I don’t really have an opinion either way, but I wanted to see the consensus.

    it should, its not an anti tunnel perk, its a free stab before you get tunneled more. Sure it'll be abused, and be nerfed again, but we should at least try

    if anything it should still be nerfed, like if another survivor is hooked then anyone with DS should lose it.

    yes if it only lasts about 20 seconds, it would be fine

    Hmm... maybe if it doesn't activate after the 5th generator is completed.

    If it activates twice, you will get two free health states basically. It's fine as it already is since you can already use it in a pinch and you can waste the killer time. Even if you don't get to use ds, just the reason that it exists is pretty strong! Getting to use it twice would just be broken and probably abusable.

    Decisive Strike is already a very popular perk for a reason, why would you need to make it more powerful?

    Yes

    Maybe decrease the duration where its active to 30/45s

    I think as long as you don't touch the skill check and just let it pass maybe it should but Im not entirely sure because it's still one of the strongest perks.

    Yeah no. Horrible idea. DS is not op. You just tunnel alot and get hit with it all the time.

    DS is perfectly balanced as it is. It doesn't need any more changes.

    It's a strong perk and can help you make it to the next loop.

    But, in truth, if a Killer wants to tunnel you out of the game, they will probably be successful.

    Swf and/or being a better looper are really the only true antitunnel strats.

    1 get out of Tunnel Free Card is enough for 1 perk, I see absolutely no reason for you to get another.

    Maybe another perk that serves as an anti tunnel perk, would be good.

    You really want to bleed out, don't you?

    It’s literally not meant to stop tunneling. It’s meant to disincentivize it once.
