What If Hubris ...

Hubris as a somewhat strong effect but like many killer perks, it needs to be combo - in this case with spirit furry and/or enduring - to really shine.

Or, the killers that benefit from it can't take 3 chase perks and expect to win a match. Basically, it's only usable in niche/gimmick builds that won't work reliably and that you'll see in 1/250 matches.

Because, it only works on M1s and typically M1s users aren't capable of catching someone in 20 seconds after a stun (bare Spirit, but like Nurse, it should already have been addressed so why bother with that).

So, what if Hubris, instead of giving expose to the survivor that stun the killer, gave expose to the whole team for those 20s. It would act as a slowdown, could be a nice asset for stealth killers, and a nice combo with stealth perks.

It's a strong effect, but it only really works on those killers that struggle a lot. Since Nurse doesn't get stun, it would be useless on her, and the perk is already broken on Spirit with that one build.

PS: if you keep gen regression tide to perks when it's needed in your main gameplay loop, you should consider that a standard Killer build will only have 1-2 slot available. Each new perk you create will simply be put in balance with the time you could gain from a gen defense perk. It's a vicious cycle. The more you have good time waster perks, the more difficult it gets for a chase or aura perk to make it into the build. Because, those perks only give you time from cutting the chase. But, hits without down are almost useless with the current heal speed (that's why auras are niche), expose is tied to strict conditions and chase perks don't work on their own. So, if a perk is not a straight game extender it needs to have a strong effect, be not too hard to trigger and work by itself or with only max 1 perk as combo - if so it needs to be very good at what it does - remember that SF/Enduring is just limit to be usable.
