Adrenaline is worse than DS

In my opinion, getting hit with adrenaline is worse than ds. Its just a big slap in the sack if I'm being honest.

    adrenaline is worse if most of your teammates spend more time hiding, on or around the hook than doing generators.

    So a survivor should make it easy to catch them at end game? Like it's a good counter for No end. Honestly survivors feel way bout BBQ&Chili and nurses call but I have only seen them complain about NOED

    As killer, it does suck to be in the middle of a chase and the injured survivor suddenly gets a heal and Sprint Burst. Or a survivor is immediately healthy upon being unhooked. Adrenaline also encourages survivors to double down on gens and not heal. I know that's how I play when I run Adrenaline, just focus on the gen 'cause I'll get healed automatically.

    And to clarify something, NOED is the counter to Adrenaline. Adrenaline heals a survivor one health state and gives them a burst of speed. NOED makes the killer permanently faster and gives them an insta-down, negating Adrenaline's heal. NOED has to exist because Adrenaline exists.

    NOED is always a terrible choice as a killer because you never want to be getting to endgame in the first place.

    And with the amount of keys flying around these days you are not even guaranteed to have any endgame to play with anyways.

    Oh no, NOED isn't a good choice unless you're specifically running an end-game build, and if you want to make absolute sure you make it to the end game then you have to get each survivor on death hook while making sure no one dies. That's such a pain (I did it for Tome challenges).

    IMO Adrenaline is overrated and you dont see it that often anymore. Most of the time when I go against Survivors, those who have Adrenaline are Megs, but thats about it.

    When I used Adrenaline, there were indeed situations where it saved me, but most of the time I just get it in the middle of nowhere, not in chase, already healthy, which just gives me a Speedbost and Exhaustion, to block my other Exhaustion Perk.

    I will gladly give you my NOED on Tuesday for your adrenaline today.

    Play with randoms. Half the time I don't even get to use adrenaline since all 5 gens can't even get repaired. In red ranks ...

    But the survivor had to play the whole game with only three perks.......

    Seems like I heard that argument before.

    If I could only remember.....🤔

    It's way more balanced than DS, you actually have to earn it to activate It.

    Eating one Adrenaline without having NOED (which isn't even a good perk so why bother running it?) is objectively worse than eating a single DS since Adrenaline gives survivors an additional hitpoint and a greater distance they can cover before going down. It's one of the best survivor perks out there and fundamentally flawed, as the killer is supposed to become strong in the mid-late game, yet this perk allows a good team to completely negate the killer's advantage in the late game and deny him of any pressure he has built up. The matches you've won without benefiting from it are the ones you could've won perkless anyways and if you lose before getting Adrenaline to proc, you're an inexperienced SWF or in SoloQ.

    Sì, también la mayoría de la gente dice “Aregue DeadHard e Unbreakable y podemos decir que los cuatro son OP!” 🤪😄

    I might say fairest but not more balanced than DS. You don't need to earn it, if I am playing like a Claudette and go into full hiding all the match where my team mates died just to get the 5 gens done. Do I deserve the activation of adrenaline? No.

    Yes Definitely. Adrenaline is by far my least favorite Survivor perk to play against.

    I honestly very much enjoy how scrappy the game can get after all Gens are done, the killer has one on hook/down and the other 2-3 Survivors are trying to save them. Adrenaline has a tendency to completely and totally bypass that entire section of the game. The worst one I had was a game on Lerys as Pig. I got a down on Steve a fraction of a second before the last Generator got done. So instead of him being down and about to get hooked, he's instantly back in the injured state and running faster than me for 5 seconds while I'm still wiping my weapon.

    I'm just glad that people don't run it very often because it is very inconsistent.
