Both Dead Hard and NOED need to be changed for their unhealthy design.

Dead Hard doesnt reward some one for playing poorly, if the person using it is smart theyll use Dead Hard in their loops and play a lot more greedy because they know they can get away with it. Dead Hard is a lot more frustrating since as a killer you feel robbed

Sprint Burst does a lot more and is ultimately the better pick, since it makes almost every part of the map a safe place, if youre in a dead zone with DH it wont really help you all that much

As for NoeD, I do believe it should keep the same effect, but instead of it being given it should be rewarded. Say X amount of hooks nets X amount of instadowns

A very interesting rework to NOED. In fact, It's one of the few that I could get behind and I would love to see it be tested. I think that NOED is already balanced. It's a very strong perk with very reasonable counter-play. A perk that only activates after the doors are powered and can be prevented beforehand seems reasonable to me. However, this rework would bring an interesting dynamic to the end game. The only change to your rework is I think Killers should be given a shortened alternative to their Mori if this perk is active. Some killers have 12-15 sec animations and I feel that it wouldn't instill enough fear or the perk wouldn't have enough power being an end game perk. Most survivors would be able to escape and I think the perk should have the ability to kill at least two survivors before a gate is opened. If the killers could have a 5 - 7 second mori (like Pyramid Head's built in mori), I think the perk would have better balance overall and still be a force to be reckoned with.

I agree. Both of those perks could use some changes.

Nerfing either in any way will basically make them useless.

You can't take away the distance of DH without making it useless and if you take away the i frames it becomes even more unreliable. Pretty much everyone who wants to nerf DH wants the range to be gutted so lol

And NOED is just kind of bleh. There's so many perks now to counteract it and honestly my favorite one to do so is Small Game which is a default perk ALL survivors have access to. Getting an idea for where all totems are and checking them when the last gen is done is the way to go instead of cleansing all 5 totems throughout the match. Trust me.

The only way I'd nerf DH is to make it so you can't use it over Trapper traps because for real that isn't fair.

As for NOED I don't even I would even nerf it but if I did I would make it automatically curse all Survivors as soon as it's in play. This would retain its power with the haste effect and universal Exposed but would give survivors a better heads up to start looking for it or gtfo.

I believe noed could be better and more rewarding then the current version.

I believe that all exhaustion perks are unhealthy and rewards survivor for doing a single action (the only exception is head on and maybe balance landing)

For exhaustion perk they should have an requirement to be able to use it (and for andrenaline only one survivor should have the health state and the speed boost and make it you can't be exhausted like how the rest of the exhaustion perks works)

For noed here a perks concept I've made:

No one escape death

You are determined to please your master.

For every hook gain a token up to the maximum of 12 token

For every 3 token gain a affect:

• 3 token gain 100% more bloodpoint in the sacrifices category
• 6 token gain a 7% haste for 60 seconds after hooking a survivor
• 9 token survivors suffer from the exposed status affect for 30 second after hooking a survivor
• 12 token gain 100% bonus bloodpoints in all catagories

It should reward the killer for hooking survivors with the affect from the current perk with some tweaks since it won't be a hex anymore.

I feel like noed has the old ruin undying problem. Most survivors didn't spend times doing bones because if its a high pressure killer you don't want to spend another gens worth of time doing bones. Noed even if it doesnt activate pretty much gives the killer free pressure as the survivors have to spend all that time on totems. This is coming from someone who uses counterforce/smallgame inner strength. DH for distance is just dumb and lacks counterplay full stop.

i can see the issue with Victor, definitely.

though i am also someone who strongly believes Victor shouldnt be the main chase power of the Twins anyway, so in my perfect world, Victor too would be changed into being a much more supportive role during chases (step 1: he cant down people. step 2: give him some good buffs that make chasing them down as charlotte much easier)

regarding Wraith, yes a hit and run type of playstyle would certainly counter the Perk. But thats like equipping Balanced Landing and getting send to Shelter Woods or Lerys, it'd be a risk people would have to take into account when equipping the Perk.

as for the moonwalk, i really dont see that as an issue. the difference here is, that people were on a death timer with OG Legion, so the Killer never had to hit someone for them to go down. DH doesnt apply anything like that (plus the killer doesnt know when someone has it until they got to use it at least once), so the Killer would have to moonwalk the entire chase and somehow still manage to land two succesfull hits on the Survivor. Thats a pretty unrealistic thing to happen, i think.

in general the chase aspect of this game could take some changes. Sometimes, while looping the Killer, the game doesnt even count you as being inside a chase, which should definitely be looked at.

Dead Hard would be fine if they just remove the invincibility aspect. You simply have to use it at the right time to avoid the attack, just like every other dodge/dash move in every game ever made. Ffs Ocarina of Time did it right, but BHVR can't figure it out.

Honestly sounds on point 🤣
