Power struggle

I hope this perk gets nerfed it is broken and overpowered. What on earth were the devs thinking when they designed this perk. Devs what is this perk choice.

Meta builds incoming :

Power Struggle, Boil over, flip flop, unbreakable/saboteur. This is going to be overpowering this needs to be fixed.

Comments

  • I mean it can get MoM treatment and be made useless and Ill still use it as it fits better into my being slugged build of tenacity,Unbreakable Flip Flop than Head on does

  • This perk is garbage. Very situational meme perk.

    You have to be dumb as killer to fall for this.

  • I don't think Power Struggle is nearly as good as people think. It's highly situational, and if a killer downs you not at a pallet or just picks you up immediately, it's useless. It's another meme perk, it won't replace DS in it's current state.

    The only counter is keep away from Pallets which isn't always going to be the case.

  • Don't hook them, problem solved.

    I really don't understand how people think this perk is strong. It takes 2 perk slots for a weaker DS

    The only annoyance i have with this perk is that their is no way of knowing if it's in the game so it's just another thing that killers have to assume everyone has.

    If you're that worried about it, run infectious fright. Hear a scream chase that person and slug the other one, don't hear a scream just pick him up before flip flop can reach the 25% threshhold.

    Imo Powerstruggle is a meme perk and i would take that in favor of the current meta perks any day

  • No one going to waste 2-3 perk slots for this perk to work. IF the survivor is under the pallet.

    You have to be dumb as killer to walk over a pallet when carrying a survivor anyways.

    This perk is complete garbage.

  • Bruh the perk hasn't been released yet its on the PTB can we just wait till live before screaming that a situational perk that needs a build designated around it is op? Remember Any Means Necessary? Remember Soul Guard? Remember Head On? Everyone claiming these perks would be gamebreaking and OP and they'd quit the game if they went live because they're so strong and they did nothing for the meta?

    Calm down, wait for live, wait and see how it actually affects the meta. Spoiler: it won't.

    You should not go through Pallets in the first place anyway. Its not like Pallets become a risk just because of Power Struggle. The biggest impact it will have is that it will be another reason to not go through Pallets while carrying a Survivor.

    It will most likely not even be used.

  • There's nothing overpowered about Power Struggle. Does it have an unfair combo in Flip Flop? Yes. But unfair and OP are two very different things. It's not like DS/UB or Ruin/Undying. It's more like Soul Guard, or Spirit Fury.

  • I don't see a problem with it. Will it mean the Killer gets hit with a pallet on occasion? Yes. Is it avoidable? Yes. To do this build, which is definitely a niche build, you give up a lot of slots. Power to you. The Killer can do the following:

    1. Time downs for before or past the pallet.
    2. Leave the target slugged if under the pallet.
    3. Pick the person up really fast if nobody else is around before the combo can work.
    4. Don't walk under a pallet on the way to a hook.
    5. Take Perks that make getting hit by Pallets a very short stun and then just down the target again.
    6. At least for now, just Mori for laughs rather than pick people up (I'm sure that will irritate some people)

    I've already played against it as it is now in the play test. It wasn't a big deal. I think I got hit by it twice in a whole lot of matches. Both times I got greedy and wanted a shortcut to a hook, when just going around the pallet would have served me fine. And you know what? It was still just a pallet stun. They happen all the time. It didn't cost me the game.

    Ah sorry, I didn't know you were meant to ALWAYS be able to counter a perk.

    Also the perk is garbage. Try to learn from the past and stop crying about everything. It's always the same:

    1.PTB starts with garbage tier survivor perks.

    2.Killer mains come with the most complicated possible scenario to prove one of the perks is OP and the sky is falling again.

    3.6 months go by and no one uses the perks because they are trash.
