Second Wind is another perk criminally underrated

Been a while since I've seen you

I've had more success with Second Wind than DS. Killers are either afraid of DS and leave you on the floor for 1 minute, or they dont tunnel at all, making DS quite useless in that sense. Second Wind, while it might not always work twice in a game, it has very good chances of working at least once in a game. Let alone that tunnelers who are afraid of DS will still leave you on the floor for 1 minute regardless if you actually carry it.

It's the same for Deliverance. It might seem much better than Slippery Meat, but in the long term? You have to go out of your way to make sure you activate Deliverance first, meaning you need to either screw over your teammate, or screw over yourself. If you're just running it, it averagely has a lower chance of actually getting use than Slippery Meat.

Second Wind and Slippery Meat are both more consistent across the board. You survive tunnelers and campers more often with those perks, than if you were to run Deliverance and DS. The biggest reasons they are not, is because most times, Slippery Meat doesnt work because you're saved before you even get all 6 tries. Most of the times Second Wind doesnt work more than once because either you're being chased because the killer doesnt camp or tunnel, OR your teammates refuse to be healed in the first place.

Essentially, it's not about how easy it is to use, it's about consistency without having to adapt your normal playstyle.

If we're talking normal games, there is a 25% chance you're not the first one being hooked, then there is a 66% chance of you not being the person who unhooks the first person on hook AND a 33% chance of you being the person who is the second one on the hook. Then if you're not the second one on the hook, that is when Deliverance chances start increasing. So if you're not the first, nor the second one on the hook AND have the ability to unhook someone safely, without forcing the perk to activate at a detrimental cost to someone on your team, AND you being hooked later in the match(so no 0 hook escapes, not being 1 hooked as the last survivor) AND not being unhooked before you can finish your animation, that is when Deliverance starts working. Which, on the long run, tends to be about 10% of your games where you unhook yourself(I didnt do the exact calculations, but if we're talking the average game, it tends to drop towards 0 quite fast). So in most scenario's, Deliverance tends to be at some detriment to someone in your team, most likely yourself. Slippery meat? 22% chance of your games that you unhook yourself without ever needing to put someone at detriment. That makes Deliverance a waste of a perk slot in 90%-ish of your games, where Slippery Meat "only" is a waste in 78% of your games. Let alone that Slippery Meat gets better exponentially. A 1% luck offering? 26% 9% luck(up the ante and everyone alive)? 57% of unhooking yourself. A 3% luck offering(aka, the best non-perk slot)? 35%.

Slippery Meat with a luck offering is the best use of your offerings that arent map or bloodpoint offerings.

As for the max amount for the entire team(4 Up The Ante's, 4 Vigo's and basekit 4%) gives you 52% chance of unhooking yourself PER ATTEMPT, aka 89% chance of unhooking yourself basekit, 99% chance of unhooking yourself with Slippery Meat.

If you're going for long term builds that you want to consistently rely on, meta perks arent really the perks to run. Meta perks are really danm strong when they need to be, but they arent always needed.

Jill'sperk is just better. It works always and you can be healed very fast with green medkit 2 times
