Re: 40 Perk Rework
Edit: apparently I got fooled, the changes I mentioned are not official. Just some stupidity from the Internet.
So I was made aware of the incoming changes to the game and I decided to have a peek based on the YouTube video that explains the background for the change (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-meEKQ4MuQ).
There are three changes that I really did not like from the meta changes:
Corrupt Intervention
We are essentially removing it from the game which will affect very negatively the - already weak - Killers such as The Trapper or The Hag and any strategy that needs some initial setup is no longer possible.
Neither the justification for the change make sense to me because you lock a perk slot just to be able run Hexes for 5 min. There are no HEX perks that you can use during the trial that are that powerful not even Ruin or Devour.
HEX: No One Escapes Death
We are removing the only perk that forces survivors to do some more actual work other than generators during the trial, not only that, it is the only perk that denies the rather stupid situation were survivors stay at the gate in full health state knowing you have to hit them twice.
In general
There are also other perks that have been effectively removed such as Tinkerer or Insidious, the new versions are essentially dummy perks that no one have a reason to use. I personally find that then they should have removed Borrowed Time for example as it was in nearly every build and it is still super strong.
I think the main issue with the meta and the so called "toxicity" is not yet addressed with the incoming changes in perks alone. The main issue with meta and the Survivor role was always the same: they were given perks such as the Boons, that's one perk to remove as it is extremely powerful for solo survivors and an absolute abuse for parties in SWF.
What are your thoughts on that?

A couple of things, here.
1) The video you linked explains what the creator would change about 40 of the meta perks. This is not official, nor is this confirmation on what the developers will do. We do not know what the developers are going to do, and likely won't until we see the changes for ourselves within the PTB or Developer Notes.
2) The developers have stated officially that they have also been looking into why perks such as Corrupt Intervention or Borrowed Time are meta, and will be making smaller base-game changes to accomodate this. It's highly unlikely that Corrupt, Ruin, Pop, and Pain Resonance will all be nuked with nothing to compensate for this, and likewise on the survivor side.
Once again, the video is not official information.

Creates account to comment on a video that has NO credibility. Did you hear where the guy in the video says these were HIS changes to the perks. No one knows the changes BHVR is making or specifically which perks are being changed. Anything anyone says at this point is complete speculation. Maybe wait for actual information before trying to get feedback on the changes coming.

Ah really? #########, I thought these were the actual changes by the way he was speaking, I found it strange not to see any BHVR logos properly but... It seemed like the real deal after a quick Google search.

I would have never thought someone would do such a stupid thing then, my bad. I wasn´t too sure it was official but by the way of speaking it got me confused a couple of times. If it did not show up on the first Google results...
