Object of Obsession rework idea
Object of Obsession is one of THE most annoying perks to come up against as killer, so my idea for a rework is this:
A supernatural bond links you to the Killer.
Each time your aura is revealed to the Killer, you see their aura for 4/6/8 seconds.
If you are not the Killer's Obsession, you see their aura for 2/4/6 seconds.
Increases your chances of being the Obsession.
The Killer can only be obsessed with one Survivor at a time.

This still has the same effect as before, but it can't be spammed to annoyance by the survivors. It's similar to Dark Sense but it can be used at any time, i.e. when perks like BBQ, Rancor, Bitter Murmur activate. Thoughts?

I like object the way it is. It doesn’t need a rework not a change. It’s not OP.
I play both roles equally and as killer this perk doesn’t bother me. OoO isn’t powerful it’s just simply just gives information just like any other aura perk. And it does work both ways. As killer you know where a survivor is and survivor you know where killer is.

I agree. No changes needed. In fact, I don't use it because the killer usually finds me thanks to OoO. I consider this perk weak. There are better perks for survivors than this one.

NGL, but majority of the people who even run Object only run it because they think OoO is toxic which it’s really not. And some killer are just headaches to believe this. It’s not toxic it’s how the perk is designed. And from my experience as killer the OoO person can’t even run more than 15-20+ seconds and get caught very easily.
some killer will camp and tunnel the survivor for running object which is childish.
I know someone will say a 4 man SWF running is OP and super Toxic. When in Reality it’s not. If fact is stupidest thing they could do just to meme around. I never seen 4 people with object maybe 2-3 but not 4. It doesn’t make any sense. Why would you waste a perk slot when you already have communication with each other.

That actually sounds really cool, i like the idea a lot. The duration should be at least 10 seconds on tier 3 though, in my opinion.

Except it's a hard counter to Trapper and Hag. Since OoO is mainly a SWF tool, it's not 'just' and aura info perk. No, it doesn't work both ways. The survivor can hide their aura pretty easily. 'IF' they removed that, so that the killer can see them at any time, much like survivor can killer, then we would be talking.

I like your idea, but it should be 10s on tier 3 like @PlantCollector said.
Whether OoO is toxic/OP or not, depends hardly on the Survivor's skill, if they are SWF and which Killer they are up against. Hag and Trapper loose their power against an OoO and Freddy has no chance to mindgame at all once the OoO is asleep. Whereas (Mirror) Myers, Wraith, GF and Pig can use OoO for their advantage.
Usually OoOs are cancer: They tbag, clicky-clicking their flashlight or do everything to just get on your nerves and ruin your day. And they are good loopers most times.
This would be another great idea too. No longer "looking away" for the survivor. But I think this perk would be too bad to be used then. Too much risk, you know.

I like when im Freddy and the OoO sleeps. Depending on the map, its an easy down cause the survivor cant escape the chase. No mind games required.
