Decisive Strike still doesn’t feel like an “anti tunnel” perk.

This is not gonna happen.

Current DS is strong where supposed to be, at the end game. When the killer wants the kill, camping and tunneling.

DS is literally gutted.

It's up to the killer if they want to eat possible BT and then DS because that survivor can't do nothing to progress the game.

Devs, do a favour to our member here. "If the survivor drops a pallet, fast vault, medium vault, or slow vault a window, DS deactivates."

And that is why DS is meta. Not because it is a good perk, but because it counters that strategy and makes the game playable for survivors.

Stop tunnelling, and DS becomes garbage.

Or keep tunneling and dispose of that survivor (that's actually the better choice most of the times). This perk doesn't work properly as a anti tunneling, it's still a free escape in the end game, so ironically this perks will enforce tunneling. I want to add a personal anedoct: since I was tired of seeing people winning thanks to perks that "outplay" me every time (tbagging at the exit and being extremely toxic for no reasons), I did an experiment: I started to play optimally, without caring about the fun of the others (I must also thanks some survivor mains on this forum if I started to play in that way) and I must say that it works MUCH better.

Oh yeah, it having a condition doesn't make it bad. It just has a very terrible condition, that is what makes it bad. You need to be hooked, rescued, and then downed and picked up again in the next 60 seconds without ever doing anything useful for the team.

That's an incredibly stringent activation condition. Much, MUCH worse than most other conditional perks. It just gets picked because it is the only thing that counters tunnelling. And short of stripping it of its one and only function, you can't make people stop using it. No matter how bad it gets, it will get picked up as long as it counters tunnelling.

DS is not OP. It's just meta because it counters the killer meta.

That's because they're gen-based perks. Decisive Strike is a hook-based perk, not a gen-based one.

Prove Thyself, Flashbang, Blast Mine, Visionary, Better Together, Technician, Red Herring, all of these gen-based survivor perks shut down when gen 5 is done.

Conversely, Make Your Choice, Devour Hope, Gift of Pain, Blood Echo, all the hook-based perks continue to function.

I have people body block me while they're running DS. 9 times out of 10, Borrowed Time is on them so they abuse it to protect the unhooker, knowing for a fact that even if I wait out the BT and down them, they have 60 seconds to get away.

DS is not healthy in its current state- I don't think it ever will be, not when paired with the tactic of abusing Borrowed Time or using it to body block and have 60 seconds to crawl away and get picked up.

I've certainly also have the situation where I've hooked someone else after the person who has DS has already been unhooked, and they intentionally throw themselves at me to make me eat their DS while its still active. The HEALTHIEST DS would be is if it was disabled once another person was hooked at all, or downed while the DS user is outside of the killer's terror radius.

Leave the hook alone 😂 bother someone else that's working a gen while your trying to bother the hook counters bt and D's you think D's is unhealthy bc your the kind of killer DS and bt are suppose to punish 🤡🤡🤡

I get you're trying to rile me up, but you know you're looking like a clown, right?

What am I to do, if someone follows me to the hook, unhooks the person immediatly after I hook them, while I'm 3 feet away, and then the person who got unhooked runs in front of me to eat a hit with BT?

Or, perhaps I'm playing a super territorial killer like trapper or certain hag builds; Am I just supposed to not hook around my traps and go patrol somewhere with no traps where I'm literally just a m1 killer?

Alternatively, alternatively, I could be chasing someone else, simply near the hook after someone gets unhook, and the person who has DS has an entire minute to be able to body block while I'm chasing someone else.

What about cases where there's only 3 survivors left, I've chased one off a gen, and I know the other one is going for the unhook? Should I just let the third person take me all the way to the otherside of the map?

Honestly, there's a thousand reasons you could think of that aren't just tunnelling or camping that DS and BT can be used (and sometimes abused) to get a second chance when the killer is making the only right calls in certain situations.

Then take the kills you did get and move on to next game lol it's not a competition. Killer aren't true wins, of you get 2 kills and pip you win. As a killer main I don't need that guaranteed kill end game. I don't tunnel or camp. If I did endgame, survivors deserve counters whether it be ds, dh or bt.

And I stopped caring about kills and just played and didn't try to ruin the survivors fun. Works our better for me. I still get 3 and 4 kills most games. Don't tunnel and never camp.

Just make it a zero time use. Ez /s

Oh, thanks Captain Obvious. It doesn't make it fair or balanced that I just have to play the game in a really awkward and inefficient way in order to maybe put a little bit of pressure on the team. If the DS+BT combo wasn't in most people's kits, and if it didn't let the person who just got unhooked body block and tank hits for their team, this wouldn't be an issue.

Hmf, people DOESN'T DESERVE such kindness. Maybe I've a mmr too much high, but you can't play chill with survivors. Every single game I've (toxic most of the times) people who use the usual small pp build with instaheals and toolboxes with BNP, while I play with brown addons... actually I'd rather do few points but kill everyone IF the survivors that I faced were toxic or play to win instead of chilling than leaving everyone alive by playing fair... You reap what you sow
