Killer perk meta in Dead by Daylight never sits still: every gen-regression darling from Ruin to Eruption to Pop has eaten a nerf cycle, every new chapter ships three fresh killer perks that either flop or warp the meta overnight, and basekit changes (regression event limits, hook timers, anti-camp) quietly rewrite which slowdown and aura perks are even worth a slot. With the Jason chapter live on patch 10.0.2, the argument has started all over again.
This board ranks the most meta-relevant killer perks on the current patch, as voted by the community. If your favorite perk is criminally underrated here, that's what the vote buttons are for.
