Killers

BBQ- so easily counterable

Pop- not even the best gen regression perk and u get it by doing your objection

Corrupt- just a mild inconvenience

STBFL- um no

Ruin/Undying- Bring a map and cleanse totems, or focus on gens(totem perks and gen perks can help)


Survivor

Borrowed Time- I dont find this to be crutch. Once you know somebody has it just go for the unhooker(except for EGC then ur screwed)

Adrenaline- only activates one and whether its useful or not is random.

Sprint Burst- While this perk is very good, I dont consider it a crutch. Sure it's great and will help u in unsafe areas but I dont think it carries games.

Unbreakable (without ds)- it's fine. Counters slugging

Quick and quiet(yes I've heard ppl complain)- um no

    Anything people don’t like they’re gonna call it crutches.

    I haven't seen anyone complain about QAQ as vocally as the 4 meta perks of the apocalypse.

    Sounds BS to me really

    The real only perks I think are "crutch's" are Ds+Ub. Dead hard is also very annoying under certain conditions.

    This. Actual crutches are perks like Unrelenting - something that's very useful for new players, but once you get better it's actively bad for you to run since other perks will help you more. If something is useful (like BBQ or DS) at all levels of play, then it cannot be a crutch.

    BBQ: I've never understood this one. The only crutch thing about this is that you get more blood points. ######### people.

    Pop: It's honestly a garbage perk nowadays, but how is it a crutch if it rewards you for doing well? What in the hell?

    Corrupt: This isn't a crutch, it's just something you need as a Killer to make up for a natural weakness. The difference is that a crutch makes up for lack of skill, and Corrupt makes up for lack of strength.

    STBFL: What in the figity fawk? Whoever says this is a crutch is a moron.

    Ruin/Undying: Again, this rewards you for doing well. How is this a crutch?

    Borrowed Time: It's not a crutch most of the time (it's simply BS), but if you unhook in the Killer's face like an idiot, the Killer has every right to punish that mistake, but woop de doo! BT saves the day.

    Adrenaline: ...what?

    Sprint Burst: People probably call it a crutch because you don't good awareness or planning if you are working on a gen with this active. For good players, this is just a really f-ing good utility. On bad players, yeah, it's a crutch.

    Unbreakable: Not really a crutch, but it's complete BS (it's an anti-momentum perk. Those should never exist except for maybe endgame perks).

    Quick And Quiet: -_- I beggeth thy pardon?
