My thoughts on perks in general

I think instead of benefits alone perks should also give a hinder to your character.

Right now we have perks like Self Care and BBQ that both give 2 benefits to your character wich is why in my opinion makes them the most used perks.

Self Care
Benefit - Heal yourself without a medkit at 50% the normal healing speed.
Benefit - Increases the efficiency of Med-Kit self-heal by 10/15/20 %.

I think in this case the benefit from self-healing with a Med-Kit should be turned into a hinder of -10/-15/-20 % instead.

BBQ
Benefit - Aura reading after hooking a survivor
Benefit - Additional experience per survivor hooked.

Again 2 benefits and no hinders.

I think by making perks have both benefits and hinders the game will be better. A quick example could be a perk for totems.

Totem perk
Benefit - You see how many totems there are left on the HUD (Like generators)
Hinder - You cant cleanse Hex totems.

    Well apparently some time soon, perk like self care will hinder your team because it will take longer to heal them. Also they are increasing the healing time so self care will take even longer to heal.
