Yes
As a solo survivor who uses it alot for the purpose of getting in chases, I love it. I voted yes mostly because I don't want it to be nerfed with a cool down timer. I'm perfectly happy with stealth killers being able to see my aura while I am unable to see theirs. It adds tension and jump scares to my DBD life.

Really powerful perk.

Broken on certain maps. Broken in swf. Completely disables certain killers. Caused the introduction of that dumpster fire mechanic called undetectable.

i'm conflicted.
on one hand, it's pretty balanced solo. high risk high reward
on the other had, pretty broken with SWF

No
It's mostly fine for Solo, but with comms it becomes busted against non-stealth killers. Trapper is especially neutered by this, which sucks considering that he already is fairly weak.

ITS NOT BALANCED AT SOLO! This game is about not knowing where the killer is and the killer not knowing where you are. The fact that its heavily unbalanced for solo means that it is by far the most unbalanced thing in the hand of an SWF!

No
Everyone who says its balanced is just a sweaty SWF member who loves to sh1t on loopable killers with his sweaty friends!

Yes
Don't see a problem as long as it's solo queue. Overkill as SWF tho...

Yes
The game is about chase interactions between killers and survivors, anything that happens before and/or after that is generator repairing/patroling. Dead by Daylight stopped being hide-and-seek years ago.

No, it is not fine. Even for Solos. The reward is way too big for the risk.
Also it is the reason we got stuff like Undetectable and Oblivious, which results in quite a bunch of Survivor Perks not useable, even when they were fine (like Alert or Dark Sense) only because of one problematic Perk.
Let alone the toxicity that can be paired with Object and from my observation, Killers are upset when they see an Object and while it is up to them to feel like that (or even tunneling the Object-guy), this should not be a thing IMO.

that is exatly the most STUPID thing someone who thinks OoO is balanced could say! OoO is used by SoloQ to evade killer at all time because of subtile use of OoO. And SWF uses OoO to give information at prepare the team for the killer that includes hidding or running away 20m before a survivor would normaly spot the killer!
So with this argument of yours you played yourself!
8 -
No
This !!!
And like I said before everyone who votes that it is balanced just love abusing it! This perk does not belong in the game because the amaunt of information is abusable in solo and especialy SWF and prevent the usual interactions of killer and survivor! Every big stream also hates this perk!

It’s fine. I don’t see the problem with it. I use it in SWF and Solo if I feel like it because it lets you know when the killer is headed your way and if you’re in a dead zone you have a few extra seconds to leave.

The answer is entirely based off the map you're playing on.

I´m pleased to see a trend here that aligns with my own thoughts. I made a lengthy post about why I think Object is down right broken. Unfortunately I didn´t get a Dev to give a statement on their take on OoO.
I really hope it gets adressed soon because more often than not it´s getting used to rob the Killer of any chance of accomplishing anything during a match (given the swf aren´t noobs). In low skill brackets it´s fine though or if the team using Object is versing something that has the necessary tools to deal with it, like a high end spirit or nurse player.

You barely even see it. So I think it's fine.

It takes control of the entire game and can leave you at a massive disadvantage depending on your killer. Otherwise its just annoying.

No
If by "A few extra seconds" you mean potentially an entire map's length away for you and anyone on comms with you then okay go off

Ran it a couple of times in SWF in Midwich to test how broken it actually was.
It is definitely not okay lol

Yes
I have no problem with it being used on solos. However, on SWF team it completely destroys some killers.
OoO doesn't need changes. SWF does.
0 -
No
I definitely think OoO should have a total rework. It's completely busted in a competitive SWF and makes specific killers unplayable against them. (namely, trapper and hag)

Yes
You are absolutely right, just if you do solo queque is kinda balanced

Yes
To me, noticing an Object of obsession survivor just means that probably, they are cocky and overconfident.
So, usually this type of survivors are really good at looping, and they always bring a flashlight. They will just try to make you lose time walking in your way trying to lure you into chasing them.They will try to make you angry...etc.
But if you are a good killer you'll just ignore these type of survivors. Usually when you ignore them, they will keep trying to attract your attention, so you are just making them lose time.
I just ignore Object of obsession survivors, and suddenly that perk turns into an advantage for me, not for the survivor.
Regardless, it's also true that this perk is scary in 4 man red rank SWAT SWFs compositions.

I've seen OoO maybe a handful of times, as killer or survivor, outside of someone trying for Adept Laurie. I see killers complain about it fairly frequently but then most end game screenshots I see it is rarely on them. I'm not sure it's used enough to warrant the devs attention over other perks that are used more often and have a larger impact on the game. If anything maybe just add a cool down to it and/or make it only work if you are the obsession.

No
The initial chase distance you can get with OoO is insane. The info you get far outweighs the info you give.

people need to realize it's only really good on SWF teams because I play solo 99% of the time and hardly ever use it and just faced a pig and it was nothing but a hindrance. I didn't realize you can't see her when she crouches and I'm pretty sure it just lead her to me every time. It's getting to the point that I don't even want to play solo anymore unless I play as killer
