So what are people's thoughts about buffed coup de grace?
After playing with it a bit i found that it would be a pretty good perk if it was 100% increased lunge.
The amount of near misses i had was honestly impressive.
Also Legion's Frenzy rush doesn't consume tokens anymore so that's nice

the initial nerf never really made any sense, it's only ever good for 5 hits and you can still miss.

The thing I don’t like about it is the swinginess (no pun intended) of when you actually use the tokens. The extra lunge distance is nice if you have the token when you actually need the extra boost, but because it automatically gets used up on your next lunge after a gen pops the only choice you have when you see you need a lunge that is normal distance is either lunge and waste the token or don’t lunge and not get a hit.
Personally I’d prefer the perk if it simply was, say, a +30/40/50% distance boost on all lunges. No tokens involved, nothing overly complicated, it just makes all your lunges moderately better. The current version just feels like it’s complicated for complication’s sake, at least in my opinion.

Idk how 100% increase was considered by bhvr to be "too strong". Should just be 100% OR better yet change how you recieve tokens and keep it at 80 depending.
Personally I think it should give you a token every hook, but nerf the lunge distance bonus back to 60% if need be. Would slot it snuggly into a few builds if this were the case. Perks that reward you for playing well are better than ones that reward you for losing. Just saying.

I mean, almost the whole patch were only number tweaks.. like they noted in the patch notes.
But they didn't fix Coup the Grace's problems with this buff. I would've liked a version where it works similar to Fire up.
- 1 gen done: 10 % faster lunge speed.
- 2 gens done: 20 % faster lunge speed.
- 3 gens done: 25 % faster lunge speed.
- 4 gens done: 25 % faster lunge speed and 10 % longer lunge duration.
- 5 gens done: 25 % faster lunge speed and 20 % longer lunge duration.
I like the idea of Fire up (event though it's to weak) and you could really apply that to Coup the Grace well by making it stronger as the game progresses.
Edit: Those numbers are there only as an example, before someone screams "TOO OP, THANK GOD YOU'RE NOT A DEV REEE" and so on.

As others have pointed out before, Coup's biggest problem is that you're sometimes forced to waste a token by lunging. If I'm not mistaken, the active ability button is not currently being used for Killers. Why not incorporate that into Coup? If you want to lunge normally, then you can. If you want the coup enhanced lunge, then you can press the active ability button. Could help make coup go from a mediocre perk to a niche but decent one.

It’s unlock condition is too limiting to make it a strong pick.
