Don't Nerf The Meta Perks

I get the reason for nerfing meta perks is to force people to have more diverse picks, but that's not gonna do anything except make the game more stressful for both sides. Reading the list of perks you mentioned to be nerfed, majority of these perks are not used because they're OP monsters, but because they counter a ######### gameplay strategy that's otherwise annoying to go against.

Borrowed Time and Decisive Strike are there to counter tunneling and camping. If we don't bring any of these two, it just make it a nightmare to counter tunneling killers; which is already an extremely ######### thing to go against even with these perks present (like against Bubba who can hit multiple survivors with one use of his power)

Corrupt Intervention, Pop Goes The Weasel and Hex: Ruin are there to counter gen rushing. As a killer main, I feel like I always HAVE to pick one of these perks when going in the game because because I know in high MMR, the gens will be done before I even get 4 hooks.

BBQ & Chili and Self-Care nerfs make no sense either. Those two perks are in a good place rn, if not even underpowered (its impossible to get the use outta BBQ on Midwich and Gideon), not to mention that they also work in the favor of the other side. Self-Care slows down pressure since survivors heal, while BBQ encourages killer not to camp (which lets face it, most killers use because of the bonus BP aspect).

Please, don't ruin these perks and make the game even more annoying to play. Instead, make built in counter to ######### gameplay strategies or buff other perks with meta potential to them.

    Yeah man, I don't see how their gonna change the game and the perks without nerfing or buffing them.

    Yet they refuse to just change the game to where the killer and survivors wouldn't need these perks. Though I'll admit, that's would take a while to do anyways.

    We don't know what other 40 perks they're changing and how. We should just chill till then imo.
