Killer is NOT the easiest it's ever been

Pain resonance used to have a loud noise notification, telling you which gen had the most progress,aka where you needed to apply pressure,screaming was a cherry on top.You also just hooked a person.From both of these facts alone you already have enough information and areas to pressure,.Dms tells you when someone lets go of a gens,telling you when they start running away or going for an unhook.IF you knew how to use said perks,the information was beyond strong on top of the ridiculous slowdown.

Survivors perks are MEANT to be situational.Boons require you to find a totem and be within range of one when you need its effect.Prove does nothing if only one person completes a gen.Any means necessary doesn't work if the killer breaks pallets.The same concept applies to MOST perks.If you take away all perks in the game,killers would tunnel,camp and slug relentlessly,which is why it so happens that meta perks are situationally strong in these situations.

I think you don't have enough experience facing or using the pentimento ruin + build,which is understandable, it wasn't the most popular.There are two situations that can play out,survivors do the totems of they don't.If they don't they have to face the consequences of either the strongest regression perk that ever existed or if they stop midway through have to deal with 30% slowdown,both ideal situations.If they do totems doing 2-3 totems which are slowed down by thrill adds up to a generators worth of progress,and this is on top of the massive travel time.

5 stacks of pentimento is irrelevant. The first token does everything you want the perk to do,everything else is a cherry on top.Plaything is a mediocre combo,since the survivors can just ignore the totems,the penalty isn't that big,especially for a swf.

You need to kill a survivor fast or you lose the game.The average match lasts 10 minutes,if you don't have a kill or something better(multiple people on death hook would be an example) by the halfway point you lost.Killing someone is the strongest strategy the killer can employ by the simple fact that,in a 1 v4 the killer is overwhelmed,while in a 1 v 3 the killer is the one in control.By having a hook and chasing another survivor no one is doing gens.If you can incapacitate 2 survivors(Hook or slug) and you find the third the game is as good as concluded.You can always camp to guarantee a 2k etc.

Now having 3 hooks and one kill,unless the survivors messed up massively is a different story.You don't want to hard tunnel the first survivors you meet unless the survivors allow you to do so,an example being them unhook very early with you nearby,why start a new chase when you can just conclude the old one.
