What 1 killer perk and what 1 survivor perk would you change?

invocation treacherous crows changed:

Finish invocation as usual and broken etc. same

Reward: Whenever the killer scares a crow anywhere, all survivors see the killer’s aura globally, trumps stealth killers and undetectable

Looks strong but consider that this is all just to get close to what VC has and there’s still broken status effect

Killer: sloppy butcher works with m2 attacks

Killer: No Quarter

This perk is trying to tie the ideas of constant bombardment and anti-self healing in a way that just doesn't work, so I think it'd be better to rework it to focus on the first part and leave room for a better anti heal perk down the line:

When you're carrying a survivor this perk activates.

All survivors receive continuous skill checks while repairing and suffer a 12% repair speed penalty.

Survivor: Flip Flop

This perk manages to both be useless on its own and yet problematically good at bringing games to a crawl with the right combos.

When you escape the killer's grasp, you gain 7% haste for 10 seconds.

This perk then goes on cool down for 40 seconds.

Blood Pact:
Gain 25% action speed to healing and unhooking the Obsession. After completing a healing action on the Obsession, or having the Obsession complete a healing action on you, you both gain a 5/6/7% Haste status effect until no longer within 16 meters of each other.

Monitor & Abuse:
While in a chase, your Terror Radius is increased by 5/10/15% and a chased Survivor suffer from the Blindness status effect for 10 seconds.

I hope you don't fire me for these changes... 😅

bring back 5 second DS.

bring back 200% ruin.

reason i pick these 2 is because they shouldn’t have gotten nerfed in the first place back in 6.1.0. i understand the meta shake up was needed but with the modern dbd is, these perks being reverted to their previous state would be completely fine.

Vigil - reduce the effect to 30/35/40% (instead of 44/55/66%) and remove ability to affect killer powers, perks usually don't affect killer powers and it currently breaks that rule by affecting basekit hindered for some killers (albeit not all of them), and the perk is just too strong in general for how many things it affects and for being entirely passive.

Nowhere to Hide - remove the moving range and only reveal survivors within 24 meters of the generator (instead of the range following the killer's position for 5 seconds after the kick). The moving range is overkill imo especially on the high mobility killers and for a perk that doesn't have a cooldown

Survivor:
Invocation (both).
Giving Invocation perks the ability to stack the effects from a single ritual, and changed the permanent Broken status into an Exposed effect that lasts for 120 seconds.
Increased the time required to perform the Invocation by 20 seconds if both Invocation perks are present.
1 invocation perk = 60 seconds
2 invocation perks = 80 seconds

Killer:
Bamboozle - Disables when used in conjuction with a traversal power (examples: Legion M2, Cloaked Wraith, Kaneki leap, Vecna Fly etc. will not trigger the entity-blocker created by Bamboozle).

I would just change Invocation to be mechanically different.

Invocation circle is always present and anyone can charge it. Once it's fully charged an invocation crystal will appear at the circle and to claim it you will be given a prompt to choose which perk to activate if you have it and then claim the rewards for your team and take the debuffs. This way anyone can commit to it and the reward can be claimed at any time by who ever has the perks. I would also give the invocation circle a base effect that anyone can activate without a perk alongside the killer being able to steal the progress of a completed invocation to claim their own reward.

First half is what I'd absolutely change about invocation perks to make them less punishing. Second half with base rewards and killer theft purely optional. For invocation I just find it funny that you have to choose one of the perks right away and that channel is committed to that perk. I feel being given the freedom of choice on what to activate after the channel is completed and who can put the work in should be changed. Invocations right now are insanely selfish and often throw a game.

pain resonance: revert it to original. literally the perfect killer perk.

survivor: treacherous crows: remove the TR requirement

For people who use old distortion, it would.

And for people who use stealth, it would.

Giving it a dumbass anti-stealth condition with zero value given back, would kill the perk (which it did).

I would love for distortion to be changed like this.

Im praying that they do, but i doubt it since "wahh must chase, if not = bad perk"

To play devil's advocate I'll provide a perk for each side I think should both be buffed and nerfed.

For Survivors I would probably change HYPERFOCUS so that if you let go of a gen when the perk first activates it goes on a 30 second cooldown, to allow killers interrupting survivors using hyperfocus to actually have an impact.

I would also change STILL SIGHT so the Auras of killers and chests are revealed to ALL survivors until you move again so that perk feels worth bringing and is actually helpful to have in solo queue.

For Killers I would change SPIRIT FURY so that it requires 3 pallets not 2 before it can be activated. I use an ENDFURY HUBRIS build and I've seen just how ridiculously broken it can be on certain killers.

I would change UNDONE so instead of 3 token per missed skill check its 10 tokens and to apply it to a generator you activate it with a prompt instead of automatically, this way you can get real value from it and not waste it in order to kick a gen you want to regress but not block.

honestly if thats such a problematic thing they could just reduce the duration to like 4 secounds.

this would give enough time to turn around but not drag it on away from the original position.

Thanks!

it’s crazy that they haven’t removed the broken status from all invocations. They’re not good enough for that kind of penalty. They could just change it to putting you in deep wound state, even if your fully healed and the perks would see some actual usage without being obnoxious to face.

Anyways, the two perks I’d change would be to revert the nerfs to Undying and SpineChill. I actually like using hex perks as killer and eating hex totems as a greedy bush. Spine Chill is because I’m bad and it helps so much against avoiding S tier killers like Nurse and Spirit. If not Spine Chill, I’d revert the nerfs to Distortion. Killers have plenty of aura perks or ways to find Survivors and I’d like Hide and Seek to make a comeback.

I'd make No Mither not break the surv until they're hit first. Still needs a full rework imo, but at least this makes it not be announced immediately at the start of the trial.
