Suggestion: Rework Iron Will into an active ability perk

Iron Will is a great perk on its own, but is near useless when the killer is running Stridor.

I personally hate the way these perks interact especially because of how strong it can make The Spirit's mind games.

------------

New Iron Will:

"Press the active ability button to hold your breathe. While Iron Will is active, your grunts of pain and breathing are silent for 3, 4, 5 seconds. Iron Will has a cooldown of 30/25/20 seconds."

------------

This balances the entire mind game situation imo. The Spirit would still be S tier regardless of this change. Survivors would just be able to actually have a way to skillfully answer her phase.

    Iron Will is fine.

    If they're running Stridor that sucks, but it shouldn't catch you off-guard since you can hear that you're still moaning, and you still end up reducing your moans by half, which isn't nothing.

    Didn't say it catches me off-guard when they have Stridor, just saying it sucks and removes stealth play and mind games on the survivor side. Like you said, you can hear your grunts of pain. The reduction of sound is near negligible though tbh. Any high rank killer can track those sound queues.

    If Stridor Spirit wasn't a thing, Iron Will would be fine. I think Stridor Spirit is personally the most unbalanced thing in the game.
