Question of the day #1 (survivor question)
Q. Using only adept perks which survivor would you choose & why?
(About this idea)
I play dead by daylight a lot but don't post a lot here (read far too much)
I get asked a lot of questions by friends / the kids ect about the game so not all questions are mine!
I thought why not build up my post count, hopefully build up some community engagement & hopefully not have them all turn into war zones or complaints about this that or the other!
I've currently got just over 400 questions from 7 categories (survivor, killer, perks, realms / maps, achievements, offerings & miscellaneous) so thats enough to take us just over a year & give plenty of variety each week (where possible i'll try to do all 7 categories a week though some have far more questions than others)
Starting this on a monday Aug 15th (it's monday in the uk almost 2am I know its still sunday for my friends over the Atlantic)
Hopefully we can keep these fairly on topic & avoid too many arguments plenty of other posts for those!

To answer my own question Meg mostly because she's my main & I can't let her go but also because even though I use none of her perks in my normal build I'd be pretty confident winning over half my games with just her perks.

Yun Jin because I have deeply bonded myself with Self Preservation.

If DBD was still the same game I loved, I would have chosen Laurie.
But, if we take the current game into consideration, then the answer is definitely Dwight. Bond, Prove Thyself and Leader should be enough to help on most, if not all, trials.
Not to mention they are good perks to counter the sheer amount of slowdown that people seem to be using lately.

Jeff Johansen.
Aftercare is a great alternative to Kindred which is my favourite survivor perk.
Distortion can be extremely useful when the killer actually does have aura reading. Lethal Pursuer encourages killers to run mutliple aura reading perks and this means that distortion will often counter multiple perks/add-ons at times. The new buff to get tokens is really good.
Breakdown can be unexpectedly helpful. It gives you killer aura after being unhooked which is nice but it breaks hooks for 3 minutes which is a really long time and this could potentially allow a survivor to wiggle off.

Mikaela. CoH is good perk and she is so cute. Good enough for me

Probably Bill
Unbreakable and BT are never bad perks and Left Behind can be okay for solo Q games that have gone bad

If we go by Perks, definitely Dwight. I don't want to play without Bond. :)
But in general I love Jane and would always have plenty of fun with her Perks too.

Mikaela exclusively for COH. I refuse to take that perk off because it means my teammates won't be taking over a minute to self-care.

David, because I clearly don't have enough problems.

Feng, because Alert and Lithe are really good, and Technician is not that useful once you're used to skillchecks but it's nice quality of life perk I guess.

Tough one, especially assuming we can't have a common for the fourth perk slot.
I think I would go with Bill because he is already my main and has two good perks.
A close second would be Quentin because I love running Wake Up and Pharmacy isn't too bad. It's kind of sucky on it's own now, but has it's uses. Vigil is a good support perk and can maybe throw off Starstruck and Make your choice.
A close third would be Felix. I've been running Desperate measures in my normal build, built to last is decent with certain items, and visionary is a perk.

Thanks for so many answers & such wide ranging ones too.
Tomorrow's Q will be more around this time to better fit most regions time zone
I am a Meg main but I also play all survivors in rotation using only their 3 perks mostly for stats analysis (will post on that soon) & partly to at least prove to myself solo queue isn't that bad & full meta builds aren't needed to get out.
I've completed 4 full rotations so far (124 games) Meg, Jeff, Steve, Mikaela & yun Jin all had a 75% escape rate overall my esacpes (via any means) in the first 4 rotations was 54 out of 134 (43.5%) a couple of deaths were knowing sacrifices to get others out but still thats a death!
Thankfully no survivor had a zero escape rate. Thankfully at the half way point in round 5 (16 games) I have an escaped 10 games (62.5%) with Mikaela & yun jin adding further to their escapes (others yet to play)
Of course all of that still relies on many variables teammates most importantly, killer, map, & of course good old fashion luck at times!
Thanks again for all the answers im a stat / data nerd & its always interesting to see the opinions of everyone else.
I'll start doing the stat posts (way more than survival rates) once i've had time to review the videos (yes I record every single game for accuracy & proof of course will all be on YouTube eventually)

Mikaela, CoH and SS, plus ginger and booty

Meg. Sprint Burst is great obviously and Adrenaline is one of those perks that can do nothing or absolutely save your entire game. It would suck not having kindred though.
Mykaela if it was for looks because I love her character model.
