Should exhaustion get a nerf?
In my opinion all exhaustion perks are too tier (dead hard,balanced landing,Sprint burst,lithe,head on, etc) so do exhaustion itself need a little bit of change? Sure not necessarily the next thing they should balance but still.
From balance perspective pretty fair, when you use your exhaustion perk you can't use it anymore unless the exhaustion bar goes to zero. Pretty balanced since you can use your exhaustion perk once in a chase.
One idea of an exhaustion nerf for me and a nice quality of life buff for killers is that exhaustion cause survivors to breathe louder,since you know they are exhausted, or that they will get a minor speed penalty of 1/2% making their sprint OR if you prefer their walking speed 1/2% slower, but whenever a survivor crouches they restore exhaustion +10% faster (the breathing idea can be countered by iron will).
What do you guys think? Let me know down below

I like the idea of survivors breathing more loudly while exhausted. Otherwise I believe exhaustion is balanced. The only perk i feel to be a little cheap/crutchy is dead hard, and that barely works on dedicated servers.

they are perfectly fine since balanced landing was changed I have zero problems with it

I don't have any complaints with exhaustion perks. If the sound was fixed, it wouldn't be an issue.

Exhaustion is balanced IMO.
The idea that it could flat out give more of a disadvantage for survivors seem too much IMO. It it was introduced as a perk I’d be more in agreement.

I don't like Exhaustion Perks one bit, but i think Exhaustion is fine.

In my opinion I don't think they need to be changed anymore, because like you said they nerf exhaustion perks to where we only get it once a chase. But if they were to do something with then I wouldn't care because I don't use them

They certainly don't need to be nerfed anymore than they have been. Also, I don't consider a nerf, that makes surviors easier to find and kill, a simple "quality of life" change.

Dedicated Servers are already a heavy nerf, nothing to add here.

Nah, after Balanced Landing was changed I think they're all fine. They're strong perks but that's not inherently a bad thing.
Could be a cool little addition to Stridor or something to have exhausted survivors make more noise though. Not that I have an issue with Stridor (it does its job when audio works properly) but it'd be a cool little touch if anything.

The only nerf I can really imagine happening is Survivor breathing getting louder while you’re Exhausted. Anything else would probably be too much? If making it baseline is too much (some Survivors are way too attached to their Exhaustion perks) then maybe it could be added as a Mindbreaker buff? That perk needs a lot of love.
