Interactive Decisive Strike - Rework

Hello team,

Below is my suggestion for the perk Decisive Strike making it interactive between both the killer and survivor using it.

======================================

Rework: Upon using Decisive Strike, if the survivor is successful in their skill check, the killer is met with a fast and subjectively difficult skill check which will determine the stun duration.

If Killer successfully hits their skill check: Stun time remains the same at 3 seconds as of Patch 6.1.0.

If Killer is unsuccessful / misses in their skill check: Stun time from Decisive Strike is increased to 5 seconds.

Theory logic:

Survivor activates Decisive Strike:

If Survivor fails skill check -- no action


If Survivor hits their skill check:

Killer is met with a difficult and quick skill check that will determine stun duration:

If Killer fails skill check -- stun duration 5 seconds

If Killer succeeds skill check -- stun duration 3 seconds


Optional:

1) Animation or notification sound effect for a failed skill check or vice versa can be optional to implement in order to allow players to know what was the outcome.

2) If allowing this perk to be used when exit gates are powered on, a successful killer "counter skill check" can result in stun duration being 2 seconds for high risk and reward gameplay.

3) This interactive perk idea can be used for an entirely new perk with a similar system and idea.

=======================================

I believe this interactive system can both be rewarding and fun for both the Killer and Survivor.

Thank you for reading,

Kumy ♥️
