Something that confuses me with the new DS

They're nerfing it so it won't be a free escape during the endgame. But they are buffing Off The Record so you'll have 80 seconds of Endurance. Don't they realise that Off The Record will be better at giving you a free escape than DS ever was?

The only reason why they do this is to have another Perk in the Meta. DS was overnerfed so that it is useless now. So people will run Off the Record.
So instead of many Survivors running DS you will have many Survivors running Off the Record. And BHVR can say they changed the Meta.
As long as they don't open the exit themselves, yes it will be stronger in some ways.
If the survivor is put into endurance at/near the hook and the killer is able to down them before reaching the exit. Then there's nothing the survivor can do themselves from not being picked up.
They suit different scenarios.
OtR won't work if you're grabbed off a vault or from a locker for instance.
Bodyblocks will still work + maybe new Borrowed Time with endurance and speed boost + maybe Hope with infinte 7% speed boost...
I really hope the speed boosts do not stack.
Idk about after the update but right now some speed boost do stack.
