I mean sometimes when playing a killer for the first time or after not playing them for awhile I'll play without add ons and sometimes without perks in order to get a feel for the Killers baseline limits.

My theory is that just like any food source, hope is finite for the entity. It slowly bites off chunk after chunk off a survivors soul, and as stated in the lore this progressively turns them into emotionless husks. The trauma, the anguish, the desperation, it basically breaks them down into mindless hopeless zombies the entity ceases to have a use for and discards them. I Don't think the entity is inefficient as much as it is aware that humans are in indefinite supply, and can be replaced easily with its universally god like power. If there was a smaller quantity of humans the entity could utilize, it would likely be MUCH more efficient in how it consumed hope.

See your explanation makes the Entity look competent but I really like the idea it's own alien nature screws over it's ability to get what it wants. It's so rare in fiction to have an evil god that just straight up can't comprehend humanity in a believable sense. They always seem to know the right thing to say or do to break people despite supposedly being alien. I want the Entity to be so inhuman it literally has not idea how to achieve it's goals solely because it's goals involve humans and it can't comprehend them.

I don't think people complain because it is hard to play against but rather frustrating caused by the on demand nature of the perk.
Dead hard is the only on demand exhaustion perks. Balanced landing needs a drop, lithe a vault und Sprintbürste to not run until activation. The first two need the survivor to plan ahead with their patching to get the speed boost and sprint burst is either activated immediately or the survivor has to 99 their exhaustion and be able to keep it that way until the burst is needed which also takes skill and concentration. Dead hard (for distance) on the other hand is similar to death slingers instant shot, always available and right in the face of the opposition.
Of course the "dodging a hit" aspect takes skill in form of timing but gets more than enough screwed by latency. And before anybody comes again with "sprint burst has a longer speed buff", like i said in most cases sb has to be either hold for on demand or used instantly for full effect.
Now a killer can instantly decide to drop the chase and.let the survivor "waste" the sb (they still got away but the killer didn't waste much time). With dead hard the killer has to first invest time for a chase for the first injure Hit and then a second chase for the down. Some penguin mentioned that the killer could also simply brake off the chase after the survivor successfully used dead hard for distance but that means that something close to a minute was wasted to get the survivor just injured against no time wasted by making them sb away.
I don't care either way but this is my take on why people don't like dead hard so much and why it is the most run exhaustion perk overall.

I can't believe you answered my silly post so seriously, you sir are the real MvP.

Yui still owns her motorcycle but it's engine has become a tangled Eldritch thing that she can't get to work. She believes if she can fix it she can ride outta here.

Here's another one: survivors occassionally steal furniture from trials usually small things but occassionally they cordinate to obtain bigger stuff. Which means occassionally killers are left to stare bemusedly as they are distracted so a survivor can hustle a lawn chair or something through the exit gates.

First movie, not to be confused with Jason who ate a dog in the second movie.
