Ultimate Karen speed vial (again)

Suggestion description:

I saw that Jimmy's suggestion got declined for poor reasoning.

original post:

I was thinking it would be pretty cool if we could have an actual unlimited speed vial in game, the KAREN vial. A 1 dose hit that lasts until you die, its not the most practical thing to have, and the uses would be quite limited, still it would add a little more fun to using the donor vials, and possibly bring more people to the donor shop

I don't see much harm in adding something like this. It's not something that would be abused, as speed vial players are few and far between.

Way too strong, the flanking potential would literally disrupt any competitive TDM. Also GunZ players do not like new items IF they would shift the typical meta of sword + 2 shotguns + meds

If by "competitive tdm" you mean any normal TDM then I doubt it would be any more disruptive than the normal speed vials are already, which they're not. What is it, like 3 vials or 5? It's basically enough already to last you an entire tdm round.

Plus if it lasts the entire time until you die, you somewhat put yourself into a disadvantage as you're stuck in that speed cycle. Where as most speed vial users use them for escape...

Then Jimmy responds with this:

I hear what your saying about the flanking, but would you not agree that's pretty much how it is already, the main played maps are all small enough you can be at or behind your enemy within 30 seconds. I cant see people sacrificing meds for the use of a speed vial in tdm either, when most time is spent dashing and wall climbing, walking speed would be obsolete.

But no one gets a chance to respond to to his claim as the thread became closed.

But Jimmy is absolutely right when it comes to flanking already. Players basically have to watch their back within ten seconds of a round starting WITHOUT speed vials. So the "flanking would be disruptive" doesn't really hold much of an argument in my opinion.

He's also right in the sense that no "competitive" player would think twice about trading meds for a speed vial that last the entire round/life. So basically if this were to be added it would be a neat little item for those who already do use speed vials (which aren't many) and would make those specific players a little more incentivized to spend those donor coins.
