Decisive strike needs a buff

Behaviour needs to buff decisive strike as a real deterrent to tunnelling like pre 6.1 i don’t care for endgame but when a second of the stun is getting off the killers shoulders and if you aren’t in arms reach of a pallet or window it’s just a waste of a perk slot.

Decisive strike pre 6.1 was a good choice because of its five second stun that it give to the killer for trying to tunnel you out of the game since it was only activated once per trial after end game removal this perk was not a problem.

WhY DoNT YoU JUsT UsE OTR- because this perk is genuine trash with basekit borrowed time it’s really not needed 80s of endurance when you get hit in the first ten and people who say use both I wouldn’t waste 2 perk slots for two of the most mid perks in the game.

Conclusion- Buff decisive strike back to five seconds as a genuine deterrent for tunnelling I get you might of nerfed it because of usage but if someone uses a perk a lot it’s because it’s doing it’s job which 5s decisive did remember one second is getting off the killers shoulders so how is two seconds of distance worth a perk slot.

    We agree that returning to 5 seconds and keeping it off after 5 gens would be fine, we also want to remind that usage was high because a large chunk of survivors kept throwing themselves at the killer just to use it.

    I get that but If the killer doesn’t tunnel me I’m straight on a Gen or healing it was just nice not to feel helpless when getting tunnelled like you actually had some way to fight back

    It does still does that unless your in a deadzone. That said, what you personally do doesn't change the fact of what the others did. Whenever a side gets nice tools, they abuse the hell outa it till it gets hit with the nerf bat till the devs look into it again.

    yeah I get it but with nerfed decisive it doesn’t even need to be a big dead zone literally if you aren’t in arms distance of the pallet or window you are screwed and this game is balanced around swfs they are the reason the survivor side gets looked down upon when most of us are just solo queue players trying to enjoy the game getting it made more difficult every update like since they nerfed dead hard into obscurity they could of at least buffed it back to five seconds but that’s just me and I do play killer as well if I thought it would be a problem I wouldn’t suggest it you know when someone has decisive cause they will just throw themselves at you and if they do just leave em slugged
