Dead man's switch

Which their of the previous do you think is best. It last 35/40/45s in its current state. And as of the new update it activates on any hook.

The issues that might make a lower tear more viable:

-quick efficient downs that when you hook dms is still active during the hooking action. (Granted at this point you are either doing to well for it to matter or you could just slug.)

-lower teir allows pop to be used on effected gens. I personally don't run any perks that encourage you to kick gens as I still see it as a waste most of the time. But I can see it being useful having their 1 or 2 to give that gen some regression with pop.

I know we had this discussion back with old discordance but I think it would be an idea to allow some perks to adjust their teir before a match starts.

    Personally, I think Tier 3 DMS is better. As you said, efficient downs might be a thing, but if you really Down people that fast that it would matter if it is off Cooldown 10 seconds earlier, you are doing already very good.

    And regarding the synergy with PGTW - I dont think that there is much. If you were running PGTW and decide to run DMS, you should switch to Pain Resonance. This also has the effect that any Survivor on the Gen screams and lets go of it, which blocks them. They wont regress while blocked by DMS, but you get the 15% Regression due to Pain Resonance and will have the Gen blocked for the full 45 seconds.

    Hmm...i run it on high mobility killers so i can push survivors off gens fairly easily and i don't want that gen to be backgrabbed. So tier 3 is good at wasting survivors time. (Especially in some games where id push a survivor off the same gen twice and theyd sit through 2 dms to do the gen) and i don't personally run pop/ruin since the update. I prefer agitation/pr with dms and deadlock. So i still think tier 3 is better for me. But i can see the value of tier 1 because i find myself waiting to hook to reset the timer. So to each their own id honestly say.
