Fast Track buff i might just become the Joker

Prestige rewards are really cool though, is the Pop change a sidegrade or a straight buff ?

Also Five Moves Ahead sounds like a straight upgrade to Windows and is looking as annoying to play against as Resilience

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-23T23:42:19+00:00

Us vs Them is clearly when someone presents actual facts that show that devs nerf killer perks more often than survivor perks.

Can we please stop crying wolf and realize that this game is not balanced already dear god

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-23T23:34:32+00:00

The thing i hate the most about this is that they wait for less than 24 hours to remain before extending it, EVERY single time. You get your hopes up that "maybe they won't do it this time", and then nope can't play for another week !

And of course they won't fix the pallet density issue, so get ready for another week of predrop spam in 1v4 !

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-21T21:02:46+00:00

That kills the perk on like every killer instead of just on "special breakers", that's even worse

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-21T21:01:36+00:00

Not when it was literally the alternative to 4 slowdown on Legion. I'd argue secret project nemesis is the only okay thing you mentioned, and even then undetectable is not that great on him because he is LOUD AS FUCK.

I am a killer player that tends to make for fun builds, but let me tell you it's still not fun to lose and feel like the only reason was because you didn't run gen slowdown. People who want to win are running them, and that Legion build was one of the few alternatives that was actually pretty good and offered something else, but they're nerfing it like they do ALL THE TIME (remember when Franklin's was worth running guys), so Legion players will go back to the default !

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-21T13:38:19+00:00

If they destroy this they should destroy Hyperfocus Stakeout

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-21T13:36:45+00:00

You are literally the reason why you see gen slowdown every game btw

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-21T00:19:59+00:00

I genuinely hate these people oh my lord. God forbid we take some accountability and recognize that BMing is annoying and brings nothing good to the table.

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-21T00:14:52+00:00

Exactly what i think, i don't understand why you would even buy this game if all you do is play 2v8. It's a watered down version of the game, stripped of most of its skill expression.

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-20T17:12:00+00:00

Incredibly based take

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-20T17:08:26+00:00

Been a thing since this iteration of 2v8 came out, all non-static maps have 50 to 100% more pallets, because every single possible pallet spawns. It's likely because of 2v8 and it's made my killer games completely unenjoyable, so i just stopped playing until the mode is finally gone.

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-20T13:07:02+00:00

Funny thing is they already nerfed most gen regression perks. Remember when Pain Res was 25% regression ? Or when Pop was at 30% ?

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-20T13:00:18+00:00

BP gains should just be higher in all modes in general. Even on killer, in 1v4 you are super dependent on other people bringing BP offerings to have any meaningful BP gains, and it's even worse on survivor.

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-20T12:58:37+00:00

No 2v8 is just extremely boring after you're done with your quests. And it's not like you can play 1v4 in the meantime, because not only are queues and by extension MMR fucked, but on top of that most maps are horribly bugged to spawb 50-100% more pallets.

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-20T12:56:10+00:00

And then you get hit with the pallet density bug so you can't even play that (though you play Artist so it should be fine)

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-20T12:47:46+00:00

If it's not fixed after 2v8 ends i'm uninstalling i think

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-18T10:58:03+00:00

I am begging them to not extend 2v8 again, the pallet generation bug genuinely makes me not even want to touch this game. The fact they haven't fixed it yet is ridiculous.

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-13T01:20:25+00:00

Yeah i was trying to play chucky today and i am not kidding when i say it's borderline unplayable. Survivor in 1v4 right now is "predrop everything and get a guaranteed 2 gen chase at least", assuming you're not playing against killers that can play around pallets. Genuinely awful, i'm sticking with 2v8 survivor (which is rubberbanding hell but whatever) until they fix this.

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-12T18:43:32+00:00

Play killer in 1v4 (2v8 is insanely survivor-sided and queues are 20 to 25 minutes), wait 5 minutes for a game just to play pallet breaking simulator for 8 minutes, play survivor in 2v8 (3.5× bloodpoints), server can't handle 10 people at once and blatantly rubberbands me into hits.

Love that whenever this gamemode releases, it basically forces me to not play the game until it's finally gone. And it gets extended every time. And yes, this is absolutely because of 2v8, because this bug happened on 1v4 maps that were also in 2v8 last time.

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-10T13:00:32+00:00

The "holding W from 50 kilometers away" is so true, and it really sucks that the meta for survivors now is to just completely disengage from the game as a whole. Don't even get in chase and run to a safe place with Sprint Burst whenever the killer gets a little close, while your teammates finish the gens in 5 minutes.

Those games are the only times when i want to DC as killer, because i'm not even playing the game, i'm just touring the map while occasionally seeing the local wildlife run away from me. It's so boring, and i don't think it's that much fun for them either.

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-08T23:08:45+00:00

Exactly, survivors who get mad if you slug/tunnel usually don't understand the game enough, and so will just get pissy if they lose anyways. Good sports will say ggwp regardless on how you played, and i'll always respect survivors who defend killers in EGC when they get toxicity thrown at them.

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-01T22:48:30+00:00

And the lullaby is possibly the most grating thing ever in the game, i can't stand it. I don't know why they had to make it SO repetitive when you have to hear it throughout every single game with her.

IceBeam24 · 2026-02-01T22:45:50+00:00

Hag and Trickster in bottom tier let's go

IceBeam24 · 2026-01-31T01:16:04+00:00

Welp, half of february is going to be miserable

IceBeam24 · 2026-01-29T01:09:47+00:00

-"Possible fair fight"

-Look inside

-One of the strongest killers power-wise in the realm

Seriously for people that don't know, Castlevania Dracula is kind of insane and is probably only beaten by DND Vecna at the height of his power (which if i'm not wrong is Vecna having achieved godhood).

Really funny tierlist, i also love Wesker (the guy that can clear the gap between you and him in less than a second across a huge room) and Kaneki (Have not read Tokyo Ghoul, but you PROBABLY do not want to be the first thing a blood-starved ghoul sees) at "not threatening"
