The Fact that Decisive Strike get's deactivated in the Endgame is just stupid
So, yesterday I had the same scenario a few times and it's absolutely stupid. I am playing a bloodpoint build because I want to hit the 2 Millionen Mark before the new Bloodweb Update goes life.
So I bring Decisive Strike, Deliverance, Prove Thyself and Kindred
The gens where completed pretty quickly since the killer chased one survivor for the whole match. So the end game starts and the survivor get's hooked, I trade with them since the killer Camps him. Then I get unhooked and.....Decisive Strike is deactivated because it's the endgame and I get tunneled again.
I don't understand how this change is fair. So the survivors gets punished because the killer wasn't able to spread pressure or hook me before?
Decisive Strike works only 1 time, is only activated for 60 seconds and deactivats itself anyway when you do a Action. Why this stupid "It's the end game so your perk is worthless" crap?

well yeah, but killer isnt gonna just give up, and they shouldnt. that makes the game less fun if one side gives up after a certain point
I don't think so either you can not give up without tunneling
but if you dont tunnel in endgame after a bad game, you will lose
I’m gonna go ahead give a different opinion. Pretty much the only argument I have seen is “it guarantees a free escape in endgame.” No, it doesn’t. You have to ACTUALLY REACH ENDGAME first. All DS does is secure the win once you reach that gamestate. If you hadn’t used it yet all game, you’re effectively giving up a perk slot to ensure that once you reach endgame, the killer can’t just facecamp you to death.
Much like my disdain for hatch being a pity escape, disabling DS and OtR feels like BHVR giving killers a pity kill, but it feels much worse for the survivor who is forced to “lose” so that the killer can get his guaranteed 1k (assuming they’re playing a killer with a chase power).
DS was disabled because people were dicks with it. If someone with DS got to the exit gate, they would sit there and do what every single survivor does. Teabag. They would do it the entire time they were in there, and if you downed them and picked them up, they stunned you, Teabagged for the entire six seconds you were stunned, and leave. And they did this because the game was literally unwinnable as killer if this situation came up.
DS should have only been nerfed by removing its ability to be used during EGC explicitly to put a stop to this ######### behavior.
