New Anti-Endurance Killer Perk
When playing Killer, you want to win chases quickly, leading to a snowball effect that will slow down the Survivor's progress. This can be really difficult when every survivor on a team has not two health states, but three. There are many perks in the game that grant Endurance, and even items like medkits can give survivors Endurance. With more and more options like this getting added to the game, this will continue to be a problem. Even if you are consistently winning chases, if every survivor is using Endurance, it feels like there isn't much you can do to compete. I'd like to see a killer perk that counters this and punishes survivor teams for being overly reliant on endurance.
As for what the perk could be, a lot of things would work. Behavior could implement a perk that inflicts the Broken status effect on a survivor who avoids a hit with Endurance for one minute. They could also add a perk that gains a token each time a Survivor avoids a hit with Endurance, and gives some kind of benefit at 4 and 8 tokens. This benefit could be anything, from the exposed status effect, haste, or something else that would help the killer recover ground against the survivors in chases to make up for the lost time eating through Endurance. The counterplay to this would just be to not use Endurance as much and try using other perks and items instead.
This wouldn't replace gen slow down or anything, but it would be a nice option for m1 killers to use.

There's a perk that inflicts Broken for a minute if they take a protection hit. Worth considering.

I will just save you the trouble.
They probably won't do it. Endurance right now is the mechanic used for base kit BT.
So i doubt bhvr will want to introduce any way to buff tunneling, they already get enough flag for that.
They might introduce something to deal with DH, being a perk that counters DH or a nerf to DH. But something that counters endurance i feel like it is very unlikely.
I saying this, but \pinhead has a purple add-on that allows him to do this. If something like that was brought for every killer. The rage in this forum would be really something else.

Because it will be so hard for them to create a new buff for basekit BT and change Endurance for everything else, of course...

Yeah, bhvr loves doing extra work. They have tons of time and all their ideas never create issues or need to be tested.
Even tho BT is in the game for years and they are probably comfortable with how it works.
But sure, believe that they will do crazy base kit changes like that because of 1 perk. And they are usually very quick at responding to problems

If it was other kind of thing, I would agree with you. But add a new buff to the game that it is already done?...
- Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V to copy the current "EnduranceBuff" effect.
- Change the name of the copied "EnduranceBuff" to "TunnelProtectionBuff".
- Change the line of code that applies "EnduranceBuff" on unhook so it applies "TunnelProtectionBuff".
- Make changes to "EnduranceBuff".
- Build it and put it in a PTB (for more than a week if possible) to see how the changes affect the game.
- If it will go live, make a new icon, change it and put the update in the live servers.
Yeah, a lot of "extra work", indeed. If it is any harder than that, they should seriously start refactoring their code.
