I always thought it could be cool if brutal strength changed the current, locked animation to a one similar to gens that you need to fully complete to take effect, could make it useful for faking out a kick. I know some killers are exceptions, but most killers break a pallet with 2 kicks, could maybe also make it so if you do one of those kicks the damage saves and you can leave the pallet, only to come back and destroy it with one more kick. Could be interesting.
Buffing the numbers could be too much because, from what I understand, in competitive it's considered pretty damn good. Making it to 50% (Decreasing the time to 66%) could result in it being one of the strongest passive perks across the board.
Brutal strength allows killers to break pallets, walls, and damage gens with basic attacks / lunges the killer has a cooldown of 2.4 seconds after doing so
this is in addition to brutal strengths current effects

Back when the default pallet break speed was roughly 3 seconds, Brutal Strength increased it by 40% so it was actually faster than how it is now.
If they increased it to 30%, that would be super close to what the pallet break speed for brutal strength was back then, so i could easily see it getting buffed to 30% without any problems.
Would be fun for the 50% break speed with fire up :)
Fire Up needs to be buffed before Brutal Strength, starting with some simple % increases...

Brutal Strength just isn't the first thing that comes to mind when I'm thinking about killer perks that need buffs. Insidious, Monstrous Shrine, perks like these have existed just as long as Brutal Strength has since the game has released, and have not aged anywhere near as well with the utility that Brutal Strength still has- even if you're of the mindset that it's not the greatest killer perk out there.

That sounds nice. Could be pretty fun.
I think 25% or even 30% is reasonable.

I like the idea of brutal strength being a mini pop goes te weasel, but i have another option:
you start with 15% of speed at breaking pallets, generators and breakable walls.
Everytime that you kick a generator or break pallet, you gain a token.
Each token gives you an extra 3% speed on doing those actions (15%-18%-21%)
This is capped up to 30%
So brutal strength will start being a little weaker, but if you stacks the tokens it will be more powerfull than the default 20%
Remember that i didnt put breaking walls an action to gain token bc that would be unbalanced on some maps, but the perk applies on them.
(sorry for grammar issues im learning english lol)
Buff it to 30%.
