Windows of opportunity

[SupMellow?]

I mean... That perk is kind of like a soft cheat? What's the idea behind this perk, and why does anyone think it's in any way balanced? lol

In my mind, it's giving the map awareness of a very experienced player to everyone.

So basically, if you come at me with this point of view, you're pretty much saying it's okay to wall hack in counter strike GO, because the best player in the world has the game sense to sometimes look like he's wallhacking. :)

The game is survivor sided because its 4 v 1
Anything survivor based takes years to fix, but killer? that's patched immediately.

Bubba and Bamboozle. Shred every pallet on the map and close off any window loop thats giving you a problem. Cruel Limits to further block windows if you want but bamboozle is usually enough for me.

The perk is super annoying, but every lobby theres 4 people always running it so you should get lots of value out of those perks.

Yes, at what price, though? You're losing many other advantages, like Deliverance, Unbreakable, Adrenaline...

I think its range is too big

Pretty easy to tell when a survivor is running it. I agree it kind of makes good players out of bad players in a way, but I think it's easily countered by just... not chasing that person. If I can't hit a survivor after 30 seconds, I move on.

But players not running it are less common than those who run it. That's the struggle for me. I've been doing as you said, but I'm getting destroyed. But it isn't helping that I'm playing legion most of the time. (Without the good addon :( )

WoO lets a solo player know if an area is a deadzone before they get to it. SWF can call out when they've exhausted an area's pallets, but a Solo player would be in the dark.

Perhaps it could highlight the debris instead. That would have a rather similar effect for this particular situation.

But I get what you're saying, that's smart.

It's unbalanced as hell and for sure feels like cheating when using it. Can't really remember the last game i didn't use that perk when playing survivor lol

Don't get me wrong, I know where you're coming from with the "How do they know where to run to specifically screw with me" moments as well.

If aura reading (not just this one) is an issue for you, might I point you over towards blindness effects? While it's a Hex Perk (boo), Hex: Third Seal might be up your alley

"How care survivors use the map to their advantage and why should I use blind addons when I really want to use something more toxic? Let me be toxic in peace"
That's you. Experienced players use it in soloq aswell because the map is, gasp, randomized! You also have Zenshin tactics so if you want the same thing go ahead. Or use I'm all ears to literally get wallhacks.

How embarrassing for the killer population in general to have one of their own kind crying about windows of opportunity being basically cheating all the while they're all loading in with no where to hide and ultimate weapon plus their 2 favorite gen perks. I swear you all were the type that got trophies given to you even when you lost middle school soccer games. then after the game you went home and put in cheat codes for your video games to give you god mode.

poor killers you guys have it so rough how do you make it through the day with survivors having not only perks available but also two legs to run from you with. That's basically cheating bhvr should give survivors just one legs and make them drag themselves along the ground with their hands. But then you would complain they are too low to the ground and you can't see them all the while you're running around with Chucky in stealth mode.

im kind of on the fence. I use it because i cant memorize all the loop areas even those i walked around them for many years as killer. Though it wouldnt hurt me a lot if it was removed or reworked into something different. Always adapt
