Underrated Perks Pt. 2: Distortion

I'm starting a series of discussion posts about perks that I think are underappreciated and players should try using more often. For all of these posts, feel free to give your thoughts on if you agree and why, or why you think the perk is meh.

First perk in my list is Distortion. It's a bit of a gimmicky perk that has some niche uses, but when I use it, it lets me be extra stealthy and get away with a lot of things other perks don't. If I'm working on a generator when a teammate gets hooked and a Distortion token gets used up, I immediately know the Killer is using BBQ and Chili, and since my aura is hidden, I can feel safe knowing the Killer won't come check the generator I'm working on (no Killer that isn't memeing is going to run both BBQ and Chili and Thrilling Tremors).

I once evaded a Freddy that was using BBQ and Chili for the entire match with Distortion, and his reaction to never finding me the whole match is a memory I treasure.

As far as changes to make the perk better or entice people to use it more often, I wish there were a way to gain tokens back somehow, or something to that effect, because once you use all three tokens, you have a dead perk slot.

What does everyone think?

    Edited my post to fix a couple typos. I have two more survivor perks in my list, and then I'll be moving onto killer perks.
