Play With Your Food: Suggestion
Pre-Prologue: Key Information
For those who don't know, Play With Your Food is abbreviated as PWYF.
Prologue: Core Problems
PWYF has always been a hard to use perk because stacks are hard to keep and time consuming to earn. Therefore, the killer must make good use of the perk or else the perk isn't worth the time and perk slot.
My goal is to make the perk easier to use for the killer but more fair to all survivors. 😁🤗
Play With Your Food
Giving your prey false hope also gives you power.
Become Obsessed with a survivor.
Missing an attack on your Obsession activates this perk for 40/50/60 seconds.
While this perk is activated, you and the Obsession gain a 5% haste effect.
Once the perk deactivates, haste effect on this perk is strengthened by 2% up to a maximum of 10% and the perk can be reactivated.
The killer can only be obsessed with one survivor at a time.
Reviewing Things
The perk gives a 5% buff that gradually increases to 15% the more you activate the perk.
If the Obsession isn't careful, they will end up giving the killer too much power and can end up making other survivors waste more pallets or eat hits faster. The Obsession will know the killer has this perk because they will be notified when they receive a haste effect from PWYF and thus, know to not get involved in too many chases. 😁🤗
Concerns: Need Community Help
I don't know if 60 seconds is a balanced amount of time, so I will need input from the community, preferably those who plays both roles, to tell me if this is okay or not! 😁
Epilogue
Hopefully, y'all will like the basic concept and if you don't like the numbers, constructive feedback is appreciated! ❤

I think you should only lose your stacks after you down a Survivor, it’d be nice to have a perk that synergies with every Killer even The Legion.
Pair this with Unrelenting and let the good times roll!
Also yes @FairP1ayer Legion needs more perk Synergy since this new patch will rip alot of what they had away. Buffs don't make up for that, even if the pallet Vault is Sexy. They need to remove Deep Wound from Legion's power as a start for a full rework.
I actually like the current PWYF the only issue have always been the stacks that's why this perk is good with LF , Myers and ghostface.
I think that the stacks should not be depleted from missing a hit for start. After for how to keep stacks and how to gain them more easily i have no idea yet.
I think that this can be a good update to the perk. The questions i have are:
How close does the killer need to be with a survivor to count as a miss attack? Like 4 meters?
How the the perk lose stacks?By hitting the Obsession? Knocking one survivor down? Or it keeps it until the Obsession is dead?
Gaining stacks, can you keep missing the obsession to gain stacks in the same chase or does it need to be in a different one?
Besides these questions I like the Haste percentages and the time for how long it activates for, sounds nice.
Having a build of NoEd, Unrelenting, (Your Version)PWYF and (place holder) can be very strong.
How close does the killer need to be with a survivor to count as a miss attack? Like 4 meters?
I didn't want to put a value, but 4 meters seem fair to me. 😁

You don't lose stacks because the perk is on a 40/50/60 second timer. Once you whiff at the Obsession, you and the Obsession gains a haste effect until the timer expires.
Gaining stacks, can you keep missing the obsession to gain stacks in the same chase or does it need to be in a different one?
You need to wait for the haste timer to expire before you can gain stacks again (by entering a chase with the Obsession and whiffing).
