We need variety for both killer and survivor perks

I’m honestly getting bored of seeing the same perks for killer and survivor over and over again, and when you want to try something new you realize it sucks because it’s not good. The devs need to do a heavy perk balancing update for some really bad perks. If they buff perks to be actually viable maybe the Meta will change from seeing DS , UB , BT , SB, IW and we will see a variety of different perks.

I think we need a perks to be balanced before I see anything new to the game.

    some will do it, some will not... actually most will not. You won't be able to change the people that only want to play the "BEST" build.... personally I have fun with mine.... I do fairly well with non-meta builds.

    The stupid thing is that the "meta" survivor perks are actually (for the most part) "lazy" survivor perks. All those second chances wouldn't mean shite if they played well in the first place - something I myself have proved time and time again. And no, I'm not talking about being an amazing looper, I am talking about not blindly running into situations. A little tactical thinking can be a literal lifesaver, and it is far more satisfying than fast vaulting into a locker the moment the killer comes near.

    That being said, it is far easier to run DS/UB and be completely mindless, then shame the killer for "tunelling" you. It is easier to run BT and bomb the hook than it is to wait for the opportune moment, preferably whilst repairing a generator. It is easier to DH for distance than it is to make the correct read in the first place.

    Edit: I realised after posting this that I come off as a giant prick - so be it. I just had a match where all of my teammates did exactly this. And the best part is that they barely did gens unless their DS was active.

    I´d also love that. There´s a lots of perks they could buff, but given the previous perk change record it seems it takes a while to do that.

    I'd have way more fun trying to find a playstyle that doesn't include Corrupt/Sloppy

    But then it's on the devs to understand that we want perks and other things changed before the next DLC comes out

    AND that's not going to happen.......... for some time
