Terror radius should be a gimmick.
The terror radius is a legacy of the past, from a time when the heartbeat adds to immersion. However, it is undeniable that it is a great handicap to the killers.
We have come to a point in time when we should start forcing survivors to use their eyes instead of just holding m1 until they hear the heartbeat. Killers like meyers, pig and ghostface add more immersion precisely because they force survivors to constantly scan their surroundings
For example:
Trapper - survivors no longer hear the heartbeat unless they are caught in a trap.
Huntress - no more lullaby or heartbeat. Only the "shing" sound from a maximum charge hatchet is audible
Hillbilly - no more terror radius unless he is already dashing with his power. Chainsaw sounds can only be heard after it charges past the halfway point
Etc...
This is coming from a survivor main. We need to make killers provide more immersion as a survivor

Wait, a survivor who wants to make killers tougher?! 2020 truly is the end!
But let's face it. If the terror radious ever was removed, survivors would rise with pitchforks and torches and start complaining that killers were now too OP.

because it literally would be op, it would be like playing against myers permenantly except they teleport, like nurse, or they already have range on you with hatchets, almost every gen has a corner you can't look around and you'd just be gen grabbed constantly. it would ruin the game, it's not about rising up and being raged about it, it would just make the game incredibly boring.

that would ruin it for the killers with unique terror radiuses

I feel like every killer should have an addon that gives either undetectable or oblivious
Removing it completly seems a bit too strong, but removing it for a time can make the game more excitting for survivors i think
Things like getting caught in a beartrap gives you oblivious for 2 minutes

So change DBD completely. Gotcha.

Removing the terrorradius would throw off the entire balance of the game. However I personally would be behind making the terrorradius always having the same intensity. Because right now survivors always just mindlessly repair generators with no fear, because the terrorradius is far away, and they can tell exactly when the killer is actually approaching. Making it like Freddy where the intensity is the same over the entire radius would increase the immersion, and make repairing generators within it actually scary, and a strategic risk.

They are already doing this with giving each killer an individual chase and terror music, screwing up sound levels of the heartbeat.

Terror radius is a main aspect of dbd. I think you didn't think this through too well.

You can use monitor and abuse, dark devotion, tinkerer, nemesis, insidious, etc etc to manipulate it.
There are killers who can just remove it at will, like ghostface, pig, and wraith.
I don't understand the point of this thread.

Killer would become no-brainer mode and there would be Bubba's everywhere. Imagine.

Actually that's pretty easy to fix. Each killer just should have their own kind of TR.
Bubba has a loud chainsaw, plus he could scream all the time.
