Deerstalker and whisperers built in?
I have been hearing lots of talk about survivors hiding for prolonged periods of time and making the game less fun. This seems easily fixable. While whisperers and deerstalker do good things , they don't make enough of a difference over good perks for the killer. Don't you think it would be better if they were built in ? It would make losing survivors and being robbed of a hook by losing the survivor you downed way way less of a problem.

as in part of all killers basic skills or merge both in a single perk?
If the first option i tink it would be interesting, for the most part ALL killers on fiction tend to have some form of supernatural way to find the people around, so it doesnt sound far fetched, on the other hand being able to se the auras of downed survivors in a few meters away from you should be a must, plenty of times they just literally crawl to weird places and almost become invisible, the first person camera doesnt help.
If the first was implemented i could se wispers have around 24 meters wich sound more than fair, while deerstalker being 24 to imts more than enought, heck i would go for 12 and i would still find it super usefull.
If the second idea its implemented, i feel they would need a slight buff, mechanically speaking wispers its usefull but demands a lot from the player, instead i would make it so wispers have a literal proximity inbuilt mechanic, making so the wispers become louder and louder the closer you are to the survivor, that would make it a far more usefull perk. Deerstalker if merged with wispers could have its range reduced a bit just to compensate for the merging and upgread to wispers

Nah. Play Doctor if you want built in Whispers and Deerstalker.

No, but give idle crows to survivors who don't work on gens for at least 10 consecutive seconds after three minutes. No more holding the game hostage.

Deerstalker is such a weird perk.
90% of the time you need it it's because you've misplaced someone and just want to end the game already. That's not worth a perk slot.

Recently opened up a thread asking for some buffs to it. Feel free to give it an upvote and participate in the discussion if you agree!

As in , built in to all killers. Crows don't help because survivors can run in the same place and keep hiding. And , I main doctor , but what makes him so special about it? Holding the game hostage by hiding for 10 minutes is not fair or fun. (Replying to multiple messages )

While buffs to deerstalker would be nice , other perks still would shade it out. It would be nice to have a counter to survivors being too stealthy.

Only if gen auras are shown as well to the survivors. I swear on some maps I spend 3 minutes running around just looking for a gen to work on when we are down to 1 or 2 left to complete. 😂

I'm not sure about this. Being in dying state and trying to crawl away to hide or be healed is a legit survivor tactic. Built in whispers would destroy the concept of glorified hide and seek by giving the killer too much of a permanent and constant hunting advantage, thus unbalanced survivor abilities to hide when killer is nearby.
I think it makes more sense and is more fair to survivors if they stop afk crows from spawning when a killer is nearby and hasn't left the area the survivor is hiding in for prolonged amount of time.
I am a killer main but have played survivor a lot for tomes as well. This is a constant issue for me as survivor. Terror radius alert, run hide in closet, killer runs circles nearby searching and won't leave area. They probably have whispers perk. I stay in closet cuz if I leave I'm dead. Afk crows spawn in like only 1 minute... not cool.

But there needs to be a way to prevent survivors pushing the limits on hiding. It's not very fun to look fir survivors and by the time you find one the gates are powered . There'd have to be some balancing around it , but deerstalker would be fine at 15 meters or close around it .
