Babysitter Buff to A-B Tier

The Babysitter is now considered a very bad perk, which harms you more than helps. Before that I was making a post about improving it, but now I have changed my mind a little and would like to give it such a buff so that it will be used MUCH more often and so that it gives a much better effect. In general, I would like almost all the perks to be buffed in the stranger things chapter, and if at least the Babysitter was buffed, it would be much better for the chapter.


Babysitter

While you have a reputation for being self-centred, you risk it all to help those in need.

When you unhook a Survivor, the unhooked Survivor leaves no Scratch Marks, Bloodtrail and Grunts of Pain, moreover, the unhooked Survivor will not be able to scream(?) and his aura will be unreadable to the Killer for the next 20/30/40 seconds.
The unhooked Survivor can see the Killer's Aura for 10 seconds and Both you and the Killer can see each other's Aura for 5 seconds.
Babysitter ignores the Undetectable Status Effect (?).

synergy with off the record: While the Babysitter is active, the off record is paused, when the effect of the Babysitter ends, the off record activates.


Now the perk has become MUCH more useful and now it really has some sense. 8 seconds of effect is very small and I am not pleased that the effect removes only scratch marks and bloodtrail, but not grunts of pain and the possibility of readability of the aura, as in the off the record. If you play the party, you can get great synergy with my version of the babysitter and off the record. As for me, 40 seconds is quite normal and not too much, the perk off the record gives as many as 80 seconds (which in practice is still not enough), and the Babysitter is only 8 seconds, which is so strange. I hope that in the near future, developers will affect most of the perks of survivors and make them more useful.
