Distortion Rework

There are 14 perks/add-ons/abilities that put survivors into an exposed state (not counting green/yellow moris) and 8 aura perks, 8 killers with aura revealing add-ons, and 2 add-ons that let the killer know you’re in the area so that you can be found. Let me know if I’m missing any.


Why does Distortion have limited uses again? How is it fair that killers aura revealing perks don’t? Distortion should have unlimited uses if killer gets unlimited uses. It won’t break the game anymore than the things mentioned above have. At least bump up the number of uses. Three goes fast with BB&C and/or Nurses Calling and makes the perk basically useless, which is why you almost never see anyone using it that’s not new to the game.


Or break Distortion up into multiple perks that allow you to counter at least one of the 8. One that hides you when your healing, a different one that hides your aura when you run, a different one that hides your aura if you’re a certain distance away from the killer, a different one that hides your aura if you’re close to the killer. That way it doesn’t cancel out everything at once but gives players the freedom to pick and choose what they want to hide from.


I personally like the latter option with multiple DIFFERENT aura disguising perks, with no limitation on uses, are available and it would bring more variety to builds.

    It either should have 5 total tokens that you can't get back or you should be able to regain tokens every 30 seconds you are in the killer's TR (you'd start with 3 and would only be able to gain them back after a token has been used).

    @Luigifan That sounds like a cool idea to me. I would like that a lot better than what it is now.

    Nah distortion is fine as is. The moment distortion goes off you should have an idea what perk they used like bbq, bitter murmur, nurses calling etc so you can counter them by changing your play style.

    I totally agree, I personally use it a lot and it works perfectly fine. Distortion gives me an idea how to prevent a lose of a token such as named above. You just gotta strategize and learn how the killers aura reading perks work. I feel like if they do anything to it itll be OP imo so it's perfect as it is.

    Aura revealing has conditions, it doesn't work always, and Distortion gives you the information so that you know how to outplay them. Having a single perk giving immunity to the huge list you posted would be kinda unfair, right?

    Also agree to this

    Three tokens is very meager. I like the idea of regaining tokens through being in the terror radius, or a reasonable cooldown such as 30-60 seconds.

    Its benafits require no work from you and blocks a lit of things at once..plus survivor perks should never be as wide spread in effectiveness as killer perks otherwise it quickly gets out of hand
