What perks do you refuse to use?

Noed for killer (unless I'm running a devoted endgame build, which is rare)

Prove thyself for survivor. gen speeds don't need to be increased, and why make the game shorter and less fun for everyone? I'll occasionally run DH, but I generally avoid it since it's boring.

Killer- monstrous shrine

survivor- Unbreakable

There's not really many survivor perks that are truly "off limits" to me, I think Dead Hard is the meta perk I use the least just because of how much it annoys me as killer but I'll use it sometimes.

As killer? Only really NOED, I dislike the perk and honestly I think I'm better than having to use it for a free endgame kill; I'd rather have 4 perks I have constant value from than 3 perks and then one in the endgame that doesn't help when I need it (a la facing coordinated teams).

Iron Will because it’s a cheap brainless perk that shouldn’t exist.

Ruin

Decisive

For killer I also don't run NOED. It gets cleansed every time.

For survivor I don't run Iron Will. Not only is it a morally gray perk to use (I believe killers should be able to at least hear survivors), but I feel like if I got used to running it and then took it off, it would just throw my game off so much.

Survivor: Bond/empathy because I've had too many random teammates use these perks to find people to sandbag, I see these more as sandbag perks than helpful perks.

Killer: Insidious and Knock Out because they are perks that encourage camp/slug gameplay.

Prove Thyself and Franklin's Demise.

Killer: Monstrous Shrine

Survivor: Dead Hard

I'll personally avoid using NOED as Killer unless all the perks I have are crap because NOED feels a bit too crutchy for me (also I don't like relying on a Killer perk that only does anything during the end game).

For Survivor, nothing is off the table for me.

Dead hard. Because half the time you press E and still get hit, regardless of validation.

Head on. For the same reason. Constantly get yoinked from the locker due to lag.

Killer as a whole: because I'm tired of being hit by pallets when I'm still several steps away from them, again... Due to server lag.

NOED 👀

BT for survivor.

Probably Unbreakable. I never get any value when i equip it.

It's a curse.

Killer: Knockout, NOED unless its like an all endgame build or meme exposed build, All of nemmies perks cause I just dont have him xD

Survivor: I dont own like 6 survivors so them ig. I only play solo or SWF with no comms so I consider all perks fair game at that point.

Killer: NOED. I would consider it if I run a full end game build (ie No Way Out, Remember Me, Blood Warden) but otherwise I think it's harmful to developing long term chasing skills. If I get out chased by a group, I want to figure out how to counter it and doing otherwise would be detrimental, in the long term, to my enjoyment of playing killer.

Survivor: Dead Hard. Unless I'm doing a Tome challenge I won't run it for the same reason; it's too easy to get away with things that you wouldn't have without it even more than other exhaustion perks (and dh'ing through a trap is ridiculous). I quite often don't run exhaustion perks though as I started in September so I still have a lot to learn about looping and chasing. I will sometimes run the other exhaustion perks and I want to become better at 99'ing my Sprint Burst but I don't like Dead Hard's design so I won't run it.

Devour hope. While I don't technically refuse to use it; I hate this perk. It either carries or does nothing. But the main reason I hate it is that it is widely accepted as a balanced and "fun" perk

Killer: Insidious and NOED

Survivor: Any one-and-done perks (Unbreakable, DS, Adrenaline etc)

Killer Perks I avoid using (I don't play survivor)

• BBQ and Chili - I don't care about the bloodpoint bonus and there are other tracking perks I like better. I also generally don't like using bloodpoint bonuses to "balance" perks and add-ons, I'd much rather have them replace those with gameplay effects that can impact the actual match. (I'm ok with Offerings have bloodpoint bonuses since, for the most part, that's what a lot of them do. They're not necessary on perks and add-ons though and are a terrible way to balance them out.)
• Beast of Prey - As above, don't care about the bloodpoint bonus. Also becoming Undetectable while Bloodlust is active is a niche effect at best. This perk could use a revamp. (I'd love to see them replace the bloodpoint bonus with having it speed up Bloodlust triggers by 3/4/5 seconds.)
• Blood Warden - If I wanted to keep people from exiting at that stage I'd use No Way Out instead, it's objectively better across the board. (Hypothetically you could run both No Way Out and Blood Warden, that seems like overkill though)
• Corrupt Intervention - I totally get why a lot of people use this, but a lot of the time I've run this perk the survivors just hide until it ends, which becomes a boring dragged out start of the match where I'm looking aimlessly for them and they're hiding and not doing gens. I'd much rather they get on the gens right away so I can hear them working on the gen and start a chase right away. It's way more fun that way.
• Coup De Grace - This perk seems pretty clumsy. Once per generator you can get a really long lunge attack. But you can't control which lunge attacks get the bonus, it's just the next ones you do. It just doesn't seem worth it trying to figure out a good way to use this one.
• Hangman's Trick - Letting you see auras only while carrying someone and only if they're right near a hook just feels super weak. Does anybody actually use this one? It really seems like a perk that could use a buff.
• Hex: No One Escapes Death - I can't remember the last time I used this one. Not that I have any moral objections or anything to it, I think it's basically just Haunted Grounds but at the end of the game instead of the beginning. It's just that I'd rather use my perk slots for things in the early and middle game when I'm trying to get into chases to build momentum.
• Insidious - Seems like a pretty worthless perk, outside of that dumb facecamping thing which I never do.
• Monstrous Shrine - What a disappointing perk. Who cares about making it harder for a survivor to pull themselves off a hook? It's such a worthless effect. I'd love to see this one get a revamp. (The one I'm rooting for is that it makes rescues in the basement take 2/3/4 seconds longer, you can see the basement hooks at all times, and the basement hooks all count as additional Scourge hooks for related perks.)
• Territorial Imperative - This perk seems like it really only works if you're doing a specific basement style build, but with Monstrous Shrine being so terrible I just can't bring myself to do this. Maybe if they someday buff Monstrous Shrine I'll consider it.
