Perks worse than empty perk slot
We all know No Mither is the worst survivor perk that makes the survivor weaker than if he hadn't any perk at all. Recently I found out that the new Object of Obsession is also such a perk: it's the worst killer locating perk which also gives your location away to the killer. I actually tried the 4-eyes build of OoO, Dark Sense, Deja Vu and Kindred, and my games actually went well untill OoO triggered and gave me away to the killer. The whole build was ruined because of one perk that literally killed me. I would've been better off with an empty perk slot instead.
Are there any other perks that are so bad they are worse than an empty perk slot, except these two?

OoO is kinda okay, imo.
The only perk with actual negative overall impact (other than no mither) is level 1 autodidact.

I genuinely think Dead Man's Switch is worse than an empty perk slot.
Congratulations, you stopped ONE generator from being worked on. Because it usually almost always just one generator. Not what are you going to do?

what do you mean OoO is the best killer tracking perk other than Alert, if ur the obsession mid chase that aura reading is so dang amazing. It feels stronger than the original since it works mid chase now. i love it.

Really depends on how long the match goes but in general, yes it might actually hinder you more then it helps.

Predator and Dying light are usually worse than nothing

None. You could make a case for No Mither, but that's about it, because having any perk is better than having no perk in the vast majority of situations.

Predator is a great example as well.

I'd say dying light and no mither are the 2 perks that are worse than not having one.

Object of Obsession is incredibly useful if you know how to properly utilize it.

Slippery meat, when I tried it more often than not I just end up getting myself on to 2nd stage

To me, dying light is very good. I’m shocked people don’t use the the DL/Thano combo any more. The rare times I go against it, it’s a real pain in the ass. I know Ruin/Undying is better, but sometimes killers get screwed when both totems are done quickly.

Dying Light under certain circumstances. Basically, if you don't hook anyone, Dying Light simply gives a 33% buff to the obsession when it comes to altruistic actions.
Can't really think of any other perks that are worse than an empty perk slot so I'll list some that were in the past before they were buffed. If there was no flashlight, Lightborn would not be worth it since it used to dim the killer's POV by 10%. With shadowborn equipped you could argue the increased POV would be worth it but you used to be blinded 50% faster and it took up to 75% more time to recover from the blind. It also (and still does) gives survivors a wider angle to flashlight you from (similarly to M&A), allowing for things like flashlight saves even when you think you're safe.

Distressing, hoarder, dying light, and predator are the only ones that come to mind. Zanshin tactics can annoy me sometimes too.

Coup de Grâce & Dying Light, at least on my personal level.
