    Reassurance for me is below C in Solo, even before AFC is a thing.Its only useful in Swf.

    Hyperfocus : the most overrated perk in DBD history

    Sole survivor and Clairvoyance : the most underrated perks in DBD history (obviously, only for some gamestyle)

    Pharmacy: the most forgotten perk in DBD history (why does it still exist?)

    Weaving spiders: this is a good killer perk, does a better job Pop or Pain resonance , but I'd say a solid "A tier"🤣

    Any Means, Red Herring, Deception, and Pebble are all S+ in my heart.

    I genuinely believe Wicked is an S tier perk and is being incredibly slept on atm.

    A free unhook is incredibly power as Deliverance taught us (which that belongs in at least A tier if not S tier) but beyond that you get 20 seconds of killer aura reading. The ability to avoid the killer for that long is absolutely busted and has prevented more tunneling than OtR and DS have combined in my experience. Wicked is in my opinion the best anti-tunnel perk in the game with the added bonus of being a stronger deliverance in the right situation.

    I can understand thinking DH is good, but as long as it is ping reliant, it can never be S-tier imo. My matches on my own server with me having <20 ping still have VPN Killers getting around pallet stuns and DH procs because they are so laggy.

    Also bizarre to see FTP so far up if it is only there for FTP+BU combo, but not seeing Stakeout/Hyperfocus for similar reasons. Also is this an averaged tier list or SWF or soloq? I find Stakeout+Hyperfocus way more useful in soloq than FTP+BU because they vault the pallet in front of the Killer and the Killer just grabs them.

    6 hyper focus skills check shave off 9.45..…that it?definitely overrated

    hitting 6 normal skill checks would take off around 5.5

    "Six great skill checks with both hyperfocus and active Stakeout save 18.09 seconds". Every additional skill check give you 5.04. So hyper focus is only usable with a gimmick perk known as stake out and even then u can't depend on using the tokens. Run out of tokens back to trash repair speed. In summary you can't be average or even good at hitting skill checks to use this perk. You have to master hitting at 8 to 9 skill checks consistently without burning through stake out tokens to get value out of this perk. 99.9% player base will never be able to do that. I'm sure it some sweatball who can hit 9 in row consistently while keeping a stake out token (crushing every gen in 50sec) but it ultra rare. You're more likely to see someone win 500 games with nurse then someone who master a hyperfocus

    Adrenaline isn’t that good. I rarely even see it used in my matches, its value is very situational and after the nerf it will be a waste of perk slot when you could use a perk that gives value through the whole match, and not once when all 5 gens are complete.

    And at least in solo queue you will die most of the time before the exit gates are even powered

    None of the Perks in S-Tier are actually S-Tier.

    DH is relying on Ping, which makes it not S-Tier. It is a decent Perk, but having to be this precise and getting it ruined by Ping is not really something I would call S-Tier.

    Adrenaline is not S-Tier either after its Nerf, which was way too hefty. A Perk which is one-time use and only activates in Endgame needs to be stronger to be S-Tier. Most of the time you dont get use out of Adrenaline anyway.

    DS is not S-Tier either after the "Buff". It is not really a Buff, it is more a compensation for the longer animation. But what should have been a flat out buff is not really a Buff anymore. Perk will probably still not see any use and therefore not be S-Tier.

    And OTR is simply the most overrated thing in the game. The Killer can get rid of it in 1 second. So yeah, 80 seconds of Endurance, sure…

    I'd definitely move Exponential up a tier or two. Sure it's not exactly popular or reliable, but it can save whole games on occasion.
