5th perk syndrome

We all know that one perk, that one perk we would love to run but don't because other perks are just better.

These perks suffer from 5th perk syndrome. If I had 5 perks slots, I would run those perks, but I don't because I only have 4. The perk does not just have to be good at what it is doing, but also be better than any perk I am currently running.

Off the top of my head, both deathslinger's and PH's perks suffer from this syndrome greatly.

    I saw someone ask for a 5th perk slot experiment and it honestly made me want to see it happen. I'd love to see the chaos that came with it.

    Surge tends to come to mind as its not strong enough of a slowdown perk to be run alone.

    However I also want to have my normal slowdown + tracking + killer specific perk(s)(Such as Iron maiden on huntress or M&A on Michael) in my builds so its always ends up being cut for something more useful for that specific killer as shown above.

    Add a 6th slot too and see what happens, it'll probably be a very interesting experiment
