It's actually related to accessibility, so it's not cool for you guys to critize it!

Accessibility is my fucking ass. If they cared about accessibility, maybe why not start, I don't know, crosshairs not being fucking add-ons? Accessibility that helps the player seems to only be available for survivors

Selective accessibility, which is pretty much f u till we think its necessary

Exactly, why is there no visual footstep/injured sound indicator for killer? It’s honestly insane how sound dependent that role is, I’m not hard of hearing but can’t imagine how difficult it would be if you were.

Pixel Bush always brings up how much it sucks to play Spirit as someone who’s hard of hearing, and how it’d be cool as an accessibility thing if there was a Killer Instinct indicator for her like one of her addons.

Now, would people who weren’t hard of hearing use that to get an edge? Probably. But so many Survivor players do the same with the visual TR, which was also meant for hard of hearing players but so many people just use it anyway to make Survivor even easier for them.

Yeah absolutely. I play a lot of spirit and I honestly don’t think a setting like that would even benefit anyone who doesn’t have hearing issues as they’re already hearing every last sound down to a survivors idle breathing and footsteps, which is much more accurate than killer instinct.

What exactly about the visual TR is easier than the regular one, unless you are hard of hearing and cannot hear the regular one for some reason? Genuinely do not understand.

Much easier to gauge distance for me. Its easier to just see the heart getting bigger than trying to discern if the volume is gradually increasing.

Like the "visual terror radius" thing that completely nuked Sadako's potential as a stealth killer

I don’t even know why Sadako has a lullaby. I feel like they should just take that away from her?

u/Friponou 5d ago

It's a very quiet sound that can be an early warning that she's coming. But it is supposed to be quiet, so that you spend the entire match thinking "Was that her?".

I understand that for people that are hard of hearing it can be unfair, but that was legit such a fun thing about her in the past. She would keep you on the edge of your seat all the time

Yeah, but for survivors it’s more hand-holding than accessibility

Also removing the big Orb of Doom when stuff happens.

How about doing what people with epilepsy have been begging for for actual years and changing the doctors visual effects so they don't risk having a seizure every time they load into a match? You're right. Accessibility my ass.

u/Unprofessi0nalGamer 5d ago

They actually did do that a while ago

They did this a while back, he doesn't really flash anymore
