Which perks are still unplayably weak?
The last perk update was impressive, turning a lot of perks from wasted space on the Bloodweb into useful options, but there's several more that need the same treatment, and I'm wondering which ones most players think those are.
I thought of this because there are two perks I've refused to buy the teachable versions for, since I don't want them wasting perk spots in my other characters' Bloodwebs. Those would be Bill's Left Behind and Pig's Surveillance. I doubt there'll be much argument about how pointless those two perks are, but which other perks are that bad these days?

I mean there are really bad perks, perks that are very situational or perks that could be replaced by something else. I consider the following perks as really bad and wouldn't use them in any way.
Survivors
Botany Knowledge
No one left behind
Dark sense
Left behind
This is not happening
Streetwise
Wake up
Deja vu
Killers
Beast of prey
Overwhelming presence
Thanatophobia
Iron grasp
Monstrous shrine
Unrelenting
Fire up
Hangman's trick
Surveillance
Dark Sense allows you to know where the Killer is coming from after you complete a generator, which is great for stealth players.
Deja is pretty decent to avoid the famous 3 gen strat.
A few of those could use some buffs.
I find it's pretty easy to do without the perk, though. Find a few close together, go for the middle one first, or alternatively, once one generator goes off, try to get one on the opposite side of the map.
Its not hard to avoid it but for new players deja vu can be a life saver.
You would be surprised how many times the killer loses 4 gens on me and yet he still has 3 gens in ~20 meters and usually gets a 2k-3k when he played it badly.
As i said the perk is decent not for high rank survivors.
Prove Thyself (unless coupled with Leader)
Vigil (after exhaustion nerf)
Deja Vu
Saboteur
Sole Survivor
Left Behind
No Mither (still run it from time to time for the extra challenge and bonuses when combined with other perks)
Hope
Sprint Burst
Dark Sense
Boil Over
Killer:
Bitter Murmur
Hex: Devour Hope
Hex: Huntress Lullaby
Beast of Prey
Tinkerer
Thanataphobia
Surveillance
Hangmans Trick
Hex: The Third Seal
Play With Your Food
Shadowborn
Fire Up
Edit: By including Sprint Burst in here, I'm not saying it's underpowered or anything. I just hate this perk and personally prefer Dead Hard and Balanced Landing.
Deja Vu is quite good now, Botany is OK with Self Care, and Hangman's is good on Trapper.
LOL reading my own post made me realize something.
No one left behind, left behind, this is not happening, wake up could be a pretty good meme build.
Botany Knowledge, Streetwise, and Wake up are good perks!
Jep, but Deja was always to be intended to be a beginner perk. You know one of these perks, that people start using when they begin the game, until they realized, that they unlocked or gained better perks, that only an advanteg user can handle. And now it even works as such. That's why I would say the perk is fine.
Same counts for current Unrelenting. It's a beginner perk in my eyes and it works well as such.
I'd say that Play with your Food isn't very strong since downing one person already almost removes the perk and you only get tokens when letting the obsession go. It should be that you only lose tokens when hitting your obsession like Save the Best for Last
You wrote weak wrong.
All support perks are weak af. They need to give at least a speed bonus of 50%. For example if someone wants to use Botany Knowledge and Prove Thyself to boost his SC healing speed to medkit lvl, then i´m totally ok with that.
Support perks need to be strong.
I always thought of Streetwise for your own use only..... And i like Wake Up! It's useful when you are being chansed and need a direction to go
