Perks w/ unnecessary downsides: Cruel Limits

If you don't know what this perk does, because you've never seen it or whatnot, it basically blocks all windows within a 32 meter radius of a gen when that gen is completed, and they stay blocked for 30 seconds.

32 meters is really not that big of a radius in the grand scheme of things, especially on big maps. And like Blood Favour, the survivors usually won't be affected by this perk at all if they do the smart thing which is run straight away from the area. If they recognize you have the perk that's what they'll do, but smart players will do that anyway.

30 seconds for the windows to be blocked is an inconsequential amount of time. A survivor could probably loop you around just a pallet for 20 seconds, and then they wait a few more and then your perk is over. I guess the perk can help to make survivors use pallets quicker because they (kind of) can't use windows, but if you're having to get through more than 1 pallet in a single chase and still haven't downed them, you're probably wasting too much time anyway.

At least this perk doesn't have a cooldown. Nevertheless, this is a terrible perk. You would use it for Demogorgon's adept challenge and that's it, unless you're going full meme one day.
