Positive changes that happened in 2021!

I decided to compile a list of positive changes to each side that happened in 2021, first the killers;

Quality of Life

Killers see a new widget which displays how many hooks they've earned during the match out of the possible total hooks.

Mangled status effect always lasts until fully healed

Decisive Strike - Now deactivates when performing certain actions that are not part of evading the Killer

Noteable Perks added or changed;

Deadlock

No Way Out

Hex: Retribution: Oblivious condition changed to trigger from interacting with any type of totem (was just cleansing hex totems). Increased aura reveal time to 15 seconds (was 10 seconds).

Hex: Blood Favor: Pallet blocking effect now triggers off basic attacks and special attacks (was just basic attacks). Pallet blocking radius increased to 32 meters (was 16 meters). Cooldown has been removed.

Hex: The Third Seal: Blindness effect now triggers off basic attacks and special attacks (was just basic attacks)

Hex: Thrill of the Hunt: Survivor penalty now applies to both Cleansing and Blessing actions (was just Cleansing). Penalty stacks increased to 8/9/10% per stack (was 4/5/6%). Maximum penalty increased to 40/45/50% (was 30%). Loud noise notification has been removed.

After reaching 5 pages long I gave up because I was only up to May and didn't want to spend all afternoon on this.
