Rework idea for Genetic Limits

genetic limits is generically considered a dumb stupid perk, because it is. it's a slightly different take on septic touch, which is also awful as there's much better exhaustion perks (such as mindbreaker) or most of the times, add-ons.
i would rework it entirely, just because i feel like my boy hux deserves better perks (machine learning is cool but most always useless and forced hesitation is effective but debatable in its design).
instead of inflicting 32 seconds of exhausted on survivors upon finishing a healing action, my version of genetic limits would make it so survivors have to work against their genetic limits and improve themselves when it comes to all actions: they all start the match with a 30% speed debuff to all actions and only get rid of it after hitting 4 great skillchecks. then, each time they're hooked, if they did get rid of the debuff, they get back a 15% debuff that only takes 2 great skillchecks to get rid of. the killer can keep track of how many survivors are debuffed by looking at the perk tokens (4 tokens means everyone is debuffed). this would provide some help in the early game, especially to set-up killers, but it would also be decently counterable by even just average survivors who can hit skillchecks.
