Body blocking perk idea for killers
Wicked Pursuit
“Your focus is unstoppable, and interference only seals their fate.”
•Effect:
If you are in a chase with an injured survivor and another survivor takes a protection hit within 8 meters, the healthy survivor becomes Exposed for 10/12/14 seconds.Cooldown: 40 seconds.
Purpose:
This perk makes taking a body block protection hit very risky. Survivors will think twice before interfering with your chase because they’ll be vulnerable to a one-hit down.

Who is the healthy survivor here? The one who was hit I take it? Why does it matter if they become exposed while injured?

If I understood correctly - would the expose matter for the survivor taking the hit? They will be injured anyways?

so basically it would work like if it was more or devour you hit them since they tried taking a hit their already exposed and put into the dying state

So, basically this is just a free down for being back at the unhook. Since you're counted as being in chase with both survivors the instant their feet touch the ground off hook.
This is a terrible idea to giga buff camping. No.

There's a couple of problems with this. More to do to 'fun' and 'feel' than balance.
1: Just having an uncounterable perk in the game that removes an element of gameplay is a bad idea. Protection hits are something survivors are meant to be able to do. If this was a hex perk or it had some kind of other condition, maybe, but it doesn't seem strong enough to be a hex perk.
Lightborn is the only thing I can think of on a similar level, and that is meant to be a counter the killer can take if he sees multiple flashlights.
2: The protection hit system is not the most accurate thing in the world. Survivors could get downed when they weren't really protecting, and the killer could lose downs because it didn't register.
You could have more perks to punish protection hits than exist. Being broken for a period of time, a gen repair penalty, etc. are all possibilities, but a straight down I don't think works.
