Devs, why are you so afraid of making PWYF a decent perk?
Seriously, I don't understand this.
Play With Your Food is an interesting perk, and it actually takes effort to get use out of it. Even with the perk Nemesis, it's still difficult to maximize your stacks.
Anyways, let's take a look:
- Doctor: Why do Shock Therapy and Static Blast attacks consume PWYF tokens??? They don't even take health states. Clown's gas doesn't affect PWYF stacks, so why does Doc have to deal with having his stacks taken away? (Whoops, can't give them ideas, they're gonna make Clown's bottles consume PWYF tokens)
- Bubba: Consume a chainsaw charge, there goes your PWYF stack. I suppose this one might be fair, but this is also very debatable.
- Clown: Bottle hits count as PWYF tokens for some damn reason. They don't even damage survivors, they just interrupt actions. The only issue here that makes this reasonable is Redhead's Pinky Finger, which shouldn't even be an add-on to begin with.
- Legion: You can't down survivors with Frenzy, so I don't see why Frenzy Slashes should affect PWYF tokens.
- Plague: I don't think Vile Purge should deplete PWYF stacks. Corrupt Purge is understandable, but Vile Purge I disagree with. What are your thoughts on this one?
- Blight: Consume a Lethal Rush token, there goes a PWYF token. What I would do is change it so that if you get that Lethal Rush hit, it depletes a token.
- Twins: I'm not sure if they changed this one because the DBD wiki says that Victor doesn't deplete PWYF stacks, but the page might've not been updated. I don't think Victor should deplete PWYF stacks, he's an entirely different character, he's not Charlotte. Plus, I don't think PWYF even affects Victor, does it?
- Trickster: Hit a survivor with a blade, or miss it. This one is the most ridiculous by far. Just make it so it consumes the token after getting rid of a health state with the knives.
I'm just really bothered by this because PWYF is one of my favorite perks, and it's such a well-designed concept. I just wish the devs weren't so worried about making it "broken." It actually takes effort to get the most out of it, and it's quite risky to do so because of the amount of time it takes.
Please please please, consider making this perk more enjoyable to run.

I love using it on Ghostface. You can get 3 stacks while 99ing everybody. I wish it was a bit buffed so I could use it on other killers.
Btw, gotta love how a single Trickster knife consumes a token, but literally killing a survivor with Tombstone Myers doesn't.

Giving you extra speed's a reeeaal careful thing to balance.
I, personally, think making it "Lose a stack on a successful down" wouldn't be too horrible for everyone.
Maybe.
I don't know, i'm tired.

Maybe just a health state, that's all.

That's what I'm sayin'.
It's a fun perk on particular killers tho, it's still kinda fun on Bubba.

Uh, it is a good perk? 3 stacks on a 1 shot killer is basically free downs. I don’t think free downs should be handed out lightly cough NOED cough

It's a bit difficult to get stacks on PWYF though. Nemesis makes it easier but you're sacrificing a perk slot for easier stacks. Plus, it consumes time to be able to get the stacks, allowing survs to do gens.
I just want this perk to be usable on all killers, that's all. It's one of my favorite perks in the game and I hate seeing it like this.

Why do you want to see completely uncounterable, 0 skill downs on every killer? That’s what 130% movespeed is.

Vile Purge doesn't consume a PWYF stack

Oh, it doesn't? That's good to know, the DBD wiki was wrong about that.

By that logic, old Bubba was OP with PWYF + Nemesis.
You seem to be forgetting the amount of time it takes to get 3 stacks.
Even then, the perk will remain the same as it ever was, it'll just allow more for PWYF on other killers. I don't think it'd hurt to make PWYF viable on other killers.

I don’t think it’s OP but it’s uncounterable. You get to 130% movespeed and collect your free down.
It’s the spirit problem but a little bit less annoying. It’s like oh the 130% movespeed killer saw me I just die. Amazing gameplay.
Id rather the killers use skill to get downs and not get free downs because they spent time farming some stacks.

if your willing to do an action like a special ability instead of getting an easier hit, than i'd say fair play to remove a stack.
