Rework Suggestions - Brutal Strength
Just a couple of ideas for reworking Brutal Strength, because it seems really lackluster.
A - Bringing it up in terms of power by bumping its breaking speeds to 30/40/50% instead of 10/15/20% that they are now. Makes it actually tempting to take and makes it dangerous to try to loop killers running it.
B - Keeping the speeds it has now but adding: 'Your view is no longer locked to the pallet you are breaking.'. Let's face it - honestly there isn't any logic reason the killer should have to look at their feet when kicking a pallet - they should be able to look forward menacingly and kick through the pallet. "But-But-But the camera change is so Survivors can run away and killers have to take a moment to look where they went" No. Just, no. You have enough second chances in the game; killers should not have an illogical reaction just so you get another chance to get away from them.
C - Similar to above, but instead add 'You can no longer be stunned by flashlights while breaking a pallet.'. Again, logic-based. If we are looking AT OUR FEET to break the pallet; then there is zero plausible reason a flashlight should be able to blind and stun us while we do so.
D - The overboard suggestion; combine A and B to make it a truly powerful perk to take.

A - too OP. Numbers should be raised, but not that high.
B - not bad idea. Interesting and simple concept.
C - makes less sense than B, so I would stick with the option above.
D - as long as numbers are not too high it's not a bad idea to combine those two options.

Thanks for the feedback - though I am surprised you think C is less logical than B. Killers look at their feet when breaking the pallet -- so how exactly is it logical they can be blinded by flashlights and stunned -- an item that only works by shining it into the killer's face. And if it is because "killers look forward on Survivor's screens and only look down on Killer's screen" then that just fuels the 'illogical' reasoning of making it so killer's can't see where Survivors run off to.
If anything I would think B would make it logical to be able to blind-stun killers with a flashlight during pallet breaking; or C would make it logical to be unable to do so.

I think C is more confusing as animation of pallet breaking would not change and killer has no ability to change the direction they are looking at.

If C was chosen, That's why I think they should change the animation with it then if it is really a problem on that front.

If Brutal Strength isnt supposed to be strong alone,then it is supposed to be strong in a breaking build.

I like option A. Super idea. Survivors would then think 100 times before squatting on a pallet or trying to dazzle with a flashlight.
The developers would have repaired the animation when the killer breaks the pallet from the 1st person so that it looks beautiful.

Brutal strength is in this weird spot where it's not good anymore (many reasons for this) but it slightly helps with action every killer uses during every game - kicking gens and pallets. People are using it so devs will not change it.
Idea to unlock killer cam during animation to some degree seems interesting, i really like it.
