What perks that got nerfed are still attractive?

As the title proclaims, give us only your freshest takes:

  • I think everyone is sleeping on Iron Will. It's scarcity is only going to increase the value it brings as it catches killers off guard

    Corrupt, Tinkerer

    Corrupt because it's still the best early game slowdown perk.

    Tinkerer because it still lets you save critical gens and the spine chill nerf means it's almost free downs on killers like Bubba

    I removed Sprint and Spine Chill from my build but I kept Iron Will and Self Care (slipped in botany).


    Iron Will is still very good in chases and makes stealth a possibility. Without it the killer literally has to decide that chasing someone else is more important.


    Obviously SB+IW was better than new IW but that's not an option. The Exhaustion perks sometimes are a "crutch" where people use them to create distance when they don't know how to make distance through good use of terrain and mind games.

    BT. Basekit BT is useless because 5 seconds isn't long at all. The additional 10 seconds actually gets them out of the basement or to a loop.

    I still use IW to reduce the moaning because it triggers me...

    My thought is to go full alphachad and drop the exhaustion now that the best option is gone and just 4 perk slammajam into one objective.

    Iron Will, Alert, urban evasion, quick and quiet

    What killer in their right mind would ever anticipate FOUR stealth perks? The brilliance is how madlad it is.

    Corrupt and Botany have both been pretty solid for me still.

    For killer, Corrupt, BBQ, Pain Resonance and Tinkerer are still decent. Only Ruin and Pop got absolutely gutted.

    For survivor, Dead Hard, DS and BT are still solid choices. Spine Chill is still interesting depending on the killer you like to counter. Iron Will and Self Care got hit pretty hard though.

    Attractive? Well I mean Rancor didn’t get changed but its icon is very attractive.

    I used Pain Resonance just tonight, still a great perk. In fact its regression was slightly buffed (since it's 15% of 90 instead of 80 now) so in a way I like it even more! 😄

    Actually it was. It now activates when the killer closes the hatch even if all the gens weren't done.

    Corrupt, iron will, DS, and DH are all very good perks still.

    They can't stop me. I'll make Self-care work. I should be able to play selfishly as a solo-q player if I so choose.

    BT was the second most-used survivor perk and it got 50% longer AND 7% move speed for 15 seconds. It is, in every way, better than it was. There is zero reason why every survivor doesn't run it. The only meta perk that become MORE meta.

    Winner of the madlad award for most dedicated build.

    I agree, you'd think with all the tunneling complaints this would be a real go-to.

    Urban Evasion is not necessary - the only time it really is helpful is against Hag. If you insist on Q&Q then put in dance with me. The two together work but one by itself? Nope.

    I've seen 5 games with Pain Resonance today, so that's still a popular one for sure.
