@@GustavoGek If they buff all perks to be equally as insane as Pop Goes the Weasel, (and even pain res), what would stop anyone from just using those two perks and 2 more insanely over-buffed gen regress perks at once? Any remotely competent killer with 4 slowdowns is going to have a good time stalling and regressing gens and guaranteeing a free, skill-less 3K every game against your average solo, duo, and maybe even 4-man swf.
Pretty sure when I stopped playing around Onryo release Pop was 25%, I come back and it's 30%, and now it's getting nerfed to 20%. I bet in a patch or two they will decide it was nerfed to much and buff it up to 25%.
I hear ya. I finally reached my breaking point. If people feel cheated, which they should playing a game that's basically still early access after 8 years, they can quit now and take some small consolation in knowing BHVR just invested a lot of money in the engine upgrade.
@@voidburger2989 No one is complaining about the frequency of the changes. The changes themselves are what is drawing criticism; that BHVR has put over 200 perks in this game, but only seems to ever make changes to the cluster of them that just go back and forth between being garbage and being meta. Well...on the killer side, anyway. Survivors are the only ones allowed to have perks with 35% usage rate.
This 'Meta Shakeup' isn't going to last very long if BHVR only ever changes the most used/problematic perks instead the whole roster of never used perks

@@MrRubixscube theres plenty of mind games. fake the scamper, survivor vaults over, get the down. fake the scamper, survivor doesnt fall for it, survivor wins and gets away.
I like the idea of making some of the meta regression perks not so meta anymore but I don’t like that they didn’t buff any other regression perks at all. They were meta for a reason and that was because the other ones are garbage. A small buff to some of them would’ve been nice.
They didn't bother to buff or change any of the perks no one uses. Like no trade off on any of perks like they did for survivor. Just straight nerfs. Fuck it add versus AI in MM cuz no one is gonna wanna play killer at this rate. Cuz only the best 3 will be able to get anything done and aren't bothered by the perk changes. The weaker ones will just never be touched because of the extreme uphill battle they have now that their crutches been kicked out from under them because they were already too weak to stand up lol
I feel like behavior just looks at usage and not why they are used. Pain res and pop are used because slow down is needed. Slowdown is needed because gens can take anywhere from 90s to 45s to complete. Bad killers don't stand a chance without them.
@@Keygentlemen the alternative is putting on a full slug build and never hook. I started doing this like 3 weeks ago and I win way more consistently, especially on lower tier killers. No more dealing with DS, Dead Hard, Deli, basekit BT, Background Player.

I swear with pop they realised 20% was too weak, so they then buffed it to 30% of overall gen progress, and now reverted it back to 20% a year later? Why not just 25 lol
@@mattp994Introduced limited gen kicks and wonders why perks with biggest single effects are picked more than those with many small effects. Wonder why Pop is used more than Eruption huh?
I think the only thing that needs a shake up is the balance team. Either they need more help and resources or its time for them to go off to greener pastures or other positions because balancing the same group of perks constantly and ignoring the completely worhless ones once a year ain't cutting it. Also the map design team needs some fucking help because whoever did RPD needs Jesus
i have more of a problem with a 20 second background player than one with 200% speed. Run vigil with that and you get a chance on every single down, even when the guy being chased is the most free kill in existance.
It's still less effective than doing a gen normally lol. I don't think people understand the math behind the invocation... 10% on 7 gens, and 2 of which are overkill and not needed. So it's 50% gen progress spread across 5 gens after 60 seconds. You're still better off (and safer) doing a normal generator.
Avoiding chucky when he’s is scampering from a slice and dice is so easy to dodge as survivor, they should buff his turn rate after otherwise his main power would be useless.
@@uggZymoroon yea like literally, because u can’t turn 90° after, the counter play is just hugging the wall after vaulting the pallet. The only way to make use of this is against a braindead player
@@skarhn6215 Honestly, yea... The only times I have EVER gotten a hit with a Scamper DURING a Slice and Dice is when the Survivor is clueless and just runs in a straight line directly away from the pallet/window. Slice and Dice will remain a very powerful chase power (and will potentially be even more oppressive with the reduced cooldown), but they may as well just remove the Scamper ability at this point.
@@boringmonkey6958 I like that he has it, it's some nice flavor that most killers don't have... but you're right. Scamper has screwed me over far more than it has ever helped me because I'm consistently auto locking onto the pallet instead of the survivor running near the pallet when I do Slice and Dice.
Welp, looks like this is another "Hour of the Witch" moment, as in "I'm gonna take a year-long break from the game". See you all for the 9th anniversary.
Scott, I wouldn’t surprised if the sabo speeds on toolboxes refers to the stupid debuffs some toolboxes like Engineer’s had to saboing hooks. Pretty sure for at least one of them it’s a 75% reduction to saboing for seemingly no reason now; even if there was a justification prior to the big toolbox rework in 2019/2020 (I don’t exactly recall when it was)
I am dying for a discussion as to why nerfing the most used perks, which is consequently gen regression perks for my TED talk, is the correct answer drom BHVR’s point of view…if gen regression perks are being used so much, arguably some of the most boring perks only used so the game doesn’t end instantly from gen rushing, then maybe address gen speeds or toolbox speeds rather than changing the symptoms of gen speed?? it feels so odd that they see increased gen regression perks across the board and they think “oh its prevalent and widely used so a nerf is in order” what problem does that solve? the perks are used for a reason but they didn’t even address the reason these perks are used! instead they buffed sabo speed like alex’s doesn’t give a guaranteed trade anyways…like i can understand why they would remove endurance from buckle up, you get it from off hook, styptic agent, off the record, etc…but gen regression options are these popular perks and kicking the gen, which base kicking has gotten a significant buff dedinitely but its not a comparison in terms of perk strength. would love to hear from anyone else on whether im crazy or missing something or some other point of view because this way of changing things based off of popular use does not make any sense to me…
This is a valid point. And kind the point that every collected and informed dbd player makes regarding gen speeds. I hope the toolbox changes are followed by some repair speed nerf, or overall gen speed. However, if they changed the gen speed I still think toolboxes at 50% bonus repair speed might be really strong. But if BHVR just tried it and got feedback I'm sure we'd be making progress with the pacing of the game that seems to be the biggest collective issue. Also, as much as I'd love an operation health for this game, it would only be worthwhile if BHVR can actually use that time efficiently, if they can understand what players actually want for QoL things, and of course if they can listen/respond to that feedback. Also, I can't say if you're crazy or not. But I'm crazy myself, and we both play DBD, so I'll just say I'm crazy with you bro
@@logantrujillo4719 maybe toolboxes could still be crazy if gen speed was nerfed, just as you said we’d have to play it in a PTB to see. They just keep nerfing things that seem negligible to most people that aren’t playing consistently or against semi competent swfs, but at the higher levels it is apparent how important a couple seconds from pain res can be.
@@mr.sleepy1518 Exactly! And while those different demographics of skill propose a separate challenge for balancing, if they change the foundation for that gameplay to begin with then it would be progress and we'd see what can stay strong. It isn't that BHVR is just not trying, but I think they still don't see their game in the same regard as their players. This is understandable, but they don't even seem to understand what is fun about dbd sometimes. I think just more communication with the community (which they have been way better at recently) will push healthier changes and give them more of an open mind to making changes that the game needs.
The normal toolbox have a sabo speed from 3s old Killer hit recovering (now 2.7s) They buff Sabo perk back than from 2.5s to 2.2s to take a hit and still sabo the hook because Killer recover faster but they let toolbox unchange which mean it get indirect nerf, now they adjust that. (When they give the 10% indirect nerf back)
the problem with Scampering during slice and dice is that survivors basically always have time to position themselves at an angle where its impossible to hit them because of the limiting turn rate.
that assumes they just sit right next to the pallet. chucky can also just kick it knowing the survivor is sticking around to cut the angle off and then just slice and dice the shorter distance they made up
every chucky after this patch: Addons: -Hard Hat-breaks pallets after scamper -Running shoes-increases movement speed after scamper 2% Perks: -Enduring-Hubris-slowdown/info-slowdown/info
I mean I can do this right now and it is also way too doable in the current state. Also I've tried this combo out before and it barely gave me any value. On paper it sounds like a crazy combo that would break the game but its actually quite the opposite.
not really, since you can only scamper after slice and dice, and after scamping you would get that flick nerf where you barely can do a 90... so if you do that you will problably miss your slice and dice, enter fatigue and give enough time to the survivor to chain his next loop, even if you break the pallet its still not game changing, legion has that addon too and he still get bullied back to back
@@user-fv4nt5nh3e oh No, after getting stunned, you have to Go into hidy ho mode, do the Charge right at the pallet, scamper (which Breaks the pallet) and you still have way enough time to get the instadown
i think pop definitely needed to be brought in line with other perks even if it was a healthy perk, rewarding hooks. i think it would be interesting if regression perks had a mechanic like exhaustion so you can't stack a bunch of them, or give weaker ones an upside where they have a lesser cooldown to incentivize more mild regression perks. imagine if pain res gave you a status called maybe "expended" or something that prevents you from triggering another regression perk for 45 seconds, but if surge goes off it expends you for maybe 15 seconds? haven't thought it through very much but would be a cool idea
I completely agree with Scott, before going for perks like Pop the devs should first look at how they could find that perfect sweet spot where it's not a scenario where they change something that's only miserable on the strongest killers because from those nerfs the weakest killers suffer the most because most weaker killers rely on those strong perks to be able to catch up with everything.
its also worth mentioning that the scamper cooldown begins upon starting a slice and dice anyway, assuming we can still scamper cancel windows and chain 1 billion slice and dices then the new cooldown will be basically non-existent - this is actually a pretty insane buff to his map control potentially
you can only do that on lerys map and even if you do that, chuckys scream so loud that you will never get any value.. survivor will always see you coming
14:00 no more buckle up here comes we're gonna live for forever, mettel of man, for the people and made for this which is far more fair than free invincibility
I feel like BHVR's on the right track, there are two steps they need to do: 1) Nerf perks and addons on both sides 2) Buff basekit on both sides They've got the first step down, now they just need to learn there's a second step lmao
You are forgetting one thing. The #1 most important thing when it comes to balancing this game is fixing the insane power differences between killers. You will never be able to balance anything if you have killers as strong as nurse and killers as weak as freddy in the same game. Its that simple. Nerf any perk and nurse wont care but freddy will suffer immensely. Buff any perk and maybe you will see a few more freddys in your games but the same changes will make nurse too OP. If they want to fix the problem they have to start at the root of the problem.
You know, I just thought about maybe having perk values. Kinda like VHS I think had. Where you can take really strong perks as a strong killer, but then you can’t take four of them. Maybe trapper has 16 points, while blight and nurse has 10. Most slow down perks could be 4 while less effective ones could be 3, or maybe you could use a lower tier of the perk to decrease its cost. That would probably be hard to implement, and in general I don’t know if players liked it in VHS.
it takes like 5-10 minutes to find a match for killer here in South America, and it takes like 15-30 seconds when I play survivor the survivor playerbase is dying maybe that's why they're finally nerfing killers, and they only nerfed antigen perks, there are at least 15 killers that needs to get nerfed in this game.
@@katnumb1692Imagine when you discovered that BHV actually does this to force you to play surv hahaha Their algorithm will push you to play more that way, one way to find faster killer games is to start playing killer
Gen-regression-from-hooks is nerfed while Sabo/Background is buffed. This incentivizes slugging. To balance Sabo buffs, I would have left Pain Res and Grimbrace alone, put Pop at 20% current, buff Ruin to 150%. You’re still rewarded for attempting to hook despite new Sabo difficulties.
Buckle up will not be used anymore. They just needed to add a line in the perk description that makes it not useable with FTP, and then hopefully have the ability to code that nuance into the game.
I wish they would make more perk mechanics into base mechanics, kind of like what they did with borrowed time for survivors. Maybe some generic Boon ability survivors could do if they don't have any boon perks equipped/hex ability killers could start with if they dont have any hex perks equipped, and the other boon/hex perks augment this base mechanic with their unique effects. I mostly just want more interactive gameplay options without necessitating using specific perks for it.
Bubba with chili and engravings will be extremely strong in a 1v1 now. It will guarantee that they'll have to drop almost every pallet early or risk going for a stun. Bubba enthusiasts rise up!
Yea I'm a bit concerned about the amount of buffs here. Survivors will now have to drop every pallet and hope they get the stun as reduced bumping collision means bubba can hug loops tighter and bump less often (which is sometimes the only option a survivor has), basekit sweep speed without charge delay, sweep duration, and tantrum reduction with insta pallet break and insta down kinda leaves no options for survivors. There won't be any pallets left after the first chase lmao. Bam bam bubba is going to feast.
@@aroace7913 I think he meant "We're going to live forever", but i could be wrong. i'm not sure if the two perks work together. also, you'd have to get the perk activated by being altruistic.
I feel like if instead of nerfing pop they could go for making other slowdown perks be able to replace it more consistantly while also making them not compatible with with the 2 main slowdown perks
@@yuikoo0613well vaulting and scampering during slice and dice merely lets the survivor youre chasing get away. This is because the turn rate after scampering or vaulting during slice and dice is so low that if the survivor takes right or left after vaulting, it becomes impossible for chucky to hit that survivor.
I've used Invocation: Weaving Spiders exactly once. I ran to the basement at the start of the match, started the invocation right away, decided to commit to it, and in the last 30 seconds the killer hooked somebody and then downed both of the other players, and I came out of the basement broken where she was waiting for me and I went down about 30 seconds after I finished the invocation. So yeah, I didn't use it again. Good buff tho
These are nice changes, but shame we can't have some buffs to lower perks to make variety even more of a thing. I remember an earlier road map had scheduled changes to Distressing and This Is Not Happening. What happened to those? What about some of the other lower perks? It'll be great to see them get some love or even full remakes!
my crackpot pop goes the weasel nerf idea: it starts at 30%, but the damage decays based off of the hooked survivors wiggle progress when they are hooked. so for example, if you die directly under a hook and get hooked immediately, the killers next kick will do 30% damage to the gen, but if your wiggle progress is almost full when you are hooked, maybe the gen damage will be closer to something like 10%. gives some minor counterplay for the survivors against pop and makes it slightly more interactive, giving rise to scenarios where a killer running pain res pop picks up a survivor and sees a hook close by and a pain res hook much further, and they’ve gotta decide what they wanna go for. idk i think it sounds neat lol
Im curious how many matches are going to be slug cuty with the sabo buff. Theres already a lot of sabo squads wirh boil over and thst offering to seperate hooks.
Quick question if anyone knows. Does the new ultimate weapon perk only make survivors scream within 32 meters of the locker you opened, or any locker? If just the one locker you opened then it just feels like a worse darkness revealed
I think the Buckle Up change is far more preferable to a simple change that made FTP + Buckle Up not work. This combination of perks was bad, but I think right now FTP + Buckle Up can be used as a good way to help your teammates that are being tunneled. They sprint away while you are very vulnerable to being hit. On top of that, it removes one of the 3 "endurance when picking up" perks. The more perks that do smth different the better imo.
Nerfing the only 2 regression perks left. Meanwhile the regression perks that got nerfed due to 3 gen meta (something that can't physically exist anymore) still have yet to be reverted. Just actually moronic. Also 10:55 , that's not how pop works. If a gen is at 80% it isn't going to go down to 50%. The perk goes based off CURRENT progress on the gen. It's why pop is literally only useful on gens that are almost done because 30% of barely anything... would regress barely anything.
@@muysli.y1855 it doesn't even need to move from 30%. Pop is straight up only useful if a gen is near completion. If it's not, than it's getting less and less value the lower the survivor progression is on it. I don't see a problem with that. Plus you have to get a chase, get a hook, and then even find what gen is best suited to use pop on. Pop was fine, pain res was fine. Both perks are already heavily nerfed versions of what they used to be. They only get used cause everything else sucks ass.
He still is right though the gen at 80% progress done would go down to ~50% from a pop kick thanks to the base kick regression stacking on top of pop. If you care about the equation this is it (72 x 0.7) - (90 x 0.05) = 45.9 charges left after the gen gets popped.
do you think each killer should have an amount of “tokens” based on their strength and perks should be weighted so slowdowns require more tokens then chase or aura perks to counteract the gap between top tier killers and the bottom tier. it would mean a blight or nurse cannot run more than 2 slowdowns but trappers and freddys still can run 3 or 4. also vice versa for survivors. different weight on perks depending on which type of perk it is
Very sad about the buckle up change, I'm almost exclusively solo que and the FTP-BU combo was a lot of fun to use, because it was great resource against tunneling and slugging, and it was fun to get it off successfully. Now I guess I'll need to find a new fun solo que build :(
Used to make absolute worthless teamates that would get less than 10.000 points each game have a chance, unfortunately it's killers/4 man swf balancing only
You will have to face judgement one day for running bu+ftp, it is so blatantly overpowered last time I ran it because of the tome challenge I used it just once in the match on the last survivor to 4 man out and had to literally apologize to the killer in post game chat cause I felt bad
@LayZKimochi420BlazeIt If you feel bad for running it that's totally understandable, but I often find that the combo has the most value in close game situations and against obnoxious killers. An example from a recent game is against a huntress on Hawkins, granted, the huntress had a bad map and wasn't doing well, but in the endgame, she slugged a survivor and just stood over them as they crawled, the only way they got out is because I was able to sneak in and ftp bu and keep the huntress from bleeding them out
Honestly I think Pop should decrease in power in relation to how many survivors are remaining. All 4 survivors = 30%, 3 survivors = 20%, 2 survivors = 10%, and it deactivates when one survivor remains. Overall though I think this patch is excellent and I’m a big fan of a lot of the changes.
I may be crazy but I think pop should low-key be basekit. MIND U, I’m not talking about this version of pop because that would be insane but I think killers should have some basekit gen regression (aside from simply kicking gens) and I feel that balancing gen regression as a whole would become a lot easier
I am honestly hyped for chucky and bubba.. bubba was on suicide watch after his add on need, billys buffs, and the face camp mechanic. This will be pretty nice not NEEDing chili
I am soo unbelievably stoked about the borgo change. very nice of them to continue to consider the concerns of colorblind players without just falling back on the current colorblind mode. very very nice.
For chucky they should make scamper just last longer when ypu do it so survivor has more time to run away or make when scamper as chucky you lose your power
I think one of the biggest issues with Pop and Pain Res are just how frequently they are run. Just about every match, killers are running one or both of those perks. Slow-down being part of the balance of the game is understandable, but the usage for those two perks is just off the charts. There is a debate to be had about whether they should have done this or buffed the other regression perks, but I think its difficult either way. If you buff the weaker regression perks, then you just end up with killers running even more of them and if you just nerf the stronger ones then you end up with the weaker killers suffering disproportionately. Feels like there are more foundational changes that need to happen.
If they are running them every game there is a huge reason they are needed if killers don't run they get gens all popped in less then 5 to 3 minutes my shortest match at 1 minute 30 currently. If you don't run one or the other or a slow down killer cannot win in a high mmr game without the hated Strat of tunneling, slugging ro proxying. This will make it more prevalent.
@@dracophoenixttv I wasn’t arguing against running slowdown/gen regression perks. I was talking specifically about these two perks that have a pick rate of over 25%. Surge is the next highest gen regression perk by usage and it’s got a pick rate of only 11%. So, what I was saying was that if killers are so clearly favoring these two perks over all the other gen regression perks they needed to balance them to make the others more of an option
I'm happy with it too, I honestly just wanted them to make it something like getting it after two hooks. It just felt too strong even when chases weren't that short. Especially for killers that cross map instantly.
I kinda wish gens had a minimum progress threshold that went up with the regression block mechanic (maybe even remove the block mechanic in favor of this idea). Like for every regression event the gen can't go down past an escalating 2/4/6/8% etc. That would reduce the horrible double/triple punishment that happens in solo queue when someone keeps going down and your gen keeps getting hit by perks because no one else is doing any gens. Like you'll probably still lose if the team is going down so easily but at least a gen or two can be done.
Probable to solve the misserable situation of ten pops in the same gen would be making it so the first time you kick a gen: loses 30%, second time 20%, third or more 10% extra gen progress.
@@theintelligentmilkjug944 I think it's healthy because first of all 12 seconds really isn't that long. It provides a nice little boost for the killer to actually find someone without every survivor gen popping. It's almost like bbq and chili in the sense that it gives you a period of time to find a survivor after you hook someone. It gives you a small edge and gives you a bit more control of the match instead of just getting obliterated by gen rushing survivors
I feel like it would be fun to have a system where perks are worth points, and killers have a select amount of points to spend on perks for a build. like pop is worth 3 points and a killer only has 10 points to use to equip perks
The nerf to slowdown perks is absolutely ridiculous. This game is balanced around slowdown, and gens already pop so quickly. It's so demoralizing to see
I went on a 30 win streak with the Hillbily without any addons and only using Lethal and Barbecue with 0 slowdown perks I did this experiment to see how broken Hillbily is and how disgustingly unbalanced this game is. Nurse still is the most broken killer in the game for over 6 years now, the best they did to her was nerfing her addons lol
I was doing mantel of man were going to live forever and for the people before they added the buckle up change and when i saw the patch notes for it i was like umm this is bad and op
How? Almost every killer brings the same 2 slowdowns, so this will hopefully open up more perk options, and buckle up was the most problematic survivor perk and it's getting addressed. I'm confused with why it's bad?
@@shadysorkin9214 Let me break it down for you. For one, gen rushing is already a problem in of itself with weaving spider buff alongside prove thyself, deja vu, or any other gen repair boost speed, gens will get done as fast as hell. With more and more gen regressing perks getting nerfed while all the gen repair speed boosts are side eyed it calls for even more gen rushing. Secondly, Buckle up never needed the nerf as it was hardly seen to cause trouble, and Background player were never really an issue. Decisive strike, while annoying as it was basically a one time use and the call for a nerf even after its buff was just fucking stupid. 5 seconds is long but its justified by a one time use. BHVR needs to stop punishing players for using common perks or coming up with creative builds just because they help them. I play both killer and survivor almost equally and understand why each nerf to these perks is absolutely unjustifiable.
@@shadysorkin9214 most classic survivor brain comment: omg every killer brings the same 2 perks, that must be because they are so annoying and mean and want to ruin my fun in particular! it couldnt be a balance issue, let alone a survivor sided issue! meanie killers got nerfed finally some more perk diversity, why didnt killers do that to begin with! :-(
@@SlyAtex 1 - Gen rushing will forever be an issue. You can't balance the game for both the new/casual players and the old/sweaty players as well as SWF vs Solo. That is the nature of an asymmetrical game. 2 - Weaving spider will still be a terrible perk. Assuming you don't get interrupted, its theoretically a maximum potential of 50% on generators. You can do more than that progress on a generator yourself in 60 seconds without being exposed the entire game. 3 - Buckle up absolutely needed a nerf. Just because you didn't see it that often doesn't mean it's healthy to exist in the game. 4 - Background was and is still a pretty unfair perk in coordinated groups for the killer. It can put you often in lose-lose scenarios. The change just requires you to have to be slightly closer to get saves, making the killer have more options to commit to chasing you. 5 - DS I agree was fine the way it was. That's about all I agree with though.
@@asmith8190 I play 50:50. Honestly complaining about perk shakeups make you the baby not me. They are almost always a good thing to keep the game fresh, even if its a change you don't like. Arguing about balance is pretty silly. The game has and never will be balanced.
I feel like they could remove “perk tiers” by making tier levels for each killers ( 1 star, 2 star, 3 star) and the tier one killers get the current level 3 perks, then level 2 get the current two and the top tier killers like nurse, blight etc. get the lowest current level of perk. Thoughts on this
I always had the idea of killers and survivors having 4 perk categories they can choose from instead of the mix and match system we have now. For example killers and survivors would have lethal, hook, information and generator. Lethal perks are perks that concern survivor health. Such as exposed perks for killer and healing or protection perks for survivor such as self care or mettle of man. Hook perks concern the hooks such as things that help the killer get a hook or help survivors escape a hook or prevent being hooked such as lightborn to block blind saves or decisive strike to prevent tunneling. Information perks are perks that provide information such as aura reading or killer instinct, stuff like that. And finally generator perks are perks related to generators such as regression for killers or progression for survivors. Both sides can only equip 1 perk from each category so it would eliminate the annoying quad slowdown builds for killers and the quad second chance builds for survivors. And because a lot of survivor and killer meta perks fall within the same category they would be forced to choose one instead of stacking them.
I've had my issues with Scott and his takes in the past but I'd be lying if I said that he couldn't surprise me. It's such a breath of fresh air seeing someone understand that this scamper nerf to Chucky, while clearly a necessary step in the right direction, could easily ruin him (and, if you ask me, *will*). Especially after seeing OhTofu unironically call it a "perfect change!" and watching r/DbD circle-jerk each other with bullshit about how "the only people who don't like this are whiny and entitled!" and downvote anything which suggests otherwise.
15:07 18 seconds total. 4.5s per Pain Res. Pain Res has went from 15%x12=180% or 162s to 25%x4=100% or 90s to 20%x4=80% or 72s. Now obviously you were never getting 12 usages out of Pain Res (at least 12 that mattered) but it is interesting to see how much this perk has been gutted.
I dont see this as a meta shakeup at all, they just nerfed the best perks but without really buffing anything else, so the meta will stay the same but just be a bit weaker, not to mention Pop and Pain Res are now almost worse than their release versions which is why they got buffed in the first place
