So the the perks of the survivors

The killer perks are decent, could a tiny bit better (and worded better...)


But the survivors? Its like they didn't even try to come up with unique perks

Cleanse a totem and just hide in a locker just to heal? Sound so lazily made, no effort

That HoT perk with Steven? Such a wasted perk design, could have been that chance to implemented for the insta heals to be finally balanced, with out having to be outside of the TR of course. But no, they just half band-aid something else again while still keeping the insta heals the same.

Survivors PAUSE, not add but just completely pause the struggle timer for the survivors on hook when they are near? I know this is suppose to "Help against camping killers" but it just sounds like a perk that punishes killers that play fair, if anything, this perk just enforces camping and tunneling. Its already bad enough when a survivor is one or two seconds away from getting sacrifice and then saved last second, now this perk just ensures they don't at all.


Now before anyone go does a Keyboard Warrior moment and ends up wasting time on something I already know, YES I do know that they are subject to change, but what just bothers me is how they even came up with some of these or how lazy some of these were made.

    Are you trolling?


    In all seriousness they may have made the HoT perk to see how it performs before changing the addons ---> this is okay.... the hook perk is something for the inexperienced/brown ranks----> which again is fine... but all these perks imo are unique and are designs that open the door for new ideas...

    They don't need to make a perk just to see how something works, that's just wasted resources and time, they can literately make a PTB which is completely separate from the main game and change the addons there and see what happens, they don't need to make something into a perks just to see something else, makes zero sense.

    And your second point sound okay at first thought, but this has already been discuses before hand, especially around ranked games. While it may help lower ranked players, just imagine how more powerful the perk should not be when it gets carried over to the high rank. DS was suppose to help lower ranks, but when it got carried over to the high ranks, look what happened, adrenaline was to help lower ranks, but look what happened when it got into the red ranks, MoM when it was first released was suppose to help the low rank players, but in gods name look what happened when red rank players got hands on it, totally got abuse for how overpowered it was. This is why ranked based games balance around the high ranks, because anything that gets made for the low ranks, gets stupidly far more powerful then it should be in the high ranks, and low ranks that try to use what high ranker user use, don't know how to use it and is look upon as weak. That's why anything that is given to the lower rank players are usually something that help the low ranks players only and causes little impact when it gets used in the high ranks, basically starter stuff.

    I feel like they’re made more for beginners. The perks for all the upcoming characters seem underwhelming and as if they were just designed with low ranks.

    I in all honesty think Second Wind is overhyped and actually a weaker version of Solidarity.

    Maybe they did change insta heals in this upcoming update, we dont know because all the changes haven't been released I'm just stating possibilities.... for the hooked perk I dont see it being that popular in red ranks nor do i see it even coming close to being as powerful as adrenaline..

    What the ######### do you have against pebble? Just because the perk is in the meta doesn’t mean you get to ######### on it like that. Not cool, dude

    If they changed insta heals I'll stick around another year lol....


    In all seriousness if they changed em to like when the survivor is on death hook maybe that'd be better...
