Is Spies from the Shadows Good Now?
After its pretty significant buff in the recent patch, is SFTS a decent tracking perk now?

I'd say so. Considering, sometimes, killers will not think twice if a crow in their immediate area is tripped because they assume it's them (this is what I've seen, of course), then I'd say it's a significant change to the perk, making it far more viable.
But that's just me.
The buff is indeed a huge, but the effectiveness of the perk will be affected by what map you play. As some maps have crows galore and others have very scarce crow placements.
Hey it's the Hag streamer person!

Crow spawns are wildly inconsistent based on map. It's much, much better now but the strength varies from "perfectly tracking a Survivor across the map" to "never activating once throughout the entire match."
Its range of effect needs to be global or much larger. With its limited range it's still just outclasses by other perks that do similar things.
The perk itself is actually great on the way it works... but the problem is that it's "okay-ish" in basically 20% of the maps, rendering it too much niche.
