Anybody played against Blood Echo ?
So Blood Echo. This sound like a perk that could be decent on killers that tend to keep the survivors injured a lot... Maybe. I've started experimenting with it on Legion for instance, but its one of thoses perks where its really hard to tell how much it actually affect the survivors.
I don't play survivor as much as I play killer so I've yet to face anyone using Blood Echo myself. Has anybody out there faced that perk and felt it made any difference ? I'm moslty interested in the 45 seconds exhaustion effect. The Hemorrhage part is just bloody useless (pun intended).

Yes, seems decent on Plague and high rank Legion.

Waste of a perk slot

Oh, makes sense if survivors don’t cure their disease. They run around broken all match, thereby CHOOSING to be susceptible to this perk.

I wish it did more then just exhaust and make them bleed more. Maybe it could also cause broken on everyone injured for 20 seconds or something as well

I haven't gone against this perk, and I doubt I will because everyone knows it's bad. Hemorrhage is useless, and exhaustion only lasts 45 seconds and only after hooking someone. There's no reason to use Blood Echo over the meta perks.

Most people don't heal against them.

It's only use is to prevent Dead Hard basically. Been forced to use it on Oni and that is the only thing I've noticed. It's a bad perk, don't use it unless you're going for Adept Oni.

Dont forget guys, they slapped a brainless cooldown on blood echoes.

I appreciate the comments, but I'm specificly asking for feedback from players who have faced the perk. Not theorycrafting, opinions or changes suggestions.
I know the hemorrhage part is irrelevant, thats not what I'm interested about. I want to know about the exhaustion effect. Exhaustion perks are one of the biggest survivor's crutches and 45 seconds is not an insignificant amount (unlike the 3 seconds of Minbreaker...).
So the basic question is: Have you played against a killer using Blood Echo, while running an exhaustion perk and do you think it made any impact ?

Honestly, I've been surprised at how annoying it is to go against. I wouldn't have thought it as very effective either, and as killer you'll never know in a chase whether or not they were exhausted before the chase began. But man, playing as survivor, even if you don't get chased before your exhaustion goes away, forces you to walk everywhere for 45 seconds if you want it to be back up before the killer comes. Particularly if you're using balanced landing or head on, it takes the perk that turns dangerous players like long drops that will stagger you and lockers into safe perks, and disables it. So if you get found... yeah.
Its one of those things where you will never think it makes that big of a difference as killer, but if your purpose is to annoy survivors, then its a very good perk.

Your last sentence sums Blood Echo up perfectly. It's great if your goal is to be annoying, like Mindbreaker can be annoying. But annoyance is far from effective.

Yeah,it delayed like 2 Sprint Bursts

I guess the perk is just too underplayed to get much feedback. I'll have to ask survivors in the end game chat if they feel like talking. 😕

I guess, it's one of those underplayed and underrated perks, because as killer you hardly see if it does anything good for you.
I had several games, where I was a bit surprised how quick I could down survivors. After the game I realized that it could be Blood Echo doing it's job as they could not use their exhaustion perks. But I didn't ask them in the chat, so I will never know.
I think it's similar to M&A for example. It's hard to see the effect as the killer, but the effect is there and it's helpful.
