Parental Guidance will become an anti tunneling meta perk
You dont wanna get tunneled off the hook even if you have DS?Just run Parental Guidance for 100% chance the killer will lose your track and has to be forced to chase someone else.
I do believe this is a good perk that's not too overpowered,besides the perk bullying potential of weak baby killers,there's not much to complain about it.

No, it will not, survivors aren't keen enough to use it. I would be worried if they were, but the first impressions of the perk told me all I needed to know. It is not perceived valuable enough even if it would hard carry them. Luckily hubris comes in clutch once again.

but you need to stun the killer to even activate the effect…
there are other perks that would accomplish this in a more reliable way..

Ds,blinding also counts I think,head one,pallet stun,flashbang,blast mine.
There is more value in killer not knowing which direction you want than people give credit for.

This perk will be really strong when paired with a flashlight, you can palletstun the killer then blind him and just dissapear. If the killer finds out you have it they will also start respecting pallets more which means more loops

Typical bhvr band aiding an issue with a perk.
I'm actually scared of this perk release because, as Laurie268 said
Respecting pallets is almost never a good idea, but this perk will put killers in a lose/lose situation: respect the pallet and give the survivor another loop? Or eat the stun and possibly lose the survivor?

Yeah. But there is still the Meta that most survivors won’t drop for this.
i am not saying it’s a bad perk, but it’s very likely not going to be the new meta.

Me running PG with Smash Hit, Head On, and a Flashlight. Can't tunnel me if they can't find me to hook me :)

The perk isnt even good enough for this. You would need to have much LoS-Blockers around you otherwise it doesnt pay off with DS.

I mean I just use DS and put on good chases, if I really wanted to punish a killer tunneling I could use DS, DH, UB and this perk.
Although most maps are open so they will see you even if you run the perk, may help you 1/10 games but other perks are more useful imo

Its gonna be nice with smash hit, head on and ds for sure. I'm gonna run it. I doubt it'll see much use since there are already very strong scratch mark/blood/etc deleting perks which don't see much use which I'm kinda thankful for - give me BT and DS over shadow step and lucky break any day

I think Q&Q+Head on with this new perk even without a flashlight would be good as well.

Having to run one situational perk in the chance I’m picked up 60 seconds after being unhooked (and being unable to do anything in the meantime) is unappealing enough. Running two is a gross idea.

Whispers counters it (for the most part)
Lightborn (cause you can't be blinded)
A decent headset
But does it block aura reading though?

No, it doesn’t. Meaning its best counter is Nemesis (perk). Hard counters it.

Right ok....Thanks

I like running lithe, dance with me, quick and quiet, and windows of opportunity so the moment I vault a window they lose me.

I am actually gonna use it. I will use it with Smash Hit. It seem good combo. And maybe i will add Quick and Quiet too.

This perk seems like it will be a nightmare. You basically have to eat tons of pallet stuns against good survivors in order to get the pallet down as fast as possible to prevent additional loops

I don’t know if the perk will be meta, but as a killer main I do think people who say it’s bad are underestimating it. Flashlight blind at a pallet and you have zero idea where the survivor ran too unless you happen to run something like Lightborn or Nemesis which, let’s face it, aren’t great perks overall so it’s not likely a killer is running them. And on a Decisive Strike the stun is 5 seconds which is more than enough time to get completely out of ear and eye shot before you start to leave scratches or blood again.
Of course, this begs the question, is it actually always good strategy to immediately resume chasing someone after they stun you at a pallet? Depending on the situation the answer is often no, your better bet is just break the pallet and switch to someone actively doing gens because if you keep chasing that survivor they almost certainly will have reached a new pallet and you’re back to square one. If you just keep chasing, getting a pallet drop, breaking and rechasing and rebreaking, by the time you get a down the gens will all be done. You need to be mindful of when to switch targets to maintain pressure on the survivors as a whole, not just on the one in front of you.
So this perk is probably good in that it does prevent a killer who might otherwise be able to efficiently catch up to you after a stun to have to switch targets regardless. But it’s probably not meta in the sense that good killers won’t just blindly stick to someone after a pallet drop but will be more willing to switch off when that happens.

As mostly a Killer player, as soon as I read this perk's description I tought to myself "oh F*". After a stun its already kinda hard to get a grip on the survivor again as it is, specially in dark maps. If you add a blind, than its even harder. Now you take off your first go to, which are the scratch marks, and it becomes insane. You don't need to get it all the time, but if 1 or 2 survivors get it once, thats GG and 0k.
I'm pretty sure this will need a nerf, either by adding exaustion or a generous cooldown.
