The Sabo buff is actually a nerf and should not go live

[LotsaBacon]

The devs have decided that Sabotage, a D-tier perk, should be 'buffed' when in reality this so called buff is a complete and utter nerf to a perk that required an insane amount of thought process and planning. The devs thought that giving it a 60 sec cooldown and making hooks respawn in half that time was a good idea. How?


Wooo now we can sabo the hook in 2.5 secs, but it doesnt matter because hooks respawn in 30 secs on top of hooks being placed super ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ close together. Sabo on live is fine how it is because it requires incredible planning and thinking. Plus it is not unfair. The new sabo now doesnt let you plan for hook saves and now forces the killer to slug more to get to stop breaking those hooks. The problem they are trying to fix will become worse with the new change on top of making the perk worse.

According to the devs, the perk was unfair for killers to play against because it forced them to slug survivors. So what? If the killer is now slugging a survivor and is now chasing another one that is two people off of gens and probably a 3rd one to save the person on the ground. The amount of pressure the killer would get is insane. This change is not at all needed.

This change proves that the Devs have no idea where to fix and balance perks that are actually strong. Instead of nerfing OP perks like adre, they nerf a D-tier perk.

If you got countered by old sabo, you are bad. I agree with everything in this post. I'm uninstalling if it goes live. This is such a stupid idea. Whoever came up with this idea should be fired.

Except that 2.5 sabo speed just enables the hell out of survivors that want to be scummy and break hooks in a killers face.

Thats why it causes killers to slug more meaning the change does not solve the issue they wanted to solve. The new sabo is completely useless due to the amount of hooks on the map and how fast they respawn. Its not going to make anything better.

You already could break hooks in the killer's face. It just used to take some brain cells to use. Then it gets put on a cooldown. You can't chain break hooks anymore. There are normally 300 hooks right next to each other so one broken hook won't matter.

Except it's worse for the killer. I legit had a match earlier where it got to the point I could no longer hook anyone because every other survivor bum rushed the hooks nearby and broke them before I could ever reach them.

Slug. It isn't hard. Most people who get counted by saboing aren't that good anyways.

I DON'T LIKE SLUGGING!

Only time I ever do it (an d even then it's rare for me to do it) is when I play Michael to make the most out of a Tier 3 play.

Well that is your problem. Almost no one sabos in the first place. Like I said, if you keep picking them up with the knowledge that they are going to sabo hooks, you are just being stupid.

Doesn't unbreakable AND no mither counter slugging? Guess survivors forgot they have insane hard counters to killer strategies

Exactly why I don't see tunneling as a good thing in addition to the fact it makes the game super unfun for survivors.

Are you actually going to complain about no mither?

[heiisbeiis]

Unbreakable is annoying, but NO MITHER ALSO SUCKS

iron grasp + agitation...

Why nerf sabo when unbreakable is the problem?

It's so sad. I cant make exit gates safe zones by dropping all the hooks near them anymore. I agree the change should be reverted.
