Mettle of man is useless now
I work for my mettle of man stacks, i take hits and put myself in danger for having a benefit in dire situations. This should not be treated as a normal endurance effect. It should not stop when im healing myself and it should not stop when trying to pick survivors off the ground or unhooking. I got the stacks and everything but im doing a CONSPICUOUS ACTION, no I'm just playing the game.
This change is so useless, MoM was good when the only thing giving you endurance was a medkit add-on or borrowed time. But this is just the way worse version of deadhard. Please either revoke the changes or do something completely different with it. Its not working as intended

It's been useless since they changed the hits from regular attack to protection. It went from being a solid solo perk that wasn't guaranteed to activate to an SWF meme perk.
I wish I thought to keep some statistics on the original version of it because it didn't count as a hit against: nurse hitting you out of a blink, wraith hitting you after uncloaking, hag hitting your after coming out of a trap, trapper hitting you while you're stuck in a trap, legion hitting you during frenzy, and then of course things like huntress hatchets, billy and bubba chainsaw attacks. I know that clown, doc, and trapper had it the worst probably in that order.
It lasted one month which tells me that BVHR likely collected it's money on the license and then said up yours and/or decided to kowtow to the lowest common denominator.

It's absolutely insane that they decided to tell the killer when a player has Mettle of Man active. Not only can you not progress the game once you achieve the effect, but the killer knows this and has zero reason to go after you, so you can't try to bait them into a chase either unless they don't know what perks are or are just screwing around. Virtually the only thing you can do with the perk anymore is bodyblocking, and at that point, Dead Hard or a styptic are a thousand times more reliable. They took a meme perk and nerfed it to smithereens.

I wouldn't say it's useless.
MoM situationally is useful at body blocking for teammates. If you have a stack already, you can take 2 hits for a teammates as if you don't leave the range from the killer they won't know you have it. Most notably it's great for breakout saves.
Other than that, it's just kind of worse than other endurance options. Dead Hard requires no set up, just proper timing. OTR is active after an unhook. Styptic Agent can be used whenever.

i have feeling they might remove conspicuous actions and my nightmare dreams of survivor bodyblocking me as killer will come true.

Add it to the pile of 100 or so other useless survivor perks.

Btw its also very exploitable, since they changed it i only use it with object of obsession. So yeah, buying Ashley is not a complete waste of money if you wanna know what the killer is up to at all times after you have your two stacks and the endurance, LOL

Mettle of man actually encourages the worst aspect of DBD, taunting. Even if the killer couldn't tell if the survivor had mettle of man, it still encourages the survivor to go up to the killer in an attempt get them to chase them, and they actually can't do anything without deactivating it, so they are forced to play like this. its main purpose is to annoy and that's just not good design.
The only other way the perk can be used is to body block, which makes it not completely useless, combined with breakout and a bit of luck it can get some value, but there was no reason to make it harder. Conspicuous actions deactivating perks is not good. DS was different and I understood its change, the others should never have been changed.
