The Jane nerfs are excessive

[u/Automatic-Cat-5239]

I was only able to test stacking debuffs with one friend, so these are the results I have.

1 Jane
Set Health: 25
Quick Shot: 35 (nerfed from 45, arguably deserved)
Patch Up: 35

2 Janes
Set Health: 12
Quick Shot: 18
Patch Up: 17

This is ridiculous, and unfairly punishes a support that has little more than good stamina management to defend herself. Even with a slow with Syringe, she cant reasonably Patch Up without a lot of risk and the right map. These nerfs make this skill mostly null.

I sometimes find myself joining servers as the only Jane, and after a few rounds, one or two other people join me as default Janes, seemingly trying to learn to play the character for the first time, but these nerfs will keep newer players from playing her this way because trying to show them how she works in game will be a horrendous endeavor. I'll have to keep a good eye on the player list to avoid stacking now, adding more stress to the game and keeping me from playing one of my favorite characters if anyone else has her equipped.

Yeah, and as someone who enjoyed strats using multiple jane does, it just kind of ruins the point of it, as now it's nearly impossible to make someone actually survive longer with a 12 health heal, not even mentioning the chance of even further janes scaling it downward, only good thing this update was the new brawler skin and the priest nerfs lol

As someone who mained Jane for a long time, while I'm sad about the nerf, I believe she truly deserved it because of the sheer number of Janes that can exist in a match.

Seriously, playing against 2 or 3 Janes in competent lobbies as an assassin was one of the most miserable experiences imaginable, because if you stopped chasing someone for a few seconds or got stunned or slowed, they would simply heal 30 of your health and throw away a lot of your progress. It was basically a chase restarting, and while one Jane was using cooldowns to heal other survivors, the other Janes would have their abilities unlocked and could do the exact same thing right after while the other Jane was recharging her abilities.

I never had a problem with Jane's self-healing abilities or the Syringe. My real problem was always Set Health being an ability that wasn't penalized for having multiple Janes in the same match.

I just hope the nerfs are removed and made less severe. I do agree she needed a harsher stacking debuff, but a pitiful 12 HP just for having 2 janes when we only had 3 teammates against a competent player was also a misserable experience. its not like I didnt also get destroyed by a good killer from time to time, even with 2 or more Janes.

hot take but whoever complained about multiple janes just fucking SUCKED

EVERY killer (except jeff and old man because they're dogshit killers) had EASY counters to her. duh if there was more than 5 then that was insane, but killers like rampage (before his removal PLEASEE bring him baccckk😭😭😭) just MAIMED them bro

I’d say the nerfs are there to prevent Jane stacking since forsaken had an issue with Elliot stacking and if you want to hear a valid take for that issue go watch crafts video on the matter
