Potential change for DS

Hey all. I'm here with an idea to change Decisive Strike to make it more fun. I'm not proposing a nerf or a buff just a change.

So as killer, I totally understand when a survivor uses DS and I'm never even really mad about it. My only problem is the timer. OH LORD the timer, it lasts for so long. It doesn't matter what you're playing, or how you're doing or whatever, being stunned is literally never fun. And then the survivor just saunters away like normal. Which also isn't very fun to do either.

I think a fun change could be to lower the stun time drastically, to maybe like 2 or 3 seconds, and to compensate give the survivor a sprint burst like effect after using it (maybe not exactly like sprint burst, you can tweak the numbers and stuff as you see fit I'm not too good at that stuff). This way the same distance gets covered, so the perks quality and usefulness doesn't change, but now the killer gets to start playing again sooner, and the survivor gets to zoom away which is always more fun than running away regularly.

I mean the only real change in its effectiveness is like, maybe on an indoor map or in a jungle gym it can be disorientating, but I like to think that it adds a little higher of a skill cap, which is never a bad thing if anything it can be fun to learn, and now you cant like, DS and then unhook someone and then both of you run away, but to be fair I don't see that happening that often anyways.

Let me know what you guys think

    Not a bad idea. I don't think it would have a large effect though.

    It would annoy me less to get hit by it after hooking 2 other survs and then coming back to the Laurie that I hooked 45 seconds ago
