Full Self-Recovery, Stop Slugging!


Full Self-Recovery, Stop Slugging!
The Issue
As a survivor main slugging has started to become a huge issue when trying to enjoy the game. "Slugging" is a term referring to when a killer downs all 4 survivors which then disables being able to help each other recover fully. Killers sometimes use "slugging" as a way for an easy win. Every person who has played survivor most likely has experienced being slugged at least once, it is so frustrating and annoying to have to endure. Dead by Daylight's new feature results in you needing to bring an offering (Vigo's jar of salty lips) to wiggle off of a hook, it shouldn't be anybody's responsibility to bring one and if you don't then most likely no-one will. Being slugged with the inability to wiggle off of hook guarantees a win for the killer, unfun games, unfair situations. It happens way more than you may think, about 28% percent of games are lost due to a result of slugging right now and that number is getting bigger. A couple of perks such as "unbreakable" “boon: exponential” and "No Mither" can help you recover from the dying state. But, unbreakable only has one use for the entire trial and No Mither creates a disadvantage for the survivor who uses it as it makes you injured for the whole game. Boon exponential is only helpful if a totem is near by and most likely survivors won’t be within range while being slugged. The reason for this petition is because it is very much an issue, Dead by Daylight needs to take action now and makes their game fun to play rather than creating a survivors nightmare. Slugging shouldn’t be a way that killers win unless you’re running a perfect counter build. With the ability to fully recover from the dying state, killers will be more quick to pick up rather than just leaving you slugged, which lets survivors not need to focus on anti-slug builds and enjoy the game.
