Second chance perks punish fair play killer more than those killers they are supposed to punish

Let's just assume both killer and survivors are equally good. I wouldn't take games ended before gens into consideration because in such games it doesn't really matter whether killer got hit with seconds chances or not since he ended the game before gens anyway.

Basically, if you tunnel, slug and do other things that "oneshot" second chance perks are going to prevent and keep playing like that you don't lose much. You possibly lose some momentum, but you lose that momentum in early/midgame where it isn't critical much. You are also very likely to be in endgame, however you've already eaten most second chances and survivors don't have them by that time and you have 1-2 kills so far.

That's killer number 1 (K1)

But, if you play fair and your playstyle doesn't trigger second chance perks you are very likely to be in endgame against equally competent survivors with 1, maybe 2 kills at BEST. None second chance perks were used yet.

That's killer number 2 (K2)

  • K1 can freely slug or "tunnel" survivors in endgame since he'd already powered through second chance perks earlier.
  • K1 will never face "got hit with DS when grabbing the survivor from unhooking action, lost both survivors" or "survivor used unbreakable and opened gates/escaped when I was chasing other survivor in endgame" or "survivor freely crawled out exit gates bc he had DS" situations and so on.
  • K1 will not lose a kill because survivors used saved up second chance perks.
  • K2 will have to deal with situations described above.
  • K2 will lose kills because he is forced into lose-lose situation created by second chance perks he didn't got hit earlier because he played "fair".

Second chance perks punish fairplay killers more, than they punish actual playstyle they are supposed to punish.

  • You purposely eat DS now and you don't have to worry anymore about that survivor stabbing you. If you are good, you ate DS when it hurts you least.
  • You baited out unbreakable when its activation wouldn't end you perfect 4 slug or allow that survivor to sabotage you in any way

and so on.
