Changing Leverage to a Slowdown Perk.
So currently Leverage is Bad and not truly rewarding. So I have a small suggestion. Why not make it punish people on gens if someone is hooked?
The way it could work is on the first hook of a survivor it adds a 5% slowdown on gen progression if someone is on hook. This can stack up to 20% for the final token, but only lasts while a survivor is on hook and maybe ten seconds after they are freed. It looses a token once a survivor dies. So it doesn’t become overwhelming to 3 or 2 mans.

This would be terrible. Because it would encourage camping.
Then add a caveat like Monstrous Shrine. Killer can’t be within 24 meters.
Then what would be the point? 5% slowdown isn't enough to matter. It means a 90 second gen now becomes a 94.7 second gen. And you are almost never going to have more than 1 or 2 stacks. And if you do, you already won anyway. Additionally, if you aren't camping, and this was actually strong enough to matter. Then survivors best play would be to try to go for the hook, which now means you won't find them on the gen, which now means the perk isn't really getting value.
To add slow down and encourage people to save their teammates. It also could help SoloQs not get left to die by 3Man SWFs. Could be pared will with FOR, MYC, and Hex: DH.
I edited my post, read it now. But 5% isn't enough, and if you make it stronger it doesn't really make it useful either.
You don't need "first hook" part, just 20% slowdown which gets reduction with less people would do the job just fine.
I mean it’s better than the garbage that Leverage is now. I rather slow down a gen for a bit even if it only adds 9 seconds onto it, then have a perk that needs 5 tokens to be effective.
I'm saying that the current one is bad, and so will your changes. The one thing leverage has going for it, is that it will stack with other forms of healing reduction. So it'll mean forever legion is probably back. lol.
it would be good perk with sloppy if duration was 45-60 sec. it might still be ok but 30 second is so low. big ouch.
And then it will be nerfed to stop that. Making it the No Mither of Killer perks.
It also has a 30 second time limit can requires other survivors to be injured to even be useful. Like it could work well with old Thana but that’s long since dead.
