Perks change let's talk togheter
Hi people of the fog ,i'm one of you , i like dbd and i want to contribuite to community with my ideas ,today i want to concentrate to perk that are little used, since early 2018 when I downloaded the game I played both killer and survivor sides, playing with friends and comparing with them we thought how to modify(buff or rework) some little used perks to make them more attractive.
Being more qualified as survivor today I will only tell you about the perks related to them
I recognize that many killer perks would need buffs but I leave that argument to those who are certainly more competent than me
I do not leave the explanation of the changes otherwise the posty would be too long, if you have any doubtful,questions or suggestive feelings free to ask

Any Means Necessary - Do you mean ANY pallet you throw down? Am i the only one that think on this perk it would be too good?
Boil Over - How exactly would you control it?
Camarederie - tbh i feel like this would be way weaker than its current version. It should have/either have a) work with bigger range b) work with killer instead of a survivor (after some delay obviously so it doesnt activate as soon as killer hooks you)
No Mither - "Grunts of Pain caused by injuries are reduced by 50/75/100 % at any time." This shouldn't be at any times if it gets buffed to 100%. It should be 100% in injured and 50% in dying state.
Open Handed - I dislike this because, if played as SWF or cordinated solos (somehow), would remove almost most of the aura reading perks.
Slippery Meat - I think that most of the times it would cause you harm (if used with diffrent exhaustion perks) or do nothing at all. (unless it ignores exhaustion?)
Small Game - Don't think that's the buff it needs.
And Vigil - would still be kinda useless.... Mostly because most effects are pernament till x condition was met. It would help a bit buuuut yeah.
(if i didn't mention a perk that means i'm neutral or happy with your idea!)

Any Means Necessary : yes every pallet,many time is a perk that you never use in a match because every pallet is been destroyed,so i add another primary effect that is not reallly impactful if you think many killer just avoid the stun or if they take it they have enduring.
the stun time would be 2.4(normaly without enduring is 2),and 1.2 with enduring (normaly with enduring is 1).
edit: i make the wrong math ! maybe a 0/5/10% would be better , 2.2 without enduring and 1.1 with enduring
Boil Over: i play on console, maybe with the analog stick, i don't know with keyboard
Cameraderie: when a killer camp, the strongest thing that your team can do (to punish the killer) is genrush and not stay near to you wasting time, i reduced the time because if not it coud be abused by just rush and unhook at last moment
No Mither : i was meaning this, i wrote wrong , you right
Open Handed : 8m is very short, maybe 6m, the strongest combination i can think is with OoO, for killers perks like nurse calling,B&chili ecc.. they all work in long distance, so i don't know how it coud affect killers perks( i don't mind anyone)
Slippery Meat : i think if it ignore exhaustion it will be too strong ,the purpose of the perk is to escape fast you can from the killer so you can recharge other exhaustion perk like balance/sprint ecc...
Small Game: true anti totems perk ( i think one perk of this type lack in the game)
Vigil: still cumulate with teammate so i coudn't make too strong

I'm just going to be the first to say. Survivors need a lot of nerfs right now, not buffs to their weaker / less used perks.

ofcourse survivor need a nerf, the purpose of this topic is to revaluete some perk little used in the game

Any Means Necessary: yes,every pallet. many time you can't raise up any pallet because they have been all destroyed so i add another primary effect, if you think many killer just avoid the stun or take it because they have enduring is not a great deal
edit: math wrong !i wrote 20% but in my head i think to 10% so without enduring 2,2 seconds from 2 and with enduring 1.1 seconds form 1
Boil Over: i play on console, so maybe with analog stick, i don't know on keyboard
Camarederie: when a killer camp the strongest thing your team can do is rush gen and no wasting time near to you. i reduced the time because if not it coud be abused by rush and just save you at the last moment
No Mither: yes, you right
Open Handed: 8 m is a very short range, maybe 6m ... the strongest combination i can think is with OoO, killer perks like nurse calling , B&chili ecc.... they all work in long distance,
Slippery Meat : nono it has exhaustion if not it would be too strong imho , the purpose of the perk is to escape fast that you can from the killer and after that recharge other exhaustion perks like dead hard/balance
Small Game: true anti-totems-perk, i think it's a perk that lacks in the game
Vigil: it still can be cumulate with your team so i coudn't make it too strong

I quite like:
Distortion:
Your aura when read appears as a(n) 8/12/16 sphere centered within 6/10/14 meters of your character. Your character model does not appear in auras.

very complicated 😅

is it? Code-wise, it's probably easier to implement* than some other perks, and it makes more sense imo than a token-based system.
* add a sphere, tell the game to show that instead of the character model, and tell the sphere to appear randomly within X meters of the survivor. It could even be 2D but rotate to face the killer like the bubbles in-game.
