Why did they nerf Decisive Strike
(My opinion on the matter has changed but I still do find it annoying when you not in the situation to use DS but its all good)
I'm pretty mad about this nerf I believe it was unnecessary and ruined the perk and made it very situational and this makes me upset because I just spent 2000 shards on the dang perk and now Its almost useless (example) I just played a match against The Plague and she waited for my decisive strike to end before she put me on the hook and I think that decisive was perfectly fine before the nerf and the skill check was small and you had to wiggle until 45% just to use it and you could only use it once per match but now you have to be hooked get un-hooked and then get picked up by the killer within 40 seconds just to use it witch makes it super situational and useless half the time
so devs please make decisive the way it used to be you can even have it so you have to be hooked at lest once and then wiggle till 45% and then hit the skill check that would be a understandable nerf in my opinion
So just fix decisive strike please.

You would rather have a no counter play second chance than an anti tunnel perk with counterplay. Ok I see...
here is a tip for you.
Git Gud.
good enough so you won’t need a crutch second chance

They reworked DS from a unbalanced perk to a balanced perk with guaranteed counter play.

2k is a drop in the bucket for shards and the rework was well needed and well deserved. It could turn around the game massively just by being present and that's an issue. Something as strong as escaping and stunning the killer should be situational. It shouldn't be the type of perk that can be used on a whim. If the killer is waiting out your DS, she is wasting a lot of time. That's the point of the perk. If they choose to slug, they're wasting time. If they pick you up, you get to use the perk. Maybe pair it with unbreakable (many already did that before) or no mither for future reference.
Now it's on par with something like Unbreakable. It may even be like Adrenaline. Someone in a match of mine had Deliverance and DS and when they got themselves off, the killer downed them and they were able to get out thanks to that perk. You just need a different build than what you're used to if you want to use the perk efficiently now, probably not perks your used to having, but it's honestly more fun to mix and match than rely on the same four every time.

You could use decisive as a "anti-tunnel" perk and it's not that hard to escape the kill when getting tunneled I've been tunneled a bunch of times and decisive would let me escape if I'm about to get on my last hook I just don't like how situational it is now I liked how you could use it without having to get un-hooked and then have a small window to use it.

fluffybunny you have a very good point and I guess I should have given it more time but like I said the kill can just have you down and then pick you up when decisive is done but yet again some one could save you when your down but that doesn't even happen half the time. But I'll give it more time I'm just kinda mad because it feels too situational I just liked how it was before.

I rarely used DS because most killers will just camp you because of it.
It was legitimately overpowered. Good luck against those 2-4 DS teams at higher ranks. With bad map RNG, they can loop you for a long time, and then force you to eat multiple DS before you even get your hooks going.

Yeah that is op I just would prefer a different nerf here is my idea make it so you can use decisive like normal but it has to be your last hook I think that would be more fair but I'm starting to rethink here a bit because I was just angry about all these matches ive had in the new update

"I'm pretty mad about this nerf I believe it was unnecessary and ruined the perk and made it very situational and this makes me upset because I just spent 2000 shards on the dang perk and now Its almost useless"
No offense but the change was mentioned before the PTB and was implemented during the PTB. If you spent 2k shards on a perk without first seeing what the next big chapter/PTB changes were going to be you simply burnt yourself.
