I'm honestly growing to despise Background Player
I didn't care for this perk much before, but my Lord, this perk is so annoying at times post-buff.
"Oh, but OP, you can just slug!"
I just went against 4 UBs with that perk. You know, the perk that prevents slugging.
"Oh, it's a meme perk!"
I don't care! It's hardly much of a meme anymore, and even if it was, it's still so annoying.
"Just look at wall!"
Yeah, that's really helpful when they run out into the open because they know I can't hook them.
"They're throwing the game!"
Maybe, maybe not! Have at least 1 person on gens; if I can't hook, you can win. Even if they're not on gens, it either stalls the hooking process or slows it so much that it drags on.
"Oh yeah, complain how BG player now, killer main."
Real insightful. I can find something annoying, even if it's not necessarily OP. I bought the game; I'm allowed to have an opinion.

My only gripes with Background Player is how long the haste lasts, and the fact it doesn't instantly make me good at flashlight saves. 😤

Just… run Lightborn? lol. I don’t really see Background Player enough to be irritated by it but if it’s that prevalent in your games devote a perk slot to countering it.. like survivors have to do.

Have you tried Infectious Fright?
I think it's a genuinely slept on perk at the moment, warns you of potential flashy or Buckle up plays.

Background player is one of the few Survivor perks right now i think is unhealthy for the game. It makes pallet safes way to easy.

I think the reason why it's slept on is because some survivors not all but some have started using Calm Spirit to prevent stuff like Infectious to be useless but I mean I think it's also because Ultimate Weapon is a thing while both are used differently but people more use Ultimate because they can locate survivors easily on the map if example it's an indoor map.

I would suggest if it's flashlights most likely it is to pop on Lightborn it prevents background player from being usable since most people do it for the flashlight saves. Though I have known that if it's one flashlight in the lobby you should be gone without it but I mean last minute switch I think is still a thing.

In my opinion the problem is less Background Player and more how wonky flashlight saves and flashbang saves can be. Did you know, that you can literally glitch yourself into the killer's character model while they are picking up to drop a flashbang and get the save with nothing they can do? I found that out a few weeks ago.
I also had a survivor that got a flashlight save on me (thanks to Background Player), when I staired at a wall and couldn't even see the beam yesterday. It did not feel great.
Other than that, I think Background Player is fine. Annoying for sure, but let's be honest; a survivor perk that's not annoying for the killer isn't good.

It's a broken perk that needs to be adjusted. It literally makes every pallet in the entire map unsafe due to the distance the BG player can be from the pallet. There's just no way for a killer to be able to "chase them off" or even be able to investigate if someone is close enough to the pallet. It also makes any pick up not at a wall unsafe, as well. A whole team of BG player can pretty much guarantee picks up won't happen until all the pallets are eliminated.

pallet saves with it are beyond stupid but if you are getting fl saved when you know someone is lurking, that's kind of a skill issue. sorry
