DELETED

@PhantomMask20763 I think they should remove the aura-reading.
I think rancor is the equivalent of NOED, that's a perk which rewards a poor gameplay.
I play on both sides, and I never use NOED. But it happened to me once to be able to get one kill (after having hooked them all), and unfortunately, I got the obsession who saved his DS until the end, so I ended up having no kills. In this case, I understand why a perk like Rancor was made.
But as a survivor. I never use DS. And when nobody in my team does, I am ALWAYS the obsession. Unlucky, you're going to say...
But it really pisses me off that a perk which has been created to counter DS is used on me. It ruins my game, because as OP said, all they do is wait for the gens to be completed, so I don't get any rescue or bold points and I finish the game having 6k.

Spine Chill > Rancor

I had a match earlier where I was the obsession. (I was running Self-Care, Urban Evasion, Spine Chill, and Technician.) Once I had enough progress on the gate the little bonus speed was enough to open the gate and deny them their free kill. I have since then swapped Technician for Wake Up and am eager to test the further potential of this phenomenon.

If you get genrushed => bad player?
Your logic is flawed, billy main.

What killers do you use. And do you have proof of being a rank one killer 

Why are you complaining about Rancor again? It's too OP? That's just laughable. Rancor does 2 things and only 2 things. Rancor Exposes the Obsession AFTER the generators have all been repaired and it grants the ability to the kill the obsession. So, Rancor lets you down and kill one out of the four survivors at the end of the game. There's nothing wrong with this, and here's why.

1.) Being exposed doesn't "expose" you necessarily.
I get it, going down in one hit sucks, however, they can't hit you if they can't find you.

2.) Secondly, 1 survivor is 1 survivor.
Look, there are 4 survivors in a normal trial, if the killer gets to kill off one of you for free that's okay. You are the minority. You are 25% of the team, you are expendable.

3.) Rancor has two clear counters: Stealth & GTFO.
The killer can punish you severely if they catch you, so don't get caught. Just take it slow in stealth or Blitzkrieg rush the gates with allies as shields.

4.) Rancor comes into effect at the end game. This means that it cannot be combined with Dying Light and is risky at best with Remember Me. This forces Rancor to be used as a last-chance perk, kind of like Decisive Strike! Rancor will only come into play if the killer hasn't killed off the obsession, sort of like how Decisive Strike can only be used once you are picked up.

Overall it's a situational perk that has potential but lacks potency unless you are an arrogant fool.

Sorry @DaedraLord , I think you're absolutely wrong there. HIDE, when exit gates are powered. Killer has very limited tools to find a specific survivor. There's Bitter Murmur of course, but unless you're very unlucky, you'll have an easy time hiding if you just stay away from exit gates. That's why I find Rancor the weakest of the three new killer perks.

Getting randomly screwed over at the end of the game is a lame feeling. Previous obsession perks encouraged the killer to interact with the targeted survivor, but it was the killer's choice of how to play that determined what the experience would be like. The killer was free to tunnel you if they were running Dying Light, but it wasn't any easier for them to kill you. Conversely, if they were running Fire Up or STBFL there was an incentive not to kill you. If the player was punished for being the obsession, it wasn't because of the game itself. On the contrary the game gave the obsessed survivor bonuses when being the Obsession encouraged the killer to kill you faster (Remember Me, Dying Light).

This is the first perk to directly punish you for being the obsession. I would say it'd be better if the perk didn't make the killer have an obsession, so that it only punished those survivors who ran obsession perks i.e it punishes people who run DS. Then, at least, the obsessed survivor brought the pain on themselves and it makes sense to say they need to accept that making themselves the obsession has consequences.
he problem with that is the killer could nevertheless just run any other killer obsession perk and then the arbitrary 'lol get ****ed' element is still there even if there's some kind of tradeoff in limiting a killer's perk options. It's a problematic perk.

So first off, @mcNuggets @Dabrownman1812 I've never said a such thing. I'm just going to say what Tru3 once said and that I find very interesting: "If you use NOED on one killer, you're never going to really learn how to play him, because you'll only rely on NOED to get your kills.
Also, maybe I'm Billy main, but I also enjoy playing Piggy a lot (she's my bae), Hag, Doc & Freddy. And yes, sometimes I have bad games where survivors gen rush me, but it's not for that reason that I'm going to run NOED. I used to use it, and I realized that I gave all I had when I wasn't using it.
@michaelmyers87 I'm rank 4 as a killer

That's a stupid quote then.
I like tru3, but that's stupid.

You can rely on NOED on rank 10+ but not below.
You have to play strategically.
