Shoulder the Burden - why only 1 use ?
I'd like to hear why a person running this perk can only use it once per match.
If you could use StB twice, and you've already used it once, and have 1 use remaining:
- scenario A: the killer is camping the hook. if you shoulder the burden, you're gonna be exposed and dead when hooked. I don't see any problem towards the killer. If anything, this would favor the killer.
- scenario B: the killer is not camping the hook, and the hooked person in on Struggle phase. It doesn't matter whether the person gets saved normally and now they are dead on hook, or you shoulder their burden and you are the one dead on hook instead. If the killer quickly returns, they can either down the injured unhookee or down the exposed unhooker. It feels like the same value.
- scenario C: same as B, but the hooked person is on their first hook. You shouldering the burden would make them 0 hooks, but you would now be dead on hook. This is extremely favorable towards the killer, 'cause now they suddenly have a/another person 1 hook away from death.
I'm failing to see why 2 uses of StB per match per person would be a problem. Maybe, the unhooked person could get additional uses of Dead Hard and Off the Record, but… the unhooker still becomes dead on hook and exposed.

Imo it would grant the survivors too much control over the killers objective regardless of its strength

It would be funny if you could use it thrice.

Because this game is killer sided, and devs always buff killers perks…

I really dont understand this argument. using it twice would just mean that person is dead on hook. Plus you can see who used it. in my experience a yellow tally mark appears on their name even when im killer.

Because you shouldn't need it more than once. Use it properly. It's like Deliverance, you don't need more than one if you're smart.

Seems like you don't read patch notes at all…

that would be hilarious. Imagine if a taurie runs around and shoulders the burden of all 3 teammates and just drops dead after unhooking the third one.

Of course they don't, that wouldn't fit their narrative if they did.

Because its not a single person who could use Shoulder the Burdon
1 survivor shouldn't even have the possibility to reach 9 hooks before dying

One answer. SWF especially a four man will cycle through and prevent killers from getting a kill way too easy if it is more then once. As is it has been a problem with them also.

Probably because it's already strongest perk in the game and buff already strongest players by a mile?
They nerfed garbage D tier perk AwAwa because of Nurse, but somehow should buff S tier perk to make it force 8 hooks every game no matter what?1
