List what perks you want to be reworked?

Diversion now how has gains despite being inside a chase.

Solidarity: Upon healing another survivor solidarity stacks up charges at a half rate (16 charges to fill up or 2 full heals). Whenever you're injured, you are afflicted by the broken status effect. If solidarity is active, you're injured and not in chase It will drain one charge per second and heal to to the healthy state after 16 charges.

Ooh, that's interesting! As someone who has been using Solidarity a lot regularly, it'd be an interesting change to see. For now, I'd like to bot get screwed over from co-op healing :(

Survivor: No Mither, Sole Survivor, Up The Ante, Pharmacy, Wake Up!, Vigil, Boil Over, Distortion, Poised (minor), Buckle Up, Babysitter, Camaraderie, Second Wind (minor), Lightweight

Killer: Predator, Bloodhound, Shadowborn, Stridor (minor), Beast of Prey, Furtive Chase, Mindbreaker, Cruel Limits, Gearhead (minor), Hex: Blood Favor, Coup de Grace, Monstrous Shrine

Except for the ones I listed as minor, which really just need numbers or usage tweaks, these perks range from barely useful to watered down versions of better perks to downright useless. Steve, Quentin, and Wraith in particular are disappointing because they have some of the weakest Teachables in the game all in one character.

Object of obsession - While in a chase with the killer, you're aura is shown to all survivors. When escaping the chase from the killer, the survivors see the killers aura for 3/4/5 seconds.

Overwhelming Presence

This perk is way too situational to be useful, and even when you can get it to proc, it doesn't do all that much.

It'd be cool to have a different type of anti-item perk, but it'd have to be made much stronger to compete with Franklin's Demise.

Sole Survivor and Fire Up. I have plenty more but here’s just a taste:

Fire Up

The increased pressure of losing your prey fills you with unsuspecting motivation.

Every time a generator is fully repaired, Fire Up activates for 60/70/80 seconds. While Fire Up is active:

• Gain a stackable bonus of 20% to picking up and dropping Survivors, breaking pallets and breakable walls, damaging generators, vaulting, successful and missed basic attack cooldowns, and searching lockers.

When the exit gates are powered, Fire Up is active indefinitely.

Sole Survivor

As more of your friends fall to the Killer, you become shrouded in isolation.

Each time an ally gets hooked, the range in which the Killer can see your aura is reduced by 6/7/8 meters.

Receive a notification when the Killer is attempting to read your aura.

To be honest, almost all perks except some 15 perks, needs to be changed to be in pair with the meta.

They're too weak and devs are afraid to change to drastic number. They PTB for nothing I guess? They could release perks change every week in the PTB to see the outcome and release it to live servers.

Yeah I thought solidarity could be more useful if you could save the heal at the cost of being the only way to heal from the injured state.

Suggested changes:

Monstrous Shrine:

Buff the perk to - Survivors have 3 less escape attempts, and sacrifice progresses 25% faster when hooked in the basement.

Explanation - 25% of 2 mins is 30 seconds, or subtracting 15 seconds from each hook phase, adding in the fact that unless the survivors bring in Slippery Meat, they'll have to be rescued by their teammates... This makes being hooked in the basement a much more dire situation than current Monstrous Shrine. Sometime after Hag came out the devs doubled the hook time from 1 min to 2 meaning survivors used to only have 30 seconds per hook phase, And current monstrous Shrine was designed with these the old timings in mind. This suggestion is a sort of middle ground between how hooking used to be in the early days of the game, and how it is now, while only applying to the basement hooks, and finally updates Monstrous Shrine for the current 2 minute sacrifice timing.

Spies From the Shadows:

Overhaul the perk to - The Crows no longer respond to your presence, you see the auras of all crows within 36 meters of you, and disturbed crows are 100% louder to you within that range.

Explanation - This proposal gets rid of the confusing/annoying explosion sound notifications and replaces it by making the crows noisier so you can differentiate between them and a gen popping, you get no false signals since crows no longer respond to you, and they basically become little signal flares to tell you where survivors are. If this change were to happen, Spies would become an overall better tracking tool, and really fit the description of the perk which says: "The Crows found in the world can communicate directly with you." Besides, survivors still have 2 perks that defeat this: Calm Spirit, Urban Evasion, so it's not like this would be an un-counterable or broken change for the perk. If they also put some more crows in dead zones, that would be nice for helping this perk gain a better level of consistency and usefulness (Seriously, Rotten fields features no Scarecrows, but the crows completely avoid the corn field... #########?).

Surge:

Remove the cooldown and the Basic Attack requirement.

Explanation - Honestly this has been hotly debated in the forums since Surge came out because the fact remains that in order to activate Surge at all, you have to successfully down a survivor while within range of a gen that has progress on it. Chasing and downing a survivor takes enough time as it is, and the minor 8% damage Surge does if it activates is hardly consequential since it would take 12 survivor downs in order to achieve a stacked 96% damage to 1 or more gens. PGTW does 300% damage to gens in the same amount of hooks, and Ruin Does more damage per second without needing to down or hook a survivor. While this won't improve the overall damage Surge can do, removing the basic attack requirement will at least allow killers with damaging powers to get some use out of it, and removing the cooldown will allow it to become a slightly more consistent annoyance to survivors. It won't make it any more broken than any other existing gen defense perks, but at least it would be more useful.

Oppression:

Remove or significantly lower the cooldown.

Explanation - This perk doesn't even add extra damage to the gens it affects (unless survivors fail the "Difficult" skillcheck), only applies the base regression rate, and can randomly target gens that have 0 progress on them, but for some awful reason the devs decided that it was so powerful that it deserved DOUBLE the cooldown time (80 seconds) of Surge? At least Surge won't activate on gens that have 0 progress... Why does Oppression deserve such an excessive cooldown time? If it's because of the skillcheck, that's a laughable annoyance more than anything that could be considered a threat.

Fire Up:

Buff the perk- Increase it from 4% to 5%.

Explanation - This is a ridiculously underpowered perk because in order to gain any benefit from it, the killer has to sacrifice the objectives they are supposed to protect, in other words "lose the game". It's designed to give killers a slight edge in chases and hooking in order to try and protect the last gens from completing. The overall problem however is that 4% amounts to 12% when 3 gens are completed, and 20% when all 5 are done, meaning that they gain Brutal Strengths advantage on pallet breaking only after the survivors have completed all of the gens, and Bamboozles vault speed advantage when there is only 1 gen remaining. This doesn't help the killers in their desperate attempts to stop the final gens from completion, and by the time it's reached its maximum potential, the survivors are all rushing out the gate. However, if you bump it up just 1%... now we have a perk that gains Bamboozles advantage at 2 gens remaining, and Brutal Strengths at 1 gen remaining, with an added bonus to both if 0 gens remain. This would actually help the killers defend the final gens, and give them enough of a chase advantage if all gens are completed to try and stop the survivors from escaping. Suddenly this goes from an "underpowered" perk to a "Decent" one, and all it takes is a simple 1% boost in strength.

Insidious:

Overhaul the perk to - Reduces your Terror Radius and Red Stains Brightness by 5% for every 4/3/2 seconds you refrain from chasing or injuring survivors, upon reaching 100% reduction, you gain the Undetectable Status. Initiating a chase or injuring a survivor regains your TR and Red stain at a rate of 20% per second, once this has returned Insidious has a 40 second cooldown.

This perk has been a bane on the game since it came out since it seems to have been specifically designed for the sole purpose of camping hooks. With this change however, a killer gains half their TR for spending 10 seconds away from a chase or injuring a survivor, and becomes Undetectable at 20 seconds. This is mostly meant for anti stealth play, or for gaining a slight advantage in the early game wherein the killer is initially searching the map for survivors. Ultimately, it changes the perk from one encouraging camping, to one that rewards the killer with an advantage if the survivors are being too sneaky, and allows them to get the drop on survivors more often. The cooldown is necessary for this one because otherwise it could be abuseable. Aura reading perks such as OoO still see the killer just fine unless they obtain the Undetectable status, and Premonition or Spine chill still procs on stealth killers, so relying solely on the TR reduction is still no guarantee against those kinds of perks.

I could write a whole list here, but the most important one is Undying. Most unfun perk to go against as survivor, and using it as killer makes the game way too easy.

Unbreakable: remove recovery speed and put it on no mother instead

undying: aura reading only activates if you are actively cleansing totem

knock out: remove basic attack requirement and change crawl speed to recover speed

surge: basic attack requirement removed

they are the main ones
