Furtive Chase and other useless perks.
We have seen a lot of quality of life updates to useless perks like sloppy butcher, deja vu, spies from the shadows and no one left behind (its actually good now) ect. Those are perks me and many other players already mentioned on forum. Could we have some more?
Furtive Chase - it literally servers no purpose now that we have Nemesis. Lower terror radius is okayish but tokens are gone once obsession dies. Why even bother with this perk? Since the tokens are gone fast how about killer getting aditional 1% movement speed during the chase per token? Its up to 4 and i don't think its too powerful but at least thats some kind of reward for not tunneling and "playing the game right".
Monstrous shrine: This perk is so bad... 9% Entity progression speed is bad but 10seconds less on the hook for 1 survivor is... not good, bute hey its 10 seconds, but other 2 atributes are completely useless! If survivor starts to kobe immediately he has 3 tries with and without MS active. Why even increasing the penalty when it doesn't really do anything? Reduced chances, it affects chances multiplicatively so it does nothing either since base chance is 4%. Even Otz was trying this perk and someone kobed in basement right into his face when he was delighted that MS will actually be useful for once. Hilariously bad perk!
My proposition: Increase stats so survivors only have 2 attempts and reduce chances by 50%. Survivors would see icon of MS (just like trappers honing stone icon for example) so they know they shouldn't try to kobe but they still can.
It would still be bad perk but at least it would do anything it was designed to do. Chance reduction would mean survivors have 2% and 2 attempts and deliverance user would have 50% chance. It still gives like 75% to escape with deliverance but now it would actually have a chance to counter deliverance. It would actually be exciting to know that deliverance can fail but still pulling this of.
Do you have propositions for other useless perks? Beast of prey maybe? Maybe some survivor perks, but i think they patched the last useless one beeing no one left behind.

Beast of prey can be a great perk on certain maps/loops. I actually recommend it on the Nurse, the domgorgon and the spirit, as they all rely on surprise attacks and often the red stain can give the survivors an extra half a second or so.
@CheersTC I don't know man, bloodlusting a loop is waste of time most of the times (unless its near hook or hatch i guess). You can hide red stain by looking other direction. Just not worth a perk slot when you could put i'm all ears if you struggle with loops (because hiding red stain wont't help you on loops you can see through anyway).
It could give like 10/15/20% faster bloodlust gain or something, but just hiding red stain during bloodlust is super crap. Or maybe make it activateable, you press a button and loose it for couple of seconds, that i would consider using.
Also bloodlust on Spirit and Nurse?
???
Edit: Ah yes Nurse have this weird addon that disables blink and gives her movement speed for 60s, it can work as surprise factor in this one case but why playing Nurse if not going for blinks?
Truth be told, beast of prey is useable (it used to be super ######### for years) but i would never use it over any perk except monstrous shrine.
I'm not good at spirit or nurse so my chases tend to be long...rank 12 nurse and rank 9 spirit, 2 of my lowest 3.
@CheersTC Nurse can't get bloodlust if she blinks afaik. If it works for you on Spirit try tinkerer or i'm all ears. I don't think you would come back to bop ever after that :D.
Wait, you cant get bloodlust from teleporting.
All this time I could've been using something much better...
I'm off to the bridge.
@CheersTC Haha that's me exactly in many other games :). Good luck in your trials now.
You too
Added rant on monstrous shrine.
