Anyone running a QoL build on Killer?

Like Lightborn, Shadowborn, Starstruck, Mad grit,Enduring, brutal strenght etc?

So Im a pure killer main and i see survivors run meta builds like 90% of the time.

I myself tend to run builds that dont really help in chase but make playing killer a little bit more enjoyable.

I feel like many things survivors do to "annoy" killers can be countered by perks.

I hate beeing blinded everytime when i break a pallet --> lightborn

Pallet breaking feels so slow --> Brutal strenght

Oh survivors body blocking for each other? --> Starstruck (which i dont run because i dont own trickster but i got mad grit instead wich does the same in regards to counter body blocking)

Shadowborn should be base Imo but i dont mind wasting a slot on it.

So does any one else go feel good over meta?

As I said i only play killer so I dont know what other killers run^^

    Sorta.

    My build is Lightborn, Beast of Prey, Distressing, and BBQ. The first perk lets me avoid blinds, because blinds are annoying, and the rest of the perks help me earn points faster, because the grind is annoying.

    For a while I kept getting survivors who would body block the hook basically every match, so during that time I ran Starstruck because I was annoyed at being denied points (I think it was during an event with special hooks or something, it was worse than just the normal kind of body blocking).

    I never stack them since that's a good way to lose, but sometimes I will give up a single slot for something like enduring / shadowborn.

    I don't consider perks like Brutal / Enduring / Bamboozle QoL perks though. Those are legit meta perks on some killers. Even starstruck + distressing is a meta build for Nurse.

    Lightborn I refuse to run, I would run Franklins 10000 games in a row before you ever caught me with lightborn.

    Although Bamboozle is probably my weak spot. I crutch soooo hard on the bamoozle on some killers because I really don't want to deal with Shack + Jungle gyms or busted god windows.

    all the time I've not used a full meta build in forever helps keep my MMR at a nice spot where I'm not against squads that finish gens in 5 mins right away 24/7. I still get those teams from time to time but, not a lot.
