The nerfed POP just makes me wanna quit the game. And that's not just it.
So i am a killer main and POP was pretty much all in my builds. It was one of my favourite if not my favourite killer perk. It removed good progress instantly and showed regression. Pretty effective perk. Now it's absolute garbage. It's only good if you have a generator in like 90+%. Sure i can try some Overcharge+Call Of Brine combo but it will never be the same. This one will be i will feel for quite alot of time while i still play DBD. If i don't quit before. Pain Res is also nerfed pretty badly. I really liked it for the information and now it gives no info anymore. So resuming. Solo queue is terrible. Killer has been buffed in general but i completely have to change my build and my 2 favourite perks got nerfed. Really demotivates me to even continue playing.

My man.
Try Jolt.
I have solved your problems. I promise.
Edit: Combo it with Scourge Hook: PR if that's the one for maximum gen ball kicking. Just your very existence deletes gen progress.
Pop was overnerfed a bit in my opinion, but there are enough other slowdown perks, and the extra 10 seconds of gen time definitely make a difference.
The idea of these perk changes was to change up the meta. But I do agree that Pop was overnerfed a bit. Killers are still much better off with all these baseline buffs they got however.
There are better alternatives now tbh.
I've always found Surge/Jolt more appealing than Pop and since S/J got buffed, you can try it out or even try the new Eruption.
If you enjoy gen kicking bring eruption + call of brine. It’s pretty insane regression
You still have jolt, eruption, call of brine, pain resonance, thanataphobia, overcharge, ruin, pentimento, deadlock, deadmans, corrupt, tinkerer and all the other gen slow perks. Try something new for a change lol
Both nerfs were pretty much needed. But hey, you can still stack 4 slowdowns to have some easy matches, while survivors are just crippled on anything worthwhile.
