Why I hate Decisive Strike more as Survivor than as Killer

As a Survivor you have three options when you load into a match,

  1. Run Decisive Strike and risk having a dead perk slot because it doesn't come into play every game even when you try to force it.
  2. Run another Obsession perk to make sure the Killer thinks someone has Decisive. There are very few options and a lot of them also run into the inconsistency problem.
  3. Run a build that you enjoy with four useful perk slots and risk a game with no Obsession where the Killer is likely to tunnel someone out of the game within the first three minutes.

The perk is so damn strong that the consequences for NOT running it force you to always run it or another Obsession perk. Or risk having a GG from the loading in.

    I don't have your problem. I only run DS when I'm going for a 4 Stun in one Match quest. I run DS and Head On and sacrifice two palette hits for it.

    I have no need or feel the need to be compelled to use DS in any way, shape or form.

    I also don't care if they nerf it to hell or even delete it from the game, because I don''t use it. BHVR, feel free to delete DS from the game so that killers can find something new to complain about. It seriously gets old.

    Make BT base kit with a 32m range requirement instead of terror radius and Decisive Strike can get deleted for all I care

    Wish it was reworked into actual non-weaponizable anti-tunneling perk that isn't tied to obsession mechanic - Everyone is happy.

    Survivors have better anti-tunneling perk and killers don't have to deal with people using it to force gens/saves/lockers etc.

    You know a game has serious problem behind their team when specific perks are mandatory and you can't play without them.

    I find it ridiculous that every Killer needs to assume there's a DS everytime there's a Obsession, or everytime they're going to a M1 on a survivor, the first think we all think is "do you have dead hard my friend?".

    This is the same for Killers, which are forced to use the same perks 100% of the matches. Everytime you see a Freddy, the first thing which comes to everyone mind is "ohh freddy, sure he has BBQ, Pop and Corrupt at least or Undying and Ruin"

    They need to release changes to all perks to encourage players to use different perks.

    You forgot N°4: Teammates making terrible unhooks because they count on you having DS.
