Can we have a serious talk about dead hard for a minute?

No dude, keep the bloodlust, if there was no bloodlust, then I really wouldn't be winning games against god-tier loopers on double t-walls, it'd just be an infinite for me, I don't get how bloodlust is unfair, it's just there to help shorten chases if it goes on for too long.

I'm not really in a mood to have a long talk about anybody's dead hard

the only issue i have with the perk is when you swing and see clearly goes through the survivors body but because they just managed to activate it in time they are pretty much inviable.

As a wise man once said, Dead Hard is a single player game perk that got put in a multiplayer game.

So whats next after Dead Hard? Sprint Burst. Lithe and Balanced Landing? Because all they need to do is get to a window, save their exhaustion or find a small drop to escape you?

Dead Hard already comes with the necessity that you have to be injured to use it. If YOU don't know how to loop a survivor properly and force them into an area that they can't exploit it, that's on you.

I have over 3500 hours in this game and not once has Dead Hard ever been an issue. But then again I never had an issue with survivors using DS on me either. I feel like everyone just wants this game to be dumbed down to the point where chases mean nothing. You get found, you die, killer wins.

At that point, why even play the game?

I really dislike Dead Hard. To me it's the worst perk to go against. I'm curious who came up with the idea of this perk and whether that person really considered killer's fun. I would like to see that person playing killer against four competent survivors with Dead Hard, and then that person tells how he feels.

And it's not only me who gets frustrated, I often see content creators with over 5k hours frustrated when outplayed by Dead Hard, it's just written on their faces, although they might not complain about this afterwards.

I'd take accept any killer/perk nerf, if they rework DH into something more appropriate.

Dead hard is a garbage perk that I'm amazed so many people regularly use it. I am constantly seeing players exhausted on the ground because dead hard didn't work for them. The perk is so buggy that even if it does work it still just delays the inevitable for a good killer. If you're constantly getting bullied by dead hard, then maybe you should play survivor more with dead hard so you can learn how to counter it as a killer.

The issue for most people is using DH for distance, at a distance, to connect loops/obstacles. Most people don't seem to mind it used for timing a dodge before an incoming hit. That clearly takes skill, game sense, knowledge of the Killer, etc. Using DH for distance because you picked a bad route to connect two loops, however, only requires that you know you won't make it without a little booty-scooty.

Personally, I would like to see DH only give distance on a successful dodge of an attack, which can be coded. That way it would not be able to be used purely for a fart-thrust and would only benefit an actual dodge.

Wrong. Survivors don't use it because it's extremely unreliable and you end up exhausted on the ground 75% of the time. And dishonest? I read the forums all the time, so I know what's posted here. The fact of the matter is, they were flooded cries for DS/OoO nerfs, not Dead Hard.

Well, they would activate the ability, and the ability would give a "Dodge State" on a timer. Think of it like current DH, but you don't actually speed up UNLESS the game specifically detects that you used it to invalidate an incoming attack. If you use it and no attack comes in, the timer would run out, and the ability would be "used" the same as normal but without a speed boost.

So ya, it's basically just current DH but only gives a speed boost if a "hit" was detected during the i-frames timer.
