    I dunno, I've been running dead hard as my only exhaustion perk, and it still feels reasonably powerful. What's nice about it is because EVERYONE isn't running it, you can actually genuinely catch the killer off guard, instead of having this awkward wait every time where the killer is trying to bait it out.

    This equates to at least 1 free health state in chase, or 2 if you use it correctly, which certainly shouldn't be scoffed at, and you can get it reliably unless you are literally left by your team to die on hook.

    The one thing I would like, is if I use Dead Hard and the killer whiffs their attack through bad aim/timing or intentionally, sure give me the exhausted effect, but don't deactivate the perk until I take a hit.... chances are I'm probably gonna lose it anyway from being hooked, but if I DO escape and rebuild my exhaustion, it'd be nice to still have it.

    My only thing with the new dead hard if you mistime it but still get away you lose it till you get hooked again which I find very stupid

    that is counter-play though. if you know someone has dh, you can purposely swing and miss to make them waste it.

    You still have the counter play, cause they get exhausted, and can't DH again.

    As I say, you're probably not gonna get it back anyway cause you're likely gonna be downed and hooked after its been baited out, but just flat losing the perk when the killer literally just missed is a little harsh.

    one day they might revert nerf to dh to be normal exhaustion again, but it might best perk again. so not sure. i don't mind playing vs dh. its more that facing 4 dh and only dh is kinda boring as killer. low perk variety.

    If anything it should be nerfed, still a literal free health state vs most m2s

    Just to be clear, you do know exactly what I'm suggesting? I'm most certainly not advocating for old DH to come back 😅

    • Keep DH with the unhook requirement (so you only get 2 blocks a game)
    • Keep the trigger of exhaustion (as ot does already)
    • Only deactivate the perk when it blocks a hit (it currently deactivates, even if the Killer misses).

    Ofc this does have the effect if the Killer does bait it out, that's a guaranteed tunnel to make sure you go down without getting DH back... but that's a reasonable trade off no? 😁

    I don't care that it's once a book as it gives you a free health state but I just want the dang thing to actually work when I press the button. It's 50/50 when it decides to work or not.

    You will not able to see Dead Hard good again, because of the bad killers who can't even bait DH crying all the time while they are using the whole overpowered stuff
