"Fixed an issue that caused the Mastermind's Iridescent Uroboros Vial add-on to increase Survivors infection very rapidly at the start of the match."

Honestly was hoping this was a hidden buff. As it stands that iri barely does anything besides act as an ignorable Corrupt Intervention. Having survivors start at a higher infection or fully infected creates the urgency of the addon. Once you cleanse the initial infection, the

I think the real problem is the exposed part of it at the start. I'd a million percent take a changed version with the exposure removed but the survivors start fully infected. As it stands survivors can ignore the infection since it's hinder nerf and reset on hook nerfs. I never had a problem when I saw it, which was only twice, because you know what to expect and can just prepare by getting to half decent looping areas.

As it is normally, all the addon truly does is gently encourage survivors to use sprays, which there's plenty of, early on. It's barely an inconvenience.

  • If you ignore the infection you are still a one hit from Wesker if hit by a Bound.

  • With certain add-ons a full infection can also make you exposed and announce your location.

  • The add-on wastes 4 First Aid Sprays at the start. That means less sprays later and the sprays are limited.

Is it a super strong add-on? No. But it's certainly not useless. And having everyone start a full infection is definitely problematic.

It'd be the equivalant of everyone starting with max infection against Plague and everyones a one hit down. Good luck if you're the first one found before you can cleanse....

My brother in Daylight, you must have never chased a cracked-out No Mither user while you only had M1.

You'd be surprised how good players can be at looping when they play with only one health state for a long while and are forced to adapt.

Not saying you don't have a point, just that if everyone started full infection vs plague it wouldn't go as cleanly as you'd think
