    I never choose DS because when I had in the past I rarely got any use out of it, and when I did it never stopped the killer from tunneling me. To me its just a wasted perk slot that I could allocate to something that is less conditional.

    DS / UB carry survivors to red rank, because bad survivors don't run them and low rank killers don't need to respect them.

    If I play against survivors, I always respect DS unless the survivor is exceptionally potato. More often than not, I find they aren't running it.

    Come the end of the match, I generally see green ranks never run DS. Purples are a mixed bag, but always meta perks. Red ranks always DS, UB, or both - never neither.

    The perks literally will carry survivors up to those ranks because they destroy the ridiculous momentum most Killers can generate vs the majority of potato survivors.

    I genuinely would love to know the statistic of DS being run and percentage of those games it actually being used. I swear if you're not trying to abuse it you barely use it as much as you would kindred, bond, inner strength and other good perks. Hence why I don't run it. That said, there are definitely times where you wish you or your teammate were running it.

    I've tried using DS multiple times just because I constantly see people saying how powerful it is. Yet every time I've ever used it all that happens is I get camped and/or tunneled immediately afterward.

    I just call it the game over perk because using it is an almost guarantee to make the killer focus on me exclusively until I'm dead.
