Why are offerings shown?

Like seriously, why was this ever a thing?

If we are loading a match, we can end up on any map, someone used something to get one map? ok so what? we could have ended up there anyway so why show that?

Someone uses an offering to get more bloodpoints... ok...why show that?

Someone uses an offering to spawn together... ok...why show that?

Killer is using mori....well now either survivors immdiately change the way they play or flatout DC right away.... why show that offering?


Like im not against for example survivors knowing Mori is in play by something showing in the lobby screen, then having the option to dodge much like killers can dodge when they see too many items or a key or whatever.

Its just that offerings showing before the match starts is beyond me, what purpose does it serve, WHY IS IT THERE, lets just load the match already jeez

    Honestly I'm also curious.

    I’m fine showing or not showing offerings either way. I totally understand the point you’re making and I agree. All I want is all offerings shared between survivors or killers respectively.

    While I agree that the offerings dont really matter. It's either got to be no offerings shown, or stays as is.

    Having a notification that a mori is being played wouldn't be too fair if every other offering isnt shown.

    I'd also like the hex notifications be gone too. At least give a little mystery back to the killer as to what they are using.

    This coming from a survivor

    I don't really see an issue with showing them in general other than just for curiosity.

    The real question is why after well over 3 years we still have "secret" offerings shown in the load screen when there are so few "secret" offerings that there is nothing secret about them. This should have been changed coming out of beta.
