Most popular killer perks from 100 matches.

Ruin/Undying is pretty much just doubling up on Ruin. Having two totems instead of one is still very susceptible to getting blown up a minute into the match, so it doesn't patch Ruin's main weakness that effectively. I see many people run Ruin/Pop to have a before-and-after gen regression perk, and just use their other two slots for other types of perks.

And personally, I'd pick Haunted Grounds over Undying every single time when it comes to totem defense. Has a useful effect and doesn't announce to the team that I'm packing a dangerous hex the first time somebody walks by a dull totem. That's worth the 33% failure rate to me.

Yeah agreed I can't play killer without running bbq, well scratch that, I mean I won't. There's no way I'm losing out on double the amount of anything on a video game.

Give me an item on a MMO that gives me double XP or double gold...guess what I'm running? I actually hate bbq lol I wanna run other stuff.

The implications of this are pretty easy.

First of all, I see no problem with BBQ. It is a good information perk that discourages camping by its ability and it is mostly there to reduce the grind. This is fine and should not be touched. However the problem is that this is motivated by the grind and not by the perk itself and this is a bit problematic...

Now the top 4 perks show a very clear pattern: Everything on slowdown. Killers need time and take the best option to buy them time. With Hex: Ruin taking a step back because of boons Killers change to a more reliable perk in "Corrupt Intervention". I am honestly not surprised...

It is kinda bothering me to see once more how much Killers need slowdown to keep up with the game...

I kinda disagree, it's pretty good and can help setup a 3 gen.

And Pig, Nemesis, Demogorgon and Myers. In all the killers with bad early is almost a mandatory perk but it's good with all the killers. It doesn't always prevent early popping, but it avoid the survivor to spread up in the map and start to make gens in several places, it is appreciated in low mobility killers (most of the roster) and also in big maps.

Corrupt intervention is an S tier perk.

Also, you can use it combined with pop or other gen regresion/protection perks, you are speaking about the perk like it was the only anti-gen perk you can equip.

I'm not talking about boring or fun, but efficiency.

In Demo the perk help you to place some portals without gens getting done around the map. Nemesis has a bad early, nobody is infected at start and the tentacle can't destroy pallets, if two gens are done before you reach tier 2 your snowball get decimated and maybe when you reach tier 3 there is only one gen remaining, Corrupt help a lot for countering it.

Not really. It's the only perk in the game that stops survivors from just hopping on gens immediately, giving killers so much needed breathing room at the start of the trial to start their first chase.

Nah. You'd see about the same 8 to 10 perks, more or less over and over.

Survivor meta: prolong chases and make up for mistakes.

Killer meta: must slow down gens.

DH for when the survivor calculated the loop wrong, or ran into a dead end.

Yeah, he also explained in said video the same things i said. That you could get unlucky with the gen spawn, when a killer spawns in the middle, by blocking the 3 furthest gens. Making it impossible to set up a 3 gen.

While its good, its not perfect for every killer.

I recommend you to search for Corrupt Intervention perk study on youtube. You´ll find some Hag mains, that advise against it.

People often wrongfully assume the "game delay" meta is and must be a product of the game otherwise being "too fast". But the fact of the matter is that the game simply inherently is about time, and the longer a trial goes on, the more likely it is for the killer to succeed, with success chances approaching infinity as time does. Even if a gen took 5 minutes to complete, game delay perks would still be the objectively best choice for killers. Would they need them to succeed? Of course not. But you do not need them to succeed even as it is (in fact, if you're a good killer player, you can go into pubs perkless and be AFK for half a minute during the most crucial seconds of a match and still average 3+ kills...).

I've said it before, but I do really enjoy the fact that now there is a relatively wide variety of viable delay perks that all see frequent use, and that's especially because many of them encourage completely different playstyles. With Ruin and Thanatophobia you want to spread around pressure as much as possible, you pair them with stuff like Tinkerer, Haunted Ground, Butcher, Discordance, Infectious Fright. With Pop and Resonance you want to commit to and end chases as fast as possible, therefore are more likely to be using a chase perk or two alongside them, as well as stuff like Agitation and Barbecue. They also encourage leaving the hook ASAP. Corrupt and Deadlock are passive delay perks, but they also come with their own types of play and counterplay, such as trying to hide out Corrupt, or 99ing a gen to keep other gens from fetching Deadlock. Pentimento, Plaything, Undying and Thrill are perks that make game delay revolve around totem gameplay of course. No Way Out prolongs specifically the endgame and can lead to matches being turned around entirely in it, particularly alongside NOED of course. Dead Man's Switch that's hopefully coming with the next update is promising to add yet another option to the arsenal, with its own unique gameplay.

So I for one don't mind the killer perk meta being one of game delay, and don't see it as being indicative in and of itself of an issue either. I do think it could be beneficial for the game to replace some of them with base-game mechanics (such as an "early-game collapse" to replace Corrupt, blocking all gens until the first chase begins), but that would have to go alongside with more comprehensive rebalancing.

What I would definitely like to see is various of the weaker delay perks be buffed. Here's a post of mine outlining some such buffs: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/2702588/#Comment_2702588
