Flashlight must nerf, when pick up a person

[WethDeath]

I agree to have flashlight, but when the hit recover when picking person, since killer can not move, it makes flashlight too overpower
Yes, we can face somewhere cant be flashed, but most of the time not,
when it face 2 or 3 flashlight, (yet, I just face 3 flashlight game, I can only kill 1 noob since I am using a 1 skill killer)
Under this situation, it became a bug-like issue, it seems to be 100% to save person from killer.
Before finish the picking animation, the person is already saved.
is this fair?

I don't know, when someone tries to blind me I just look up immediatly after the animation ends. And if someone is blinding me while breaking a pallet I follow the sound of footsteps blindly. That is all.

but what I met is " before the anime, the person I grab is already escape"
so if you saying that those person using cheat and shorten the time to blind me?

The guy you picked up probably had Decisive Strike (and used it before you were actually blinded).
Also, about people keeping flashing you, you can just look at the sky, you can't get blinded with the camera up : just look from time to time up (or on the side) when chasing someone to avoid being blinded.

One last note : flashlight used to be overpowered because the animation to pick up a survivor took something like 5 secondes back in the time). Now it's actually hard to blind the killer while picking up anymore, also you can feint the pick up to make them come to you.

Good joke. I personally like when people bring flashlights, becouse most of the time they spend less time grinding gens so flashlights actually help you

tbh the only times I now started to bring flashlight is "in case it's the scary hag". I never really end up using it (apart from the archive challenges I did)

Flashlight rescues have very strict timing iirc. Look up asap and there a small period of time to hit it, and of it's still bad, Lightborn pretty much shuts it down.

Are you serious? Flashlighting became super hard.. i almost never get flashlighted when picking up a survivor and if so it is usually my fault because i did not think about it.

Just time when you down a survivor for the pickup ...

If anything flashlighting needs a buff because debris between the survivor and killer messes up the beam.

The thing is...

but the flashlight stun count down is start from the picking animation,
so when it finish the animeation , it instant save the person

That is true but if they start too early it doesn't count or if you have trouble with flashlights a lot just bring Franklin's or lightborn

Basically I can counter flashlight easily,
I dont know how it works (I only play killers), But before that match, I have only around 5% of my total gameplay was blind by flashlight
But at that match I have picked up over 10 times but only 3 time is fine and killed a person
when the second hook, I just stand around the hooked suv but I was blind over 1 minute even I immediately turn back and face to a wall ( the hook is beside a house)

PS. The main point is that, I just want the flashlight count down (from start to stun killer) is count from the animation of pick up people is totally ended,
which means when it start to "count" flashlight, killer can immedately turn top or back

except the suv is down next to hook, surv have much time to try to stun killer, with risk
but in now situation, due to the hit recovery (pick recovery as well), it increase at least 50~70% chance of stun.

in fact in that match, I have turn up immediately (from picking animation start, crazy turning up), I still stunned for all time, the only 3 time of sucess hook is becaz I pick up when facing wall

that match I am using a 1 perk killer for finish a mission, PS. I have played around 3 months, even as I watch DBD video more than 2 years...
I know how to counter those surv but my killer perks are not enough

Do you realize that if you have one on the ground and two trying to blind you that you have three players off gens? Smack them away or chase them far enough off that they'll miss the blind. If you spam the drop key during the pickup you'll still drop the downed survivor even if you're blind.

I prefer my victims bringing flashlights instead of toolboxes, medkits or keys.
If you are smart, they NEVER have a chance to use it, they'll just waste time trying.
You need to be a really really bad killer if you get hit by flashlights while picking up.

Your post says something different

[Verzauberter Kochlöffel]

the hook and grap speed of a survivor got already faster and flashlightsaves are harder so it got already nerfed so stop cry abaut one thing that happened

I am arguing the game mechanism, not good or bad killer
on the background of this game, killer is a hunter, surv just a animal which going to be catch,
it should have no tools that can easily counter a killer, your know?
(you may increase to fix gen by even 10 times speed, but not to easy stun killer)
this is a logical issue...
the now mechanism makes surv can 100% stun killer and save teammate "at right condition"
yes, it can use fake pick, but this movement is invent by this wrong mechanism
it is not a solve.

In fact, my opinion is that, when killer pick up surv,
flashlight should only be use (for saving a person pick by killer)
when killer is going to a hook, there is a long distance but not enough for surv to shake himself down, however, if another surv hide in front of killer, he can easily stun killer as killer not aware

I like it when survivors bring flashlights because it makes them more predictable. Take frankins and have them running back for their flashlight which will waste more of their time. Go Hag with franklins and trap their dropped flightlight for added fun.

Flashlights are NOT Over Powered like they use to be. Flashlight saves use to be EZ. now they are NOT. Right now, flashlights are really only good for pallet+flashlight combos. When the killer starts to perform the break action. Blind and run away. Continually.

Equip lightborn and it has no effect. You can see in the lobby if they have a flashlight or 2.
