Is Merciless Storm really worth a perk-slot?

[Phynubis]

A lot of streamers recommend Merciless Storm on certain killers, even on https://dennisreep.nl/dbd/perk/97 it is S-Rank on three killers and high A-Rank on a lot of more killers.
in my opinion this is a very weak perk. Maybe I miss one skillcheck out of 10 generators, even my friend with only 30 hours playtime has absolutely no problem with this perk.
Are most of the survivors really this bad with skillchecks?

Doctor in particular can make this perk work surprisingly well.

His power makes the skill checks to be all over the place, making it considerably harder to land them, specially if Unnerving is in play, which can pretty much guarantee it will trigger with him.

But on its own, it isnt that great of a perk.

Its not made to force lock generators. Its made to put pressure on the survivors to focus intently and make it easier to sneak up and interrupt them. And when that happens, its locked and can't be instantly finished.

its ok unless theyre running potential energy, then they can just bypass the merciless storm

[Arson Aardvark]

I usually forget it exists and someone always messes up and locks a gen. It's surprisingly still useful.

Only on Doctor, worthless perk otherwise.

You kinda need to pair it with Unnerving to get value out of the perk, even on Doctor.

I went against two Doctors last night with Merciless, and even with Madness 2 and the skill checks going wild, I managed to bypass it. If they ran Unnerving, I might have missed a skill check, but then they’d be limited to really only playing with 2 perks.

It’s a waste of time, my man. One of those Doctors was against a full solo queue team, so you’d imagine he’d have an easier time, but his entire build was gen defense, so we got a 4 man out.

Dude was running Deadlock, Dead Man’s Switch, Merciless Storm, and STBFL… but I denied him STBFL stacks since I was obsession and kept taking hits.
