Beast of Prey gutted
Just… why?
Two of three perks I use, Distressing and now Beast of Prey, have been gutted.
I don't get it. There are almost no perks for someone like me, and now the majority I like are boring. And Beast of Prey isn't just losing the Bloodpoints, it's losing the fun aspect of losing your red stain in chase, something I find quite amusing, so it really has no purpose in my build, now.
If I wanted real perks that have actual utility in the match, those are what I'd choose. Why is having perks that are just amusing a bad thing?

Yeah, it seems really bad. Wait 15 seconds doing nothing just to get 20 seconds undetectable…
Just use Unforseen, or Trail…

Beast of Prey is a perk that should be totally reworked, honestly, I have a hard time understanding how you can find it actually useful since its effect is so poor.

Yup, much better options for something like that. Beast of Prey as is is fun to use to mess with the person you're currently chasing. The change doesn't want the killer doing that, it wants the killer to break chase, but if that was what I wanted I'd use a different perk. There's no reason to take away what Beast of Prey currently uniquely does just so it can be a worse version of existing perks.
It's a unique perk and not overpowered. I don't necessarily find it useful so much as amusing. I've seen survivors get confused by it in in chase and I like that. And the BP boost on it means that even if I get survivors who don't overly rely on the red stain I'm still getting something out of the perk in terms of a small boost to BP gain.
Right now, I run Beast of Prey 100% of the time. If BHVR changes it, I will never run it, and its effect is so dull and better achieved with other perks that I can't see anyone else equipping it, either.

They should change it, so it just removes the red stain permanently and keep its old effect.

They could change it so it keeps working even 20 seconds after you lose bloodlust. So you can use it for both…

That would be a lot better.
