Video Summary
Movement is buggy: players get stuck, hug walls, stutter-step, and lose stamina unpredictably.
Most abilities have vague or incomplete descriptions, causing confusion about effects and durations.
Security guard's taser doesn't work on the Mimic; it's unclear if that's a bug or intended.
Doors can be chained to indefinitely stall killers, creating major balance exploits.
Medic's healing is excessive (e.g., large periodic self-heals) and needs nerfs to cooldowns/heal amounts.
Players frequently get stuck on objects, can end up 'hugging' walls and immobile, experience stutter-step and strange zigzag motion when holding multiple keys, and the system drains stamina unpredictably — all indicating broken animations or movement code.
Without clear durations, ranges, and numeric effects (e.g., how long a heal or speed buff lasts), players can't make informed strategic choices and devs can't reliably tune power — leading to perceived OP abilities and confusion.
Players can time door interactions so the killer triggers end-lag when kicking a door, then chain to other doors (or reuse doors) to stall chases indefinitely, negating intended temporary stalling and breaking chase balance.
Medic abilities allow large heals (examples: ~30 HP per minute or 35 HP team heals) with unclear durations and cooldowns, enabling excessive sustain that undermines killer win conditions and match pacing.
The kill timer reduction only deducts about 20 seconds per survivor kill (after a change from +10 sec to -20 sec), which the video argues is too small — meaning killers need quicker multi-kills or matches swing unfairly; a suggested minimum is 30 seconds per kill.
"Sprinting in this game is just broken. I can't even fully explain it. It's that bad."
The movement mechanics in the game are severely flawed, leading to frustrating experiences for players. Players frequently get stuck on objects, and there are glitches that can cause characters to hug walls and become immobile.
Users also encounter "stutter step" issues and have difficulty maintaining stamina, forcing them to only press one movement key at a time. These problems are so glaring that they should have been noticed and fixed during testing phases.
"Nearly all the abilities have extremely vague descriptions."
The game's abilities often lack clear descriptions, leading to confusion among players about their functions. For example, abilities that enhance speed or healing do not clearly specify their durations or effects.
This vagueness can hinder player strategies and decisions, as they are left unsure about what each ability precisely does or how effective it will be in various situations.
"Doors in this game need to be heavily reworked."
The door mechanics in the game create a situation where players can exploit them to stall killers indefinitely. This undermines the intended balance of chase mechanics, as players can chain door openings to evade the killer easily.
Additionally, the ability of some characters, like the security guard, to use their tasers against killers does not function as intended against specific foes, leading to inconsistencies in combat mechanics.
"The medic class is broken OP."
The medic class has abilities that allow players to heal excessively, with one ability healing 30 HP every minute, which can significantly impact game balance. This self-healing allows medics to sustain themselves too easily throughout matches.
Proposed nerfs include reducing the amount of self-heal and adjusting ability cooldowns to create a more balanced gameplay experience for all classes.
"Survivors can loop everything. Nerf all the loops, nerf doors, everything related to maps needs to be heavily nerfed."
The gameplay experience is heavily affected by the excessive looping mechanics that survivors can exploit. The speaker calls for immediate adjustments to nerf these loops and door mechanics across all maps, which are perceived as imbalances in the game.
There exists a critical issue with the timer mechanics: "The timer only goes down 20 seconds per survivor kill." This means that if a player manages to achieve four kills, they are likely to lose the game unless the remaining survivors are killed swiftly enough.
A change in the kill timer from an extra 10 seconds to a 20-second deduction per kill appears to be detrimental. The speaker argues, "30 seconds per kill at minimum should be it," indicating that the current balancing is inadequate for ensuring fair gameplay dynamics.
"These games are so easy to complain about because their maps all suck. Their balance is horrible."
The speaker expresses disappointment regarding the game's map design and overall balance, stating that despite its aesthetic appeal, the gameplay fails to meet expectations.
They admit to frequently voicing their concerns, suggesting a pattern of dissatisfaction with the developments of new content: "Yes, this doesn’t look good on my part because every single aspect that comes out, I just make a video and complain."
The video points out that even when a game is fun, it doesn't necessarily equate to being a well-designed or balanced game, emphasizing the distinction between enjoyment and quality in the gaming experience.
