Boil Over proposal
I'm sure the community can agree that Boil Over has always been one of those perks that really needed a buff in order to be viable, but its recent buff has stirred some concern for the health of the perk.
What if the perk worked like this:
- Increased stagger effect by 50/75/100%
- The killer can not see any hook auras for 6 seconds upon picking you up
- The killer suffers from an additional 2% hindered status effect
The perk would remain relatively the same, but with altered effects to improve its poor viability. The killer would still have a fair shot with dealing with the perk and would encourage them to pay attention to their surroundings to counteract against the aura-reading denial. Additionally, the current BO's height effect relies on the right maps/situations, but this would make it more consistent w/o relying on map offerings and be fair even with sweat teams.
Of course, the killer can bring agitation or other "carry perks" to reduce the impact this may have, but that can be said for many strats: counterforce vs hex's, autodidact vs coulrophobia/anti-heal, bt vs campers, etc.
This is probably not the best idea to buff the perk in a fair state, but I wanted to share a possible idea that could the perk in a better direction.

Home the perk has such niche effects that a rework is probably all that will save it

True. The perk's concept was to be a nuisance to the killer while being carried whilst providing a higher chance of wiggling off which I suppose is what I was trying to preserve.
What rework would you suggest?
