Machine Learning should be looked at

1 minute of 10% haste with undetectable is too much. If the duration is that long it needs to reduce the haste to 5%.

    I agree with crewman. The Perk isn't the best even though 60sec of 10% haste and Undetectable is really strong. The Perk is really hard to activate because you have to kick two generators but there are a few problems: survivors have to do the right generator with ML but sometimes they just forget about the generator or do another one first. Then not many killers can make use of them because they don't have the mobility to get it activated. Once ML is activated, you cannot apply it on a Generator. You have to wait until it's over and then kicking two generators and hoping for the best. During this time survivors can finish some generators. Lastly, you have to make really difficult and unreliable decisions like "do I kick this gen because they will finish this one or do I keep it on the current one and hope they do this one" or "Do I give up on the chase to kick the generator for ML? Is that the good play?". I used the perk a lot with different killers, a full build for it (Tinkerer, Deadlock, and either Corrupt or Discordance. Later Pop and Pain with Tinkerer) but only had a few matches where I had more than two times ML value but the teams were rather slow on gens. I even had one match where I only got it once and that on the last generator. Tbf, once it was activated it was good and sometimes strong, especially on some killers like Plague or Oni but it was so much work and investment that was not really wroth it in that way that other perks are just easier to use and more reliable.

    No, this perk doesn't need a nerf because it one of those perks that sounds powerful in theory but rather mediocre in praxis and why not use Pop, PainRes, GE, and Corrupt that will never disappoint you or force you to make difficult decisions.

    they buff perk twice and still nobody considers the perk. wait for a 3rd buff.

    On paper 10% Haste and Undetectable is strong but Machine Learning's proc condition is difficult to pull off.

    Also it is currently bugged and when another Survivor is dead and not spectating, the perk just wont consistently proc even if the Compromised Generator was the one completed… effectively making it a waste of a perk slot if someone gives up on hook early on.

    I tested it with a full gen kicking build and it's still very hard to activate. I think it's still a weak perk as is.
