The No Quarter perk is fine alone but will cause issues

I have no problem with the no quarter perk as is. But here’s the problem. Killers are gonna run that perk with a full anti healing build. Running it with Coulorophobia, unnerving presence, sloppy butcher, or especially nurses calling. Thats giving every single killer the power to keep all survivors a one shot through the entire match without the ability to heal. We all know there are killers its not smart to heal against because of their power like Legion. And there are killers who do have one shot abilities like Billy and even Myers with his tier 3 add on. However this perk is going to be used to keep people a one shot and it will work on every single killer. Think how oppressive this will make Doctor as only one example.

The only way to even remotely try to fix this is IF the perk stays as is, is to lower the cooldown on the broken status for survivors who miss the merciless skillchecks. If the perk changes then I’d say this affect needs a cooldown added once it’s already affected the survivor once. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised to see hook give ups and DCs increase once it’s obvious killers are running anti healing builds with this perk.

    That doesn’t matter tho. The time that survivors will spend trying to heal with these builds will keep them off gens and if they try to use the legion play of just not healing, the killer can just patrol gens to one shot them. Since we all know slugging is the new meta that’s an easy 4 man slug for the ones who are trying to do gens. SWF may be able to counter with communication but solo Q will get devastated as per usual. Either way these builds are going to be nearly impossible for survivors to do anything against and that’s especially if they run nurses calling with it. Again this will work for ALL killers not just specific ones with specific powers. We all know all it takes is for streamers to announce and run these builds on social media for everyone to do it. Thats when the hook give ups and DCs start as soon as survivors get wind of this being the build with this perk. Just like weave franklins when it first hit.

    I hate when YouTubers and streamers show unfun builds becsuse it spreads like wildfire. Otz new singularity vid hasent even been out for a day and I already encountered it. Slugged at 4 gens with knock out infectious fright and blind addon. Maybe this perk will be used in future slugging builds

    Eh, it’s mid by itself, and adding in the self-heal condition, you can avoid it completely.

    You’re literally making my point for me. I said by itself it’s fine. The problem is the way it’s going to synergize with other anti healing builds (which is exactly how it’s going to be run) and end up destroying solo Q. I said, SWF will be able to play around it by communicating and healing each other only. But even then if the killer chooses to run nurses calling then that’s still going to be a struggle with a coordinated SWF. This perk is going to synergize to completely devastate solo Q with no way to counter it and that’s going to lead to more DCs and giving up on hook and we all know how bad that already is.

    I mean if the killer has Coulro, Unnerving, and Sloppy it's gonna be nearly impossible to heal in the terror radius anyway, No Quarter doesn't change much at that point. Either way, they're devoting at least 75% of their build to get that.

    The only killer who can realistically make No Quarter worth using by itself is Doctor and even then it can be avoided through altruistic healing.
