There's no point in them oh look I can screw over killers by healing infront of them way quick or oh look I can just remove a hex totem and yeah Scourge hooks same thing oh look I can just constantly go to the same hook and make the game super unfun like people can just Sabo it but the major difference Boon's are perment and Scourge hooks aren't best way to make it far make Boons one use.

I know people will whine saying then it's making the game killer sided.

DS,DH,Unbreakable you have those or how about this just heal teammates normally I've seen more killer nerfs then survivor nerfs.

This is also because MMR as to be more broken then old mmr where old MMR at least tried to make matches good this MMR all I see is someone wasted tossing in some random amount of numbers together and just saying yep there's a match.

    ...Zuh?

    Most boons are okay. Shadowstep is an annoying one (it can be useless or it can hard counter your build/addons with no way to play around it) and CoH is an abomination (but getting nerfed). The rest are meh.

    Scourge Hooks...I think you're talking about Pain Resonance, because all the other SH perks are mediocre. PR is strong, but relies a lot on RNG or dedicating a slot to Agi.

    Scourge Hook: PR is massively overrated, It's too RNG and only helps the stronger killers who can get downs fast anyway.

    I disagree. I use PR on basically any killer that doesn't have powerful mobility.

    Pair it with DMS on Nemesis, Pinhead or Artist and it's pure evil.

    But the main point of PR is that it doesn't just give regression - it gives regression without you having to go over and kick a gen. That can save so, so much time.

    Pure evil 😂 it is good but not that good once you see those perks are in place it's easy to counter it well if you know what are you doing wich most i guess dont? And for me personaly pr dms is boring playstyle rush the down rush to hook repeat i just like deadlock+corrupt+no way out more i dont care about gens and whitee hooks i just go for chases and have fun 🙃🙃🙃 so if you ask me removing it will not bother me but that will never happend

    Neither Boons nor Scourge Hooks need to be removed

    Pain Resonance needs a buff, I don't know where that 15% gen regression goes but it sure doesn't stop gen rushers from finishing a gen, Unlike PGTW and Deadlock.

    Why?

    They are interesting new perk types instead of the same old stuff

    Scourge hooks should stay, same for boons. Boons should be nerfed, idk how tho. No scourge hook perk should get nerfed, they are not OP in any way and are also RNG depended.

    Boons need a rework.

    What scourge hooks do for survivors is incentivize them to zone away from hooks they recognize as scourge hooks. If you see a survivor hooked and a gen pops - stay away from that area during a chase.

    This is the subtle power of it for the killer.

    However, the major bonus survivors have is killer greed. Killers will go out of their way to return to Scourge hooks for the precious bonuses they grant, which allows a window for protection hits and pallet drops to save the day.


    These are good things to have in the game: additional gameplay layers.

    This is called FUN.


    When the gameplay layers are unfun - it is not, by merit, because they exist.

    When the gameplay layers are unfun - it is because they are not handled well by the development team.
