Small Game outshines Counterforce.

Killers... you really had nothing to worry about. Counterforce (on its own) is not the “Overpowered Hex Destroying, game breaking perk” some made it out to be.

Having used the perk a lot, I find that it’s simply not practical trying to remember where exactly an aura was revealed, and it’s most definitely not a good idea to be heading towards any revealed auras straight away. Sure, the extra speed is nice, but Small Game still outshines this perk. Being able to know how many are cleansed, and be alerted when you’re near one that needs to be searched out is WAY better than what Counterforce does if Counterforce is used on its own.

    Yup. Not counting that the aura shown is not added to maps unlike with Detective's Hunch.

    I refuse to use Small Game out of spite so Counterforce it is for me.

    I dont even have Jill, and I already know Small game much better than Counter force. Because Im a hardcore Small gamer.

    I never thought that Counterforce would be Hex killer perk. However I had hopes that this would make Hexes into a more interesting side objective for survivors and that they could try to add more interesting Hexes if they release those perks. To be fair I would be all in for more anti-hex perks if we get more interesting Hexes.

    Small Game is still better for finding the Totem, yes. Counterforce shines more when you already have an idea where the Totem spawns or when you have teammate who tell you where to go. Could be a nice addition to a build with Inner Strengh as the extra speed from cleasing transforms into extra speed healing.

    Yup. Not sure why that was that ever in question tbh. Small game is just way better at totem detection except, maybe, on multi level maps and doesn't have the drawbacks counterforce does on detection. Now counterforce AND small game can allow someone knock out totems fast if that's a goal.

    Counterforce + Small game allowed me to cleanse 15 totem in 3 games, so yeah amazing duo !

    I used to always run Small Game before they nerfed it. I actually prefer Detective's Hunch now over SG.
