Terror Radius and the custom heartbeats themes

Ok so I have had some matches against the new killer the blight I haven't faced him enough to have any real issues with him. I like his idea for his power ricochet off walls and objects. However, what I am having issue with is terror radius and this applies to most of the resent killers being like Pyramid head and Deathsinger. I love killers having their own theme but it's the heartbeat radius that is my issue. It has been really hard to know where and when killers are coming. The Blight is a speed killer, he is going to be coming in fast after you but I have had many instance where he has shown up before his terror radius is. The same can be said for the Hillbilly new theme. I have run into some Billy's using tinkerer but his Heartbeat while chainsawing around the map doesn't have enough of an impact my survivor side. Just to clarify it's the heart beat version of each new killers not the chase theme I have issues with. My volumes are also all turned up and it hasn't helped.

    I faced multiple killers with no heartbeat at all since the patch. Also most killers have reduced terror radius or theme music pop out of nowhere and then went away after a few sec. So broken.

    Yeah, I'm fine with custom themes, but they should have a clear heartbeat to give some realistic way of knowing how close they are.

    Last night was my first game against Blight, and based off his music I thought he must be halfway across the map, turns out he was right next to me. It's simply not good design to take something as crucial as the terror radius and make it really difficult to translate between killers.

    I also noticed that Blight has no heartbeat at all. Seems like a bug then. Has it been reported already? I mean, Slinger has a heartbeat too. It is too less so he seems like a stealth killer, but he has. Blight has no heartbeat at all, and that has pretty much the effect like Freddy in dream world

    Possible solution: Do the thing from DBD mobile where the Survivor's heart starts to glow when they're within the Killer's TR (and make it an option for anyone who doesn't wanna see that).

    I think the glow would be a bit much on console only because it would give the killer distance away to well. I have been running spine chill the past couple games just because I need bit more notification if the killer is coming towards me.
