What do you think is better, discordance or whispers?

Depends on the killer. Someone like Billy or Legion would probably prefer Discordance a lot more but someone like Trapper might like Whispers more.

If you know how to use it, Whispers is better. It is pretty hard to pinpoint survivors with it but the greatest value is that you don't waste time searching survivors where there are none. Pinpointing them is especially difficult because there can be one to the left and one to the right and you think one is in front of you. Biggest problem with this perk is when you try to find survivors because you think you HAVE to find them because of Whispers, which would waste time instead of saving you time. It gets better with less survivors in play, especially when 1v1 during hatch play or when trying to open the gates, it gives you a big advantage (or when the last 2 refuse to finish any more gens)

Discordance is much easier to use but can also be completely useless for an entire match. The scene you desribed above can also be dangerous. I also messed up games because I did not hook just to pressure a gen, wasting time, losing hooks and the gen got done anyway. If you get afraid of making mistakes, like "you have to find that survivor triggering whispers", the perk can distract you.

I think Whispers is superior because it will always have value while Discordance is way easier to use and just CAN have more value, depending on the team you play against.

BTW when you end chases or refuse to hook because of Discordance, it is a pretty good way to tell the survivors that you have Discordance. So they might to adapt after that and deny you the value of the perk. Needs good survivors though :P

I tend to use Discordance more but I'll run Whispers on certain Killers like Spirit. Whispers is probably better unless you like to use Ruin or another stall perk then I'd suggestion Discordance.

I prefer Discordance. Whispers sometimes it baits me to just overlook some corners because the perk is up which makes me lose some time.

Whispers is great in some situations althought, like lategame.

Also Whispers works always, discordance will never come in place against good survivors bc of split genning

From what I've seen, whispers only comes into play at the very start, and the very end when there's 1 survivor left and you're hunting for the hatch or bouncing back and forth between doors.

I'd rather have discordance - it's a huge indicator of where you need to apply pressure, and if you're running pop, it's basically a big KICK ME!! sign.

They do drastically different things.

Whispers shines very early in the trial and very late in the trial but doesn't do as much in the middle. It's also more map dependent. It helps you find a survivor quickly and start the ball rolling and then helps you Secure your 4k due to the powerful 1v1 potential it has. It can also help with figuring out which corners are dead areas you'd be wasting your time in.

Discordance shines early and in the middle of the trial, but fizzles late when there are less survivors. It can also be very easy to figure out if a killer is running it and you can change your gameplay accordingly. It gives you information so you can wisely allot your time to a specific area and can tip you off whether camping this hooked survivor is the wisest play or not.

I personally use Whispers more, but that's because I tend to have solid momentum building but lack in starting that momentum.

Discordance for early game

Whispers for end game.

Love whispers for the ‘hide n seek’ players.

It counters Blendettes hiding in a bush.

Personally I prefer Discordance. With some game experience you can guess when survivors are in the vicinity most of the time, so Whispers becomes a bit redundant. Discordance on the other hand helps with applying pressure where it's most needed, and that makes it extremely useful.

Whispers is a guaranteed win on last survivor engame collapse

Discordance easy, overall. But in EGC whispers is super good while Discordance is useless.

I would give it to Whispers because it can't be countered.

Discordance normally will be better to counter gen rushing, but if you ever get that group of survivors that does more hiding than progressing the game, whispers will be the MVP. It helps you find the scummy guys who hide all game.

They're both good at different points in the game. Whispers is good in the very beginning of the match to triangulate the closest survivor before they can really start doing gens and at the end of the match when there are only one or two survivors and they may be hiding or looking for a key or the hatch. It's less useful mid-game when you're normally in a chase or by a hook or downed survivor most of the time.

Discordance on the other hand isn't that great at the very start of the match because it takes a bit for people to get on gens and there may or may not be two people on the same gen at the start. It's also bad at the end once a survivor or two are dead because they're less likely to pair up at that point or may not even be doing gens at all. But mid-game when all four survivors are alive it's very useful to get you to a spot where the survivors are clumped together.

So I don't honestly know which is better overall, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. And, honestly, if we're talking about detection perks Surveillance deserves a mention too, it's right up there in terms of usefulness, especially if you either use Ruin or just generally kick a lot of gens.
