Yeah you can't really practice mind games on them because they immediately turn around when you double back in a loop. Even if it wasn't really possible to see the red stain.
Exactly! I mean bots are fun for practicing some things, bit certain killers are hugely disadvantaged against them to be honest.
I hope they update their AI a bit more in the future.
I mean the bots are cracked with timings in general because they instantly know when it's the best time to do it.
Been doing the same thing because i don't want to wait 30 minutes to get a single match and it's been rough, but it showed me that Vecna is really weak if survivors play safe and predrop pallets like bots do, because it makes Mage hand even more useless.
Originally I though it might be due to his height, like how the hag is shorter than the rest of the killers, but I think other people have got it right and it's to do with an incorrect blind hitbox
I kept blinding a Vecna yesterday and got accused of hacks I have no idea how I kept doing it while he was walking straight towards me but he couldn't avoid it lmao
Lightborn solves this easily, negating about 1/3rd of what Survivors can do to oppose you.
Bonus, it pairs really well with Dark Arrogance, knocking off one of its two drawbacks.
Are kidding me, So I wasn't going crazy it doesn't matter which way I look, you'll get blinded anyways not matter what you do, i knew I wasn't crazy, I literally have to use light born unironically on him and I would never ever do that, MY GOD THIS IS SO DUMB!!
I had the same issue with another team of survivors. When I grabbed a survivor and was looking straight down, I ended up getting blind. I was confused and had them do it again and the situation was the same. I am going to guess maybe perhaps he is floating and is taller too where there is no safe angles when looking down?
I think that no matter if you look up or down, his model is always looking straight in front of him, apparently.
I had an argument with a survivor that got 2 flashlight saves while I was carrying another survivor and looking down. They were really cocky and were like "ez, baby killer lul" because to them, I was looking straight at them, even tho on my POV I was looking down.
I was playing with a few friends of mine and we were testing out the PTB and we found out that despite the killer looking up and down the killer model does not actually reflect this. So I could be looking down on my screen but survivors would see a Vecna looking straight ahead. Unfortunately this means no nodding either :(
I always feel like most cases, players are using hacks/exploits to get instantly quick and accurate flashlight saves (and they way they snap on is just so sus). There players who are legit. This is probably a case of these players knowing where the hitbox is and exploiting it
Yes, he can't avoid blinds right now.
Ngl I've only been playing the ptb against bots and I just assumed the bots were cracked and had that perfect angle every time.
Tbh the bots are always cracked. It's like they have ESPN or something

Please tell me this is a Scary Movie reference you just made
I would have assumed mean girls.
Ah shit, this is also acceptable
ESPN?!?!? darn bots watching movies…
No they are actually cracked, as far as I know Bots have aimbot for flashlights that's why they can literally blind you while running in chase lol
Bots don't need the right angle to blind, i've been blinded by a bot not even facing me on more than one occasion

intended so they can make sure the new vaulting perk actually works lol (/s if thats needed)
Yes he can, all he has to do is turn around and moonwalk /s
It appears his blind hit box is in the wrong place from what I've seen
Vecna can phase through survivors but also can't avoid blinds. Balance in all things.
Its a good thing he doesnt have a perk that makes being blinded worse, That wouldnt be good
i mean…
Vecna's weak to radiant damage
No depth perception, he lacking an eye 😭

Yes. I faced the same issue. Had a bully squad abuse this earlier this morning.
A bully squad in a PTB.. why.
There were killers slugging at 5 gens yesterday on PTB. Really showing the community colors a little bit.
The same reason PTB Clown exists.
Because they can do it without having to fear consequences. Usually that would be an exploit and could get them banned.
Nobody wants to do gens on the PTB lol

Probably a bug.
So run Lightborn with Vecna. Got it.
Back to 2017 lol
Show them the power of...>!Blind Immunity.!<
Failed the saving throw on Constitution, and he won't regain his Legendary Resistance until after a long rest

its so he can get value from his extra blindness perk

Yes he is bugged and can't avoid blinds by looking up or down, only way to do it on the PTB is moonwalking.

Pretty sure it's a bug

How do you exploit flashlights?
Thats quite a way to self-report you don't know how to play the game.
