Cooldown for "I'm All Ears"

Ghostface's perk "I'm All Ears" is nice and all, but a bit useless because of the cooldown of 60/50/40 on it, I feel like it should be half of that. 30/25/20 (so basically, the same cooldown as Quick & Quiet)

    That would be nice for killer. It's very often happens, that injured survivors trigger this perk, when vaulting window or pallet, get hit, and reveal aura of slug. Or sometimes survivor jump fast into a locker, perk triggers, but I see aura of survivor, when I grab him from locker. The point is, that sometimes I'm All Ears giving you a useless information. But it's potentially very strong perk.

    Yeah, it's a strong perk but as you said, it often activates as you down the survivor and then you're screwed for a minute (but I guess same could be said of exhaustion perks, getting downed as you activate something, but then your cooldown is spent while you're on the ground/hooked, so it's not as impactful)

    Bumping just because that perk is underwhelming with that 60/50/40 cooldown. 30/25/20 please.

    Agreed, so many killer perks have crazy long cd's for no reason even when the effect is mediocre.

    Why again does Blood Echo have a cd? Or even Surge to an extent. Killers should be rewarded for completing their goal quickly in succession, not punished.

    And you have perks like Infectious Fright that don't have one. For consistency's sake, please adjust the cooldowns to make the perks viable!

    just reduced cooldown to 40/35/30 and it'd be good enough for me. It's boring to use perks that has function to detect survivors around gens for all the time. I want to catch survivor somewhere else too.

    Maybe instead of lowering its cooldown, they could just make the cooldown reset instantly after downing someone. That way if you down someone right as they were vaulting a window/rushing into a locker and triggering IAE, it wouldn't just go to waste. It's an extremely powerful perk, if they lower its cooldown, it will be way too powerful. Its literally the mindgame ending perk, you can't lose the mindgame when you have wallhacks.

    I would put I'm all ears as one of the top 10 strongest perks in the game for killers, i don't see how anyone could think its underwhelming.

    Yeah but 60/50/40 really is way too long.

    I do agree a reset if you down someone or something could work too. I rather have the Quick & Quiet cooldown though (30/25/20)

    Yeah :/ Requiring generators to be done or hooking people to track survivors is a bit boring when it's all tracking perks ever do.
