Fogwise & Potential Energy
Are people really complaining saying these 2 perks are OP? Soon as survivors get good perks people say they too OP or need to be nerfed, while killers have so many OP perks as it is. Look what they did to the boon totems, yal complained about those and they nerfed that to the ground js.

please do name the OP perks that killers have, and when we say OP : i mean they can change the game drastically and require 0 skills
beside eruption, i will be waiting
If by "boon totems" you specifically mean Circle of Healing, that actually was OP.
As for Fogwise and Potential Energy, I think you're probably right that anyone complaining about the latter is being a little touchy. It seems strong, but by no means overpowered. Fogwise might be different, though- I've been meaning to test it myself but on paper it sounds very strong.
Constant aura reading on the killer is a very strong effect, especially when you're on comms with people. It's worth investigating, at least.
i actually kinda disagree with the SWF part
if u are in SWF u don't even need this perk (fogwise), there is alert which i use and i find it very useful and balanced
potential energy is a 50/50 since u lose tokens if u get hit, but still a free 20% on that gen that the killer has been pressuring for so long, is not something that would be balanced, not saying it needs to be changed imo its fine, but fogwise needs at least a 5 seconds cooldown or 10
People have been saying random survivor perks are OP for years...and then no one ever uses them.
Erup... dangit
Survivors don’t have constant aura reading with Fogwise. It isn’t Object of Obsession.
They don't have constant aura reading with OoO, either, it's a slight embellishment.
What they have with Fogwise is very consistent aura reading, as it's only held back by how frequently skill checks spawn. One guy hugging generators can give pretty consistent information as to where the killer is at basically all times if they're good enough at hitting skill checks, which isn't that hard.
Personally speaking I think Fogwise is probably fine. I just don't think it's absurd to question its design, since the more consistently you can read the killer's aura, the stronger that effect is.
If it’s reliant on skill check spawns by nature it isn’t consistent, as these are random. Additionally, Fogwise requires successful great skill checks to proc aura-reads. I use it with Stakeout but I have yet to see a killer’s aura more than a few times (as in three) while taking a Gen from 0 to 100%. There are more efficient aura-reading-killer-tracking perks for survivors.
If Fogwise is OP then you could say Blood Amber is OP. Blood Amber is far more reliable and works in end game.
