Whispers could have its haste increase

The new whispers buffs is good, but not good enough for it to to be worth on equipping

I definitely think increasing it by an extra 5 percent might actually make this perk worth running, giving low mobility killers explore around the map faster

    yeah i think 10% would be good for helping m1s get in range of people

    I don't think it does cuz it would just power creep batteries, I think it's already stronger than batteries included.

    Combining them is not the best idea as diminishing returns exist.

    I would say batteries is already not great, but it has something over whispers, which is it can be used in chase!
    It may not be always, but those 5% matter a lot more in a chase than outside of one, and whispers is specifically made to never work in chase. It would not be a problem at all to buff whispers haste, since map mobility tools like that are severely lacking.

    There is also a case for making the batteries haste bigger again now that diminishing returns exist, but thats for another PTB.

    It's out of chase and out of range. As long as it doesn't linger it can easily be 20 % and still be fairly balanced.

    Here is the mathematical breakdown:

    Travelling 100 meters with a 4.6 m/s killer takes 21.7 seconds.

    Travelling 100 meters with a 5.06 m/s killer (which is 10% haste) takes 19.8 seconds.

    Unless you give it an insane number buff, it really isn't that valuable even with your proposed buff. Please also keep in mind that it will have a very small uptime throughout the match when you account for approaching active generators and leaving survivors on the hook. I doubt that anytime after the first chase you will ever travel 100 meters with full uptime of this perk outside of hatch scenarios.

    That's true. It can be 30 % and still ok because you can't abuse it. Fair point.
