Accepted Bleed Change

[Sorcs]

Bleed right now is a bit overwhelming at 8 damage/ a second for a duration of 3 seconds.
Leaving no room for counterplay or survival most of the time.

A slight adjustment would make it more easier to deal with at 1 damage/a second over 20 seconds, this would give a chance for people to survive. An active can also be added to insure the next shot will inflict bleed with a 45 second cooldown to make up for the damage lost.

An added HUD indicator on how long the bleed will persist would also be nice.

I think it'd be fine if you flipped its values. So instead of 8 damage per second for 3 seconds, it did 3 damage per second for 8 seconds.

This ^
I also kind of think 50% chance is a bit much, especially when you can make guns that can 1 shot you and then if you get the bleed, you're dead

Indeed, Bleed is being changed this update to work similarly to what @Siddo suggested. Less damage every tick but for longer.

Spoiler: hmm

Yeah, bleed is pretty cancer because even if you kill the person with a bleed weapon there’s still a 50% chance that you’ll bleed out if they did enough damage. Like, 50% odds are pretty good if you’re making a one-shot weapon. It’s rather too strong on the AWP and ARs (when the first shot is to the head).

Addressed in the recent hotfix, and more is planned with the February update.
Thanks for suggesting.
