For those who asked for obsession every game..
You want to prevent tunnelling. Yes tunnelling sucks, I get it.
But let’s ask one question. Is it SO DAMN HARD to bring 1 DS out of 16 perk slots??
And don’t give arguments of DS being useless or no one brings it in solo queues. It’s FAR FROM USELESS. With just one DS it already forces killers to respect it and not tunnel. Even in solos where all other teammates don’t bring it, you yourself can bring it to force an obsession. Why is it so hard??
Asking for obsession basekit is basically asking DS to be basekit. This is very impactful and it’ll shifts the balance of whole game. Survivors will have more slots to put more second chance perks, and killer has to respect it. It’ll create a scenario where killer is against 20 perks because he respects DS but nobody brings it.
Unless there is a overall killer-equivalent buff, obsession base should not be a thing right now.

This game is not designed to play “fair” for killers.
Often when you play “fairly”, you’re rewarded with losing the game and sometimes trash talk.
That’s literally my point. DS is no longer god mode, and now survivors are switching to other broken perks, but still doesn’t want killers to tunnel, essentially asking DS basekit.
We already have a perk for it. Decisive strike
Right. I don't run DS often but when I do the killer will eat the DS and proceed to tunnel until death hook. Either that or I am not running DS so they think it's also a freebie to tunnel. Also against a killer like Nurse or Huntress it doesn't waste their time at all aside from the 5 second stun.
If you seriously lack the brain cells to understand what I'm trying to say or to understand how the devs collect their data and assess the changes they make, there is no hope for you and I'm done with this convo because it's going nowhere.
It is still a second-chance Perk.
I know exactly what you are after and how they collect their data, and if they do their job then their data will show that nobody is using the perk or they were safe enough to do a gen or heal.
I see no issue and neither should they.
We have an anti tunnel perk. It is called Decisive strike. What survivors want is a FU killer perk where they can do what they want, when they want and not be punished for it.
Again that's NOT what I'm trying to say, example: with your logic we wouldn't have more than one exhaust, aura, or healing perk because why would we need more than one?
Now that DS is nerfed they will see all this gameplay that is going to be considered stale ,repetitive, and unrewarding for both sides, they aren't against tunneling but I'm sure they don't want every single game to involve that sort of gameplay and the more people that advocate for that and ######### on survivors on the here and tell them "just run DS" are gonna be the ones who get them buffed it never fails with this company, and when it happens I swear I'm gonna come back here and copy all these comments your saying and start posting them on your new complaint threads.
The problem is that not bringing DS (an anti-tunnel perk) or another obsession perk directly encourages tunneling. Survivors therefore not only don't have the benefit of DS, but are actually further punished for not using it.
In solo queue you have no idea what perks the other survivors are using. If they're on a different platform to you, you can't even ask. So the question really is "Do I want to bring DS with me every game or risk there being no obsession and therefore encourage tunneling".
I've used DS I believe once since its nerf. The amount of solo games I've played with no obsession is really frustrating. Are we really at the point where killers are telling us to bring DS? There's got to be something wrong with that logic.
we had over 3 years of survivors happily using this perk in every game. If they keep running it and use it correctly then killers won't tunnel.
Nothing has changed, the problem is survivors are pouting and want their toy back.
Ik got a slatly swf a 4 probably over 20 and all mad because they farmed in my face didn't have bt or body block so w went after the saved person instant dc
My first response was run ds. That was a match in a gas tank all 4 said fu we shouldn't have to run ds its nerfed
My instantaneous response was I shouldn't have to run ruin and if you had ds I wouldn't of been able to hook you
After that I stopped listening they were so mad for like 20 min
making obsession every game would make ds useless
For the people also creates an obsession and it's from an original character. If people want there to be an obsession, but don't want to spend a few bucks to get laurie, they can use shards to get zarina.
