boil over
so why did they make it a bad and useless perk again?

Its not useless, its far more fair now, as it was highly abusable in certain areas of the game

And the shaking is pretty big now.
Nevertheless a strange buff imo. Why not simply "you wiggle faster 2/4/6%".

That's basically already a basekit thing with new wiggling

Because BHVR and questionable map design go hand in hand. Moment of silence for old balanced landing.

If they made it a useless perk, I wish someone would tell the survivors in the last four rounds I played as killer over last night and this afternoon. Every match with at least one Boil Over user, multiple matches with multiple Boil Over users paired up with map offerings (like Eyrie of Crows), sabo toolboxes, and Breakout.
None of that matters, of course, when I end up hard slugging rather than have the inevitable wiggling off, but obviously, while it didn't work for the survivors in my matches, it must be working effectively against someone for them to be running it. To be honest, I've seen Boil Over almost as much since the nerf as I did right after it was initially buffed.

It's not. I get a lot of use out of BO - if you run with hook placement in mind, you can get a surprising amount of escapes, especially if someone bodyblocks the carry.
Before the change, it made you almost completely unhookable from a number of spots on different maps - requiring you to slug and bleed people out.

This perk is so ######### annoying for us console players. It's like the killer is being moved by a hurricane

and it's still abusable. To be honest I'm sure as long as the "drop down to add progress" exists on it then it's going to be swf's hot bully perk.

Sabo, Breakout, Toolbox, Body blocking, Styptic Agent, Mettle of man, Hook distance offering exist. Except those requires a combination of 2 of those + a team mate to make it work.
Boil over can save you at least a hook per match. While not requires another survivor following you. You can not ask to have a single perk of 16 that will hand out more than 1 free hook every game.

Without bodyblocking, I've never had an escape thanks to BO from one of the standard spots. The only time that it happens are if someone goes down in the school tunnels in Badham (but this sucks at the best of times) or if I get unlucky in indoor maps.
RPD was fixed. IWOM and Eyrie are tight but you can still hook.
Further hook offerings need to go away. They make weird things happen on some maps (Midwich, Swamp, Badham).

Boil over is a fair perk now.
