Gen Blind Survivor Perk?

As I was playing some killer last night, I had the random thought of "what if survivors had a perk that blinded me from seeing a gen aura?"

Not sure how it would work or for how long but given that there are killer perks and add-ons that cause survivors to not see auras, I think that a generator blindness perk might be a fun change.

Thoughts? Structure ideas? Suggestions?

    It'd be a neat stealth perk but I don't see it being too strong. If the gen suddenly vanishes with no loud gen done sfx any killer who knows what they're about (or if you're playing freddy cause you can still tp to it) will actually know someone is over there.

    Well, I thought about different ideas, like a survivor failing a gen skill check could hide the aura for a short time. So in exchange for a small setback you could profit from evading killer patrol, but rng based perks are frowned on.

    personally I’d say that if a survivor completed a gen and had this perk on, then the killer would be temporarily blind to all gen auras for a short time.

    honestly this sounds like one of those perks that killer mains would scoff at and baby killers would be destroyed by but I don’t think it’s that game breaking.

    Gens make noise, gens are tall and not terribly hard to spot. Also, finally a small counter to surveillance?
