With how regularly Iron Will is talked about, I think too many of you sleep on Bloodhound.
This perk by far is one of the most underrated killer perks, and is probably the least suspected perk by survivors.
Stridor is not the only counter to Iron Will. Bloodhound is also an excellent counter to this popular survivor perk. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve gone to leave a hook, only to notice a bright red pool by a rock/tree/obstruction out of the corner of my field of view, but can’t hear anything because of Iron Will. If it weren’t for Bloodhound I’d probably had not suspected anyone was nearby.
Iron will users are more likely to suspect that the killer is either using Whispers or aura reading before suspecting Bloodhound.
It’s also a great substitute for Deerstalker when it’s been necessary to slug survivors. They’re much easier to find with Bloodhound, unless they have No Mither.
Anyway, my point is: Iron Will bothering you? Try out Bloodhound for about half a dozen matches. It’s way more useful than is given any credit. Injured survivors can’t juke you. You’ll always know which direction they went.

I've used Bloodhound a few times and never really found use from it. Most of the time the blood it highlights you can just see normally. Not a bad perk, but there's many better options.

The issue is that running a dedicated perk to counter Iron Will is only worth it on Spirit with every other Killer its not enough value to consider running. And Bloodhound doesn't even work with Spirit unless you have the Iri add-on

Would using it on legion be good? I know you can't see blood in frenzy but I'm curious

I would love to see your perk tier list my man

I personally think tier lists don’t hold much weight.

Disagree sorry. Blood in foliage I may have otherwise missed, becomes very obvious with how contrasting the bright red is against the greens, browns, and greys.

Bloodhound sucks in most cases imo.
A lot of maps have grass that cover it up despite the glow and if you're seeing blood you are most likely seeing scratch marks, hearing healing noises, seeing other survivors, crows flying, etc.
I dont know why iron will gives a lot of people a hard time. Maps are becoming more open, there's a ton of perks that let killers see auras, there's a lot of other indications of where survivors are, one being just paying attention to things with your eyes.

It's just an opinion based thing.
But seeing your comments on here about certain perks blows my mind at times.I just would want to see what you think of the perks for some context

Actually bloodhound is useless on Spirit, because blood already glows in the spirit world.

I just personally feel that every perk has advantages that can be milked, if used intentionally. Even the awful Monstrous Shrine gets teammates off of gens faster for rescues when someone is hooked down there.

Still think it needs buffs. Also Predator needs a rework. Let's pray they both come in the Mid-Chapter.

Yep,the strength of Iron Will is being able to run away from tiles (with LOS blockers) without the killer being able to tell if you're still at the loop or not until it's basically too late.
Blood Hound does nothing about it.Stridor is the only thing that counters that tactic

???
You can literally see exactly which direction they went, plain as day. It doesn’t matter how many LoS blockers they use.

the only issue i have with iron will is that i wish it did what is supposed to, wich is no groans of pain while injured, instead survivors dont even have breathing sound at all on top of no groans, wich is not even in the perk description.

I feel like blood hound could see use if its effect made it so all survivors suffer from hemorrhage while injured(regardless of what injured them).
Its because as it currently stands Sloppy Butcher with its hemorrhage is debuff on normal hits just does the job of tracking with blood much better then Blood Hound.
Sloppy Butcher does this is while also slowing down healing with the mangled debuff.

Well yeah every perk does something. It's just the opportunity cost of using certain perks over others

I'm talking about when you try to go for a mindgame (where you need to lose sight) but the survivor just leaves the loop and you can't hear them leaving the loop thus losing a ton of distance

I'm more inclined to use stridor. I run it on nurse combined with her stridor-lite addon, I can hear them from miles away and they probably can't hear much over their own noises

I don't think soo
it's not good really
it's also bad for new players, they shouldn't get used to brighter blood (it's not hard to track anyway)

it's pretty helpful if you're constantly stabbing people
