Hangman's Trick change sounds like a nerf

What is this change? That perk is very bad and now it gets slightly better increase in aura reading range but only limits you to few randoms hooks on the whole map? LMAO that sounds like a nerf than a buff. Please just rework this perk next time, it's so bad and even worse now. I don't understand this change.

    Cool another scourge hook that’ll have a pick rate below 1.0

    Yeah they somehow managed to make one of the most famously bad perks in the game even worse. BHVR moment.

    Agree. 0 sense to make it scourge hook, Just give it 10 meters aura to every hook and it still be worse than half info perks.

    Also scourge hooks should be 5 by default + 1 for every this type perk.

    I agree. I think the Breakout change is an overall nerf as well.

    If it’s limited to scourge hooks it should be at least 16 meters if not more.

    Yeah they made it sound like a buff or change to make ppl use it more but nothing they did to the perk makes me want to use it. I really don't care about seeing a survivor who 10meter from a s.hook. I guess it good to see if your s.hook is getting sabotage but usually I can see the survivor anyway and don't need a perk to show me that xD

    Oh that would be much better change or maybe make the hooks aura like 16-24 meters. Something big since it is limited.

    I still don't understand what was so bad about original Hangman's trick that motivated the balance team to rework it into an aura perk.

    Hangman's trick was the only perk in the game that brought hooks back. It was good by default, it should've stayed that way.

    I can see the logic somewhat. If they just upped the radius and kept it as ALL hooks then it'd be OP. Apparently the ptb for Pig had it so strong you basically saw all survivor aura while carrying someone.

    Having it so that four randomly-chosen hooks have a slightly higher radius though... it's garbage. Doesn't even have any good synergy with the other scourge hooks. I guess with Monstrous Shrine you can see the aura of survivors in the basement while carrying someone but like... why would you need that?

    Some of the perk changes are pretty good and show BHVR's understanding of how perks are used but... then they show -this- change and it's like... they don't play their own game.

    Awakened Awareness was always the better option anyway. This perk just needs a full on rework.

    This passive information will be more useful than it current effect. The perk still weak tho
