First off, the cool down is too long. Killers do not understand how long the cool down is and get impatient.

Second, when it rolls a 1 and fails, it needs something better than the scream. No one else realizes the scream means an attempted lute session failed. Have the character bring out the lute and a string snaps. And the cool down on a failure should be shorter than the cool down for a success.

This is a fun, meme-y perk. These aspects hurt that. I can't help that a lot of players don't understand the perks the opposing side uses, I have no control over that. But I've gone to streams wondering about a killer's strange behavior in a match and heard, "Play me another one!" "Why didn't you play me a song?" Streams. Plural. It's not an isolated incident.

If this perk had no purpose other than the lute, I would still run it. The cool down really hurts it, though. And if you're going to tell me the point of the perk isn't to see a killer headbang and do fancy footwork or a Mikey moonwalk, then that just means this game is a big bag of "No Fun Allowed."
