Is Lithe OP?

[ThePeeje]

I thought i was good at this game. Until i tried playing without Lithe. My chase time went down by more than half!

Makes me wonder how anyone can keep a chase going without it?

It's not op.

you need time to adjust to playing without it. without the speed boost you need to play alot smarter planing out routes and trying to lose line of sight as much as possible so bloodlust wont stack.

I just dont see how its possible. I feel like the best player on the team every match. My chases are always the longest. Now without Lithe, theres just no way to put distance between you mid chase. Maybe its become a crutch. But still, i think it may be a top 5 perk these days. Now SB took that big nerf and isnt always going to be on tap when you need it.

Lithe is the best exhaustion perk but it requires a brain to use efficiently, which is why most survivors skip it and take SB instead :)

why use your brain when sb can make up for been cought out unaware.

it very much is a crutch. when i stoped using exaustion perks i died all the time untill i adjusted to playing without them. i would recomend taking somthing like window of opertunity so you can make sure areas your running to have windows or pallets.

your just a noob, and you don't loop.

Im about as un noobie as it gets. 1400 hours in game. Plus another 100 or so on console. Im sure we all grow dependent on our fav perks eventually. But objectively speaking im wondering if Lithe used well isnt one of the strongest survivor perks in the game.

Some people used to argue its SB. But actually its limiting and best for noobs with no awareness of game sense. But lithe, if used well as part of a planned move, just adds so much more time to a chase. Time is what wins matches.

Actually maybe im not so bad without it. Just double pipped vs a pig on haddonfield at R1. With dark sense and dejavu! No DS. No exhaustion perks. No Self care. But it would have been much easier with Lithe.

thats pritty much it the games playable without those perks you just have to play better because thye make it easier. there like playing a mage in darksouls.

I feel you. That's why I don't use any exhaustion perks anymore because I'm trying to get better at the game.

Thanks. Yeah it feels like im literally without my only weapon in this game. No DS is fine. Just accept the hook. No SC is ok with heals and first aid kits. But no Lithe means ive got no escape. I can run for a short distance but not enough to get from one zone to another. With so many unsafe pallets these days, its a real chore. From a survivor pov i kinda wish everyone used lithe. Its that good.

Nevermind. Just realised my p2 Bill im using now has BL. Gonna give it a try and see how it goes!

Lithe triggers most often in jungle gyms or in main buildings, and the killer wastes an additional time to take another path or commit to the window, which makes it also harder for them to track you since your scratchmarks faint over time as well.

I don't think it's OP though. Only 1 time use (per chase) and it's not like Sprint Burst that denies you a good ambush.

Yeah its certainly nice for ambushers. It struggles vs pig, wraith , hag and nurse mainly. But all the rest, anyone with a terror radius, you can really waste a lot of their time. I usually start with a loop or two first, then extend it to the vault just as the gap is closing, then mind game them so they go the longer way around. So its literally double the length of a chase without it. Even more usually.
