Thoughts on Starstruck?

What have been your experiences against this perk so far?

I've played survivor mostly solo since All-Kill Chapter released, and I've found the perk to be very hit-or-miss. ...but boy do I hate when hits.

I nervously wait for the day I face an All-Seeing, Windstorm Wraith running Starstruck with Distressing

    It's an interesting question. I think that, as far as the basic use of keeping people away while you're carrying, it's a great addition to the game. I think time will tell whether the secondary use (hunting people after they've been exposed) is a problem.

    Its an interesting idea for a perk, but its too ineffective to be useful unles the Survivors are feeling particularly stupid.

    It certainly counters sabo builds very effectively and it could be used in specific builds.

    Where's the poll option for it being a pretty bad perk that's nothing but meme's?

    I don't care about it, it's so useless if used wrong and it'll eventually just be a gimmick perk no one uses

    I like it. Starstruck puts some fear into survivors. If you hook near a generator, the survivors will pay a price if they don't scatter.

    * Except on Nurse

    I think the same of Infectious Fright.

    Its the "Go away I'm hooking someone" perk.

    Surprisingly it actually helps the survivor(s) who are being hooked as the exposed makes nearly all hook divers run away instead of farming them(aka you) to death.

    It's hard to make it work without Agitation. Even when survivor is in front of you, you can't really catch him.

    I managed to hit Claudette when perk's cooldown just reset and she didn't have time to react.

    But most of the time after hooking it works very well on survivors who rely on stealth in my terror radius.

    On it's own it's a balanced perk with clear counterplay. I haven't tried it in combo with Agitation but I expect it will be pretty situational.

    its definitely gives perks like distressing, agitation, or maybe even mad grit and iron grasp more viability
