Should DS be like Nemesis? Why or why not?

Nemesis is a unique perk. It doesn't create an obsession at the start, but it WILL create one whenever the perk is procced.

Now there's DS, pretty much the only perk you yourself can bring to discourage the killer than tunnelling you, and it's an obsession perk. With the DS nerf, DS is a lot less common which means it's actually possible to have lobbies where the perk isn't used.

But here's one of the main strengths of DS: 1 DS means 4 DS's. If there is one, the killer has no choice but to assume there are 4. This means a single Obsession perk (not even DS specifically) meant the killer could not tunnel without putting themselves at risk.

But now that DS is less common and most other obsession perks rank from niche to not very good, this means that this protection is gone. If there is no Obsession, the killer is free to tunnel you until you die because there is no consequence.

With DS being nerfed and being much less abusable, would changing DS to be more like Nemesis and not create an Obsession until it's procced be reasonable? Why or why not?

    I agree. I would also like DS to be paused on chases and trigger each time the survivor is unhooked. Sure it’s an anti-tunnelling perk but I feel like it isn’t anti-tunnel enough.

    In conjunction, the DS timer should expire when the Survivor is fully healed.
