Is Head On too Abusable?
Many perks have been getting changed and updated but i haven't seen much change with Head On, which has been annoying since I've been having many games where survivors will straight up hold a match hostage by bringing nothing but head on and will all run within a certain area. Causing you to have to run by the lockers to eat another stun. And if you try to bait it, you have to deal with the second issue which is the stun lasting far longer than the animation time, even after the animation is over if you walk towards the locker you will still take the stun. giving the survivors more than enough time to run away making head on basically a auto escape perk since its either get stunned or wait out the oddly long duration that far surpasses the animation. I had a 25 minute match because 3 survivors would just enter lockers and use head on while one other would work on gens, if you rotated off to go for that one survivor they would just enter a locker and someone else would hop on a gen and repeat the process. Its a extremely annoying and unfun perk to be matched up against, especially when its being abused. Can this be tweaked or changed for it to be less abused?

The perk works as intended. Yes, some survivors will bully with it, you just need to be mindful of it. There's no holding hostage.

Or make the animation match the actual duration. Have them hop out, and then tack on an extra half-second of them doing the cabbage patch or something

some point last year i came across a bully head on squad on hawkins, they had no intention of doing gens. i spend some time trying to play around it and mind game it but in the end i thought to myself "why am i entertaining them? they are not doing gens…." so i ignored them and waited by the closest 3 gens away from lockers. figured 1 of 2 things would happen, either the bully squad stops and works on gens where i can catch them or they remain in lockers for 1 hour until server ends. it took them 30min of trying to get my attention before they dc lol

Are you complaining about Head On giving a Survivor distance if they successfully stun with it?
Head On is objectively the riskiest Exhaustion perk. It doesn't need a nerf.

The perk doesn’t need to be nerfed for normal uses. Excessive killer stunning and excessive killer blinding is what should be nerfed, since it’s well beyond normal gameplay.
As in, if a solo q survivor is using Head On, then that’s fine. But if a coordinated SWF is trying to see how many Head On stuns they can get in the same match, because they think it’s funny, then that is what needs to be nerfed.

Risky in certain situations, yes.
But what i am talking about with guaranteed distance is if they are somewhere like shack, and jump out of a locker they are guaranteed window and a insane amount of distance, because you either take the stun, or, you wait it out, but if you wait it out even after the animation is over you might still be stunned just for walking in the direction of the locker because of the delayed stun time. Making it a lose lose situation for the killer if they get the stun or not. Making any locker by a vault location a lose lose. I don't think Head On is a insanely op perk, i think its a perk that needs fixed and tweaked so it cant be abused like survivors have been doing in recent matches.-4 -

Basically every Exhaustion perk serves to provide guaranteed distance.
Head On is one of the few that don't. If you wait it out properly, then they can't make window from Shack locker.

It might be annoying? Yes. It does deserve a nerf? No.
Even when I'm against bully squads i don't feel any opressed by head on. The perk is fine.

Its only usefull by multiple survivors only whent its swf because one survivor can hardly bully the killer with it same with flash bangs or sabbo.

Good strategy other is to take them out one by one with tunneling and some slugging if you dont want them have all the joy from stunning you and blinding you its simple minded solution fight fire with fire (toxic vs toxic) and no need to take their complains seriusly because they will complain either way or be toxic.

Here we go again someone complaining about Head-On. Once a years someone has to bring this up. If anything Head-On needs buffs.
