Really wish there was more perks that rewarded you for hooking
I know there are a few already but most are pretty bad as far as usefulness, for example bbq is only good for bp and dying light is well awful. How about some new ones that are interesting and beneficial?
After hooking a survivor:
Gain 5% haste for X seconds
The generator with the most progress explodes and regresses 5%
See the progress of all generators through the intensity of their aura for X seconds
All survivor actions are slowed by X% for X seconds
Just some idea to encourage hooking over slugging and to reward killers going after many hooks every match. Just another insensitive to move from the hook and go for the 12 hooks etc.
Comments
Pop Goes The Weasel lets you gen kick for instant progress loss.
Blood Echo makes injured survivors bleed harder.
Blood Warden closes the exit gates.
Dead Man's Switch stops generators.
Hooking powers Devour Hope.
Hooking powers the Lullaby.
As stated above, there are quite a few perks to reward hooking. There are also perks that reward downs and pickups, such as Surge and Thrilling Tremors.
Hooking with devour actually does give a speed boost if I’m not mistaken.
Pop is 25% very little if players do gens
Blood echo is pointless
Blood warden people 99 gates so pointless and it's a one time use
Dead man's doesn't allow for gen regression, actually stops ruin and pop from being used plus its obsession hook only
Devour and lullaby are nice but hexs which can be spawned on at game start or right next to gens
It does but it's also a hex, I personally love the speed boost from it at 2 tokens but I dont care about the rest and hexs are lost way to easy
I mean ones that are useful, half of the perks are near pointless and do nothing to actually help, they're always locked behind cool downs and requirements or a luck factor of rng hex spawns. Other than pop, which really isn't strong what perk rewards you for hooking without limitations or hexs?
Pop is useless? That's why 90% of killers run it.
Blood Echo is useless? it makes sure the next person you chase isn't going to be able to Lithe/DH/BL
Blood Warden is pointless? Down the survivor; open the gate yourself and then hook them.
Devour & Lullaby are literally OP now that Undying was changed...
Sounds to me like you have a hard time starting and ending chases quick.
Surge is really good in my opinion. A perk's use will always depend on the killer you play, however. What killers do you usually play?
So what I am getting from this thread is that there are plenty of perks that do what you are asking for, it's just that none of them are good enough for you.
Blood echo has a cooldown and only works if multiple survivors are injured which can be very hard to achieve.
Bloodwarden is very situational and is not guaranteed to work most of the time during the end game.
DMS's regression is usually less than 45 seconds and it only works if you hook the obsession, not anyone else.
Devour and lullaby die within the first 30 seconds of the match and require at least 3 hooks to become decent, you will most likely lose it before you can get good use out of it.
I personally enjoy running MYC on my Nurse :P
