So About the New Mettle of Man
While I do understand that this perk needed to be rebalanced due to it being more or less a get out of jail free card, in its current state it seems almost impossible for it to actually take into affect. As it is right now you have to get 3 protection hit scoring events and you being in the injured state in order for you to take advantage of the perk which is totally fine, but it almost seems impossible for a protection hit to even count towards a stack. There are instances where I could be intentionally trying to body block a survivor and tank a hit for them while they were being chased and it would clearly say on the left side of the screen "protection" and not gain a stack and other times the exact situation described except no protection score or stack at all even though I was clearly behind a survivor taking the agro. What also doesn't make sense is when I would get a stack when i'm near a survivor who's in the dying state next to me when I took a hit or got down which doesn't make sense since usually those don't give me points for protection and I don't really understand as to what i'm protecting. I'm not saying to buff this perk anything like that but to simply make it more consistent with how hits are counted.

Yeah it's terrible, you definitely rarely get the tokens credited.

So it's bugged
Not surprising

Janky and inconsistent would be over selling it.

I have been actually using the perk a lot recently and its still hella good, but at the same time hella buggy, i have literally taken hit right next to my companions and it still doesnt register it
The devs have no interest in fixing they deem broken and unfair to play against, just look at the visual bug nurse has when blinking that hasnt been fixed since her release

I like how people are saying "just get protection hits lol. y so hard." Well, because then we're close to being put into dying state where it resets the token count? The best part is there are plenty of killers, add-ons, and perks that put people into dying with 1 hit. Making the current version of the perk useless. We have to take 3 hits, escape 2 times (minimum), and heal 2x (minimum). OH and by the way, when you heal more than 12-16 meters away from the killer (depending on the rank of it), it tells them where you are once the heal finishes. That matched with the highly used meta perk, Nurses Calling, most of the time you're not safe to heal without a big "here I am!" no matter how far/close you are. By the way, did I mention it also increases your chance of becoming the obsession? I get that it was pretty damn good at one point, but now it's borderline useless. Right up there with Left Behind, that was kinda made useless when they added the endgame mechanic, but that's a story for another time. The problem with relying on protection hits while unhooking is that it could end up as an unsafe hook if they get hit next, which is no good, or you get put into dying and it resets anyway.
Some of things they can do to fix this.
Idea #1. Remove the reset of tokens
Idea #2. Remove 1 protection hit needed, and the aura given when healed.
Idea #3. Make it only reset if you get hooked... and maybe make it so you can pick yourself up. IDK, I just think it could be better without being broken.
It's like they're afraid to give survivors a good perk. I mean, all of the meta killer perks are leagues above the best survivor ones. BBQ and chilli is just a WGLF that is actually useful outside of BP stacking. I could go on and on about this crap, but rather than do that I'm just going to ask they fix Mettle of Man, PLEASE!
