Insidious Rework?

I have a couple thousand hours in this game, and don't remember ever seeing insidious being used in a skillful play.

Instead, killers only use it to camp, making Borrowed Time also not work because of the lack of Terror Radius.

In my opinion insidious is an outdated perk and should be either removed or reworked to add more interesting gameplay.

Would like to see others' opinions on it.

    I believe we need to stay this perk for campers (btw I hate this killer's style but who am I to dictate game rules).

    New perks we'll see in next chapters and I'm looking forward it.

    How I would rework it:

    Insidious: Unlocks the stealth ability. Standing still for 3/2/1 seconds grants you the Undetectable Status Effect. You remain Undetectable after moving for 4/5/6 seconds. You are not granted the Undetectable Status Effect when standing within 16 meters of a hooked survivor.


    This way it can't be abused for camping but it also rewards you for sacrificing some pressure on purpose.

    Nah. I believe there are other perks needing more attention than Insidious. While it is mostly used by Basement Bubba and shameless campers, the perk can be used in other situations; it's just that Killers always go with the same meta perks so there's no variety or room for new strategies.

    I don't think it's a great perk. But not terrible enough to need a rework, in my opinion.

    I didn't think this through. Maybe 3/2/1 seconds?
