This is actually a great idea but it has too many requirements to make it work out. I do agree with the statement that the meta could use some changes. Besides, the devs are running out of good perk ideas.
Hey notionely - thanks for your reply :)
I do think it may have a big outlay to get it balanced and implemented in the first place, but this will surely be off-set once it's up and running.
It'd be interesting to see if they do eventually stop adding perks to the game. I think I would be gutted if they did, but as you say surely there's only so many more things they can add.

I'd love for the meta to be shaken up too and admittedly I still like this idea but I just don't trust BHVR enough to maintain something like that and I'm sure they probably won't shift away from their current system anytime soon if at all. If it works though I'm content with the current system for now.
Hey again Dustin :)
It's strange because it does seem like looking through the forums there are a lot of people asking for changes to perks and builds. I do think it would need to be something that would need to be monitored and adjusted and it may take a lot of initial work to get it going, but I really think something like this could help with the overall health and longevity of the game.
BHVR asking for community feedback from the DS change made me think that they are slowly becoming a bit more inclined to improve their communication with their players for the betterment of the game.
I'm hoping once the game little more stable and the 5th anniversary is said and done, it could be something they could add to their road-map.

Would no mither be -1 then XD.
Just joking, but this idea seems good in theory, but in practice it's not so great.
Killers would stear away from certain perk dependant killers (legion, clown, Myers, pig for a few) and more towards reliable and consistent killers (nurse, spirit, hag). Again, lack of diversity in killers would become apparent and the norm.
Survivors need most those second chances or meta perks because they need them to counter certain things. Iron will for spirit and stealth gameplay, calm spirit for doctor or IF, DS against tunneling, UB to pair with Ds. That sort of thing.
Hey ilovedbd123 - thanks for your reply :)
If you can make No Mither work for you, you can have 20 perk points haha! :')
I get what you mean about perk-dependent killers, but surely that's a fundamental problem with the design of those killers themselves? That may make them more likely to consider them for re-works. I do agree with the diversity of killers, especially at higher ranks. Nothing quite like 10 matches against Freddy in a short space of time to make me play a different game.
There's still the possibility of survivors and killers being able to choose certain perk combinations - it would all be dependent on what the values land on I guess for the perk points. I think even if it this change made people use 2/3 Meta perks and 1/2 non-meta perk that could be enough of a change to mix gameplay up a little?

I suggested this a while ago but ultimately I came to the conclusion that this requires the devs to fully understand what the meta is and why. I feel that would be too much maintenance for them to maintain. To clarify they would need to understand the value of perks and why. But seeing as though stuff like Gearhead gets nerfed out of the PTB I don't trust them fully to do it quickly and reliably.
Granted the purpose of this would be to bypass 4 perks to have 5 as an example but the thing is I don't realistically see that happening so other than that I see no point personally. I don't see it being a fun mechanic to have this imposed specifically to restrict survivors and killers to less perks if the ones they chose are just naturally strong. That's just my two cents though.
Hey Dustin, thanks for your reply :)
Sorry did think this idea seemed good so someone must have thought of it too! That’s a little disappointing to hear, I think if enough of the community got behind it and settled on something that all parties agreed on it could be a possibility.
The devs have access to all the stats of the game. They must know what perks are consistently used so could use that to play a part?
I would only be up for this if there was equal input from survivors, killers and devs to ensure it was fair. They could even put it out as a player feedback survey?
I do get what you’re saying, the last thing I’d want is to make it too restrictive. More a softer approach if it were possible. It could go hand in hand with a major perk reshuffle as I know they’ve been trying to rework a lot of perks for the sake of balance.
I just find it boring knowing there’s about a handful of perks I know I have to use, rather than I want to use when I load in either as a survivor or killer. I do sometimes I wish the game was a little more casual so it wasn’t so competitive / stressful for both sides.
