivors can actually do. That's why they dc mid game not to deal with some nonsense that the killer might have, or just kill themselves on hook. I did say Franklin's has almost no impact on toolboxes. Which is why a change is something I'd be down for. Also....I'm completely against the killer even being able to see survivors items in the lobby. Since survivors literally have no clue if they are going against a fairly balanced match against a killer with standard addons, or one with absolute insane add-ons, with an ebony mori. Who's entire game plan is to be as toxic as possible to survivors. While as killer you can see hey these guys got similar team names, they got multiple flashlights, a map, medkits etc. I can dodge this, restart the game if there is a last second switch, or prepare my perks accordingly. Or bust out the super strong add-ons.

[@marshallyoungmandy8434]

@@TheBloodyNights I Said that because in the right hands medkits are pretty much always the best item to bring(minus Plague). There's a reason why in tournaments they don't use 4 purple medkits and stuff like that. My point talking about Nurse's is that It IS not a Very good counter to healing. Like i Said, you can still heal. You Just gotta be more careful. And giving UP a valuable Perk slot to counter items is not very Fair, since It's already perks vs perks. Once you know the Killer has It, you Just gotta hide/drop the item. Regardless my point was that, again, bringing Franklin's IS usually a good thing, since the Killer IS giving UP a valuable Perk slot, to counter(not even completely) items. It doesn't matter what exactly should be the nerf. They still have to be nerfed, for the simple fact that they are an advantage that the killers don't have. Imagine for example A Spirit with the two best Addons, and 4 slowdown perks vs a 4 Man swf with 16 meta perks, 4 ranger medkits+4 gel dressings+4 anti-haemorrhagic Syringe. Do you really believe the survivors are weaker or equal? I bet money that they would come on top most of the time(assuming equal skill). I know you can do that. But that shouldn't be a thing. You shouldn't have to close the freaking game to have to start It ALL over again, Just not to deal with It. Or have to get a DC penalty. Yes the survivors don't know the Killer, but that doesn't matter since you can't change the Killer anymore. And although you can change perks and addons, neither side knows what the other Will bring. The killers already know which item you have. Why not at least show the item rarity(not the perks or addons). Só that you don't Dodge a lobby Full of Brown toolboxes or something. That's exactly what they do on DbD Mobile, and you also can't item switch last Second.

[@TheBloodyNights]

@@marshallyoungmandy8434 If the survivors drop their medkit to avoid franklin's you've already gotten value out of a Franklin's. They have to go out of their way to go pick it up to use it, and hope they don't run back into the killer in doing so. That's if they were even close to it's location after the chase is finished. Also running far off into a corner to avoid Nurse's range also effectively nerfs medkits time effeciency. Also I think it is very fair that a killer can choose to use a perk to deal with items. Sure the survivors have strong perks. Like Descisive, borrowed and Unbreakable. They may not come into play at all but they are strong when they do work. But for the most part their strongest perks are anti-tunnel perks. Their strongest perks are pretty much only available after being downed and put on a hook. Killers perks that are strongest are all centered around some sort of game delay. Franklin's may be a weaker variation on game delay, but it is still game delay, and an option to use. Also regarding your scenario where every single survivor brings the strongest medkits and add-ons, while I'm assuming they are the best of the best survivors, all in a group and on coms. Which I haven't seen in like...3000+ games. I'd say...it's probably even if not in the Spirit's favor when Spirit sticks on Franklin's. lol And yes the killer shouldn't have to restart the game because they don't want to deal with potential op add-ons, that may or may not be there. But at least they got the option to have some sort of heads up. Survivor's don't. So no I don't agree that they should see the add-ons rarity. I still don't think they should see anything at all. The only thing I'd show would be who is in a party together or not.

[@14Blackspirit]

OMG I WAS THERE! 0:12 Also to balance the map offerings BHVR should do it like this: -The map offering doesn't guarantee a 100% chance but only a 40 % chance to get there. If 2 survivor would take the same map offering they would cancel each other and it would split in 20%, 20% for each survivor that means only a 40% to get to the map so it never get's over 40% for this one map. If 2 survivor's would take different offerings I would make it like 30% / 30% split. If 3 would take different offerings then 20%/20%/20% and if 4 different map offerings are offered then I just would split it like 10%/10%/10%/10%. It is not a fair split but math is hard.

[@b4rk_b4rk]

I would like to agree to this, but I think this makes it more challenging for the greater majority of the players who play this game. If you make a game hard to play a lot of current players or potential players are just gonna quit and not bother playing. I feel these changes would be better for sweaty players who play this game a lot and understand a lot more of the mechanics. But for players who casually play this, it would just make the game more unnecessarily challenging than it already is for most survivors and we would end up with a barren game. The only thing I can think of is make a separate mode like Casual and Competitive.

This "too confusing for new players" thing really limits what you can do with the game. It's an infamous Valve dev quote justifying not adding a new map that was made, and it was as dumb then as it is now. What is even so confusing about these changes? Medkits heal yourself slower, map offerings have diminishing returns and aren't guarantees, and maps just get straight-up buffed. I don't know what you're on about.

I thought the point of the gate tracking addon was that you have to first work for it by finding the gates yourself, and then you'll always be able to find them again if your sense of direction sucks, or show them to your teammates with the crystal bead. Also, alternative suggestion for map offerings: - Remove map offerings completely - Give all players the ability to vote on a map, independently of offerings, or leave it at random, which would be the default (sort of like in Mario Kart) - The game randomly chooses one player whose map vote will be granted The selection process could possibly be weighted more strongly towards players who aren't in a group. To avoid people always voting for the same maps every game, voting could cost some BP, or alternatively there could be a BP boost if you leave it on random.

[@PrincessFelicie]

I love the "full repair" idea. It's also great if the survivors ever three gen themselves; go open chests to find toolboxes, get one of the three gens to 40% full repair, and now they have an actual fighting chance!

[@ciege5109]

I think the "full repair" ("FR") is a great idea. For the survivors it gives options; 1) do I use this up in the early game to pocket a gen later (maybe a lonesome gen in the corner or to make breaking a 3 gen later), or 2) do I hold it for late game to anchor a killer in one spot (assuming the gen will stop doing the gen regression animation and potentially fool the killer into thinking survivors are nearby or worry the killer into proxy camping a gen that would be faster to complete). For killers it gives options too; 1) if survivors used multiple toolboxes on one gen to pocket it for later I may want to give up on that gen and patrol the others aggressively in the hopes that the survivors will complete the pocketed gen instead to preserve the late game, or 2) late game, recognizing that a gen has been full repaired, I could angle chases back to that gen and hopefully get a down nearby and work off the sunk cost fallacy (Survivor: aw geez I put so much effort into that FR gen I gotta keep doing THAT one [like a moth to a flame]). It adds strategy and potential counter play beyond perks which is cool.

[@iamsolame_6967]

the perks otz showed for survivor first is the same build i’ve been running for months now

[@WR1317]

My idea on items is to make them "equal" to Killers' powers, which is make them free, but have a single version of them (Brown). So survivors always bring them in game all the time, but items overall is more like "training wheel" rather than game changing, which is requires addon for that. Broken key: - Dull key item become Dull blade addon (Brown): instantly open one chest. Then lose addon. - Skeleton key item become Skeleton blade addon (Red): open hatch. Then lose addon. Flash light: - 3sec of use. A single blind. Medkit: - Allow to self heal once, takes 32sec. Equal to 1 time self-care Toolbox: - 64 charge. Doesnt boost repair speed. But constantly spawn skill check. You have to hit great skill check to actual boost speed. - Cant sabo without addon. - Faster repair speed addon reduces charge. Map: - If you're 4m close to anything, they will be added to the map. Which mean you have to run around the map before using it for more effect.

[@mokadelic4037]

I thought about something really strange, but what if the devs makes it so that certain underrated perks can "combo" with each other to gain extra effects or amplify their own? I think this would encourage most people to go out and try new and creative combinations of perks instead of relying always on the same ones... Just a simple tought. What do you think?

[@richt7525]

I like this idea. Ok, so how about certain set bonuses, like many games do with armor sets. Certain perks could have points to certain set abilities and only get that ability if they fill out the tree. These points could be intentionally distributed so that the meta is shattered and less used perks will see more sunlight. I like this idea a lot

Or 3k+6k(styptic)=9k AND IT CAN BE actually dont needed all game ;( ALSO I can be comedian: yellow medkit(4k)+Abdominal Dressing(5k)(-8 charges, but fast heal)+Syringe(7k)=16k for fast heal with you nerfed Syringe.

Am I the only survivor who heals others with my medkit? 😂

[@screamingcactus1753]

The issue is that, if one survivor heals another, that's two survivors who aren't on gens. That's why self healing is so strong, it means that only one survivor needs to be off a gen in order to heal. If you have a medkit, the best thing to do is drop it for the other survivor to heal themselves then get back on your gen. The extra heal speed you get from healing someone else saves you significantly less time than you lose from not working on a gen, especially if the killer has Ruin.

[@nytecrow6452]

[@Aci_yt]

Personally, I like map offerings. I think they should re-balance certain maps instead, so they're about equal. Something else they could do is map voting, where you could bring an offering to give you two instead of one vote. As for items, maybe I just haven't played enough, but I think if someone brings rare items or addons, they deserve to have an advantage. After all, they spent time to get bloodpoints to spend on that item/offering. Especially since there are perks the killer can bring to counter items (e.g. franklins demise) I even think keys should be buffed after the hatch rework, to maybe open chests faster or something, too.

[@bread3050]

The problem is that items don't actually have a counter. When going against good survivors, you need all four perk slots for helping in chase, finding survivors, gen regression/ management, etc etc. You literally end up not being able to spare the perk slot for something like Franklins. If you take Franklins, you would end up having to replace another valuable perk, creating a deficit in your build that survivors can work out and take advantage of. Not to mention that Franklins currently reduces more charges the longer the item sits on the ground- survivors usually end up picking up their item fairly quickly and could counter Franklins with the new version of Built To Last. While there's almost no counterplay on the killer side, there's actually 0 counterplay on the survivor side. Take, for example, the tier 3 Myers mori addon. When pairing it with something like the hair bow, it's possible and very easy to stalk and then kill a survivor less than a minute into the match. Obviously, that immediately puts the remaining survivors into a losing situation. It's not fun for the remaining survivors, it's not fun for the survivor that got mori'd, and I imagine it would get a bit boring as a killer. I think that's the point of this video- that strong items should have a use, and provide a clear advantage, but they shouldn't be as ridiculously strong as they currently are, nor should they allow for specific situations like genrushing, mid-chase heals or insta-mori-ing. With Otz's suggested changes, items would still provide a clear advantage, but they wouldn't require you to base your build around a counter to the items you saw the survivors bringing.

[@Aci_yt]

@@bread3050 True, I agree with the summary, at least mostly. I personally think there should be more counterplay, but I love mid-chase heals or early mori (e.g. devour hope) without 2 hook states as a gameplay mechanic. I don't think they should be removed, but some of them, like the meyers mori definetly need attention.

[@hemlockgaming2748]

Finally something about nerfing items. (Note this is about things used ALL AT ONCE.) I really hate it when people bring the best items like Syringe, Instaheal, Ranger Medkit, Bnp, ALONG WITH unfair map offerings like The Game/Rpd/Haddonfield, 4 man comms, abuse the best perks (eg standing in front of you after BT save, DS taunting, prove thyself), abuse the best loops or semi infinites non stop, then proceed to tbag at every pallet, bmbmbmbm at every opportunity because of the use of everything TOGETHER. One of such things is already enough to change the game, why should all these strong things be allowed to stack together and literally ruin games?

Kiilers move faster and have stronger perks, use your brain better

[@AbyssUK_]

The toolbox idea is one of my favorites yet. I had an idea, but it was kinda dumb to add it by itself, however with this concept I think it will prove to have a good effect. Remove the ability of survivors being able to instantly tap a generator and instead add the same duration to "kick start" the generator after the killer has damaged the generator. It seems like a huge privilege to damage a generator, yet the survivors can just tap mouse one. This is more shown in chases and intense moments where the survivor can sacrifice small distance to negate any repair progress from degenerating. Obviously, with perks like ruin and pop, this feature will be stupidly broken - so perks like these REMOVE the 'kick start' prompt and instead work like they do in today's game, straight back to repairing. This probably needs tweaks, but I believe its a more stable way for generator flow.

Hello Otz, I suggested this change to toolboxes and discussed it with my friends and they liked it: You spawn with a toolbox with no charges, then you can choose to charge it up while doing a gen with 50% speed penalty, like you are collecting parts from a gen in your toolbox, so that you can speed up another gen with this parts, you can also not charge it and do gen normally. After you fully charged it you are able to use the toolbox normally, you can't charge it anymore With this change toolboxes become not the tool to make a first chase cost 3 gens, but a tool to push a 3-gen quickly, finish a gen faster when killer comes and actually become tactical use rather than 'I press one button at the start and win the game' Thanks for your attention if you read it, I'm having fun with your streams lately with all the experiments you do!
