    A full Hex build with Thrilling and a fast traversing Killer is viable now, with an extra 5º Hex it would be overkill, there are streamers winning the game just by hooking 3 people and then downing everyon with DH since they cant no longer cleanse DH without getting one shotted, cleansing a totem with Thrill takes 20 seconds, Blight can reach you before you finish that and smack you senseless forcing you to restart the cleansing.

    The fact that Pop isnt there and makes the build flawed is the point of having only 4 perks, with Pop in that build gens wouldnt fly as fast as they fly when you dont have any slowdown perk and once you start rolling the Pops the stallin becomes very harsh because its very easy to end chases fast.

    And then it all reduces to "yes all that is OP they would have to nerf them" if you end up having to nerf 100 perks to fit a 5º one is not worth all the hassle, on Survivors it may be doable on Killers is impossible because certain perks which are bad on certain Killers are insane in others, Infectious Fright is super strong on Nurse and with a 5º slot it should be nerfed but then, its rubbish on Hag so you end in a situation where all perks are weaker and the ones who were okeish for your Killer are now trash so you have very few usable perks because the one that was okeish on Myers got nerfed for it was broken on Jigsaw when she got an extra perk, the only real choice is using only the meta.

    I'd agree with killers getting a fifth perk slot but not survivors.

    They can't balance their game with 4 perks, let alone with 5 perks

    dude it's not about the build it's perk strength, an additional perk slot won't make theme builds better than just having that extra meta perk in your meta build. You want me to name a build i don't have to since as said just put on another meta perk in your meta build as you usually have to choose from an exhaustion perk, iron will, DS, unbreakable, prove thyself, OoO.

    point is this isn't a good thing to do to the game because meta is a meta for a reason and this would make the meta stronger.
