Would unlimited Distortion be Overpowered?

    That's irrelevant to the point I was making.

    1) Off the Record can only activate twice.

    2) It's only active for a limited time.

    3) It requires you to be hooked.

    There are requirements and conditions to get the immunity it's not unlimited and not for free.

    Same goes with Sole Survivor your teammates have to be dead for it to work.

    You're not getting aura immunity for free with any of these perks

    What the op he was suggesting was free unlimited aura immunity if you running distortion.

    Also as a lot of people have pointed out which I completely forgot object of obsession is a thing with OP's suggestion you could get unlimited object obsession with no downsides whatsoever.

    Even when using object of obsession with Sole Survivor or off the record because of the conditions around it they're not an overpowered combo.

    If distortion replenished a token after a generator was completed then it would be a lot better. Start with 3 and it can go as high as 8 (completing 5 generators).

    infinite distortion wouldn’t be op if it did t combo with object of obsession tho lol, if a killer runs four aura reading perks that’s just a stupid idea on the killer’s part, bbq is easily countered by lockers and that’s like the main one killers use. If every survivor runs distortion they’re all playing with 3 perks each.

    It doesn't matter whether they're common or not are you not understanding that.

    Also did you literally just say object of obsession would not be powerful in combination I'm sorry what. I legitimately cannot take you seriously if you're going to make statements like that. Thank god you're not actually behind any game balancing

    You do know one of the main reasons reasons why they added blindness to people who go into lockers so people can't just use object of obsession whilst in it.

    The point of the matter is 1 perk should not be able to single-handedly remove a bunch of Perks and add-ons from coming into play. With no cost or condition whatsoever.


    The closest in comparison is calm spirit and even that's not as powerful.

    With the exception of barbecue a lot of aura reading perks and add-ons only give the benefit of aura reading.

    You don't run scratch mirror for the bloodpoints and you don't run Amanda's letter for anything else

    I'm a distorsion player. A meta perk for me and high rank player, so I think I have the right to speak a few words about it:

    1- Stop the "you only get 3" nonesense. Once you know the Killer has BBQ or Nurses (i.e.), you just adapt and prevent the token to be spent (hide in a locker, go a little far from the terror radius to heal, etc.).

    2- Yes, some changes may be good: use the token only if we want, for example. Some fixes must be done also, in order to counter things like maybe contagius terror or Myers aura reading (in this case, it can be hard to come up with a solution).


    Well, for me Distorsion is a must perk. The amount of information it gives makes every game like a chess game. I love it.

    I’m kinda thinking that it should go like this:

    •Distortion:

    +At the beginning of the trial, this perk has 5 tokens, with its maximum amount of tokens allowed being 5 tokens. When your aura is going to be revealed to the killer, instead a token is consumed and your aura is hidden for 10 seconds but you blinded in that time as well. To regain tokens, you must be within the killer’s terror radius and out of chase for at least 60/45/30 seconds. If you enter a chase with progress towards another token, all progress is lost and must be gathered again. This perk has a 30 second cool down before another token can be consumed or gained.

    Is it too much?

    yes. but I think you should gain a token when you are hooked.

    Honestly, all it needs is a way to recover tokens, like getting unhooks, finishing gens or healing, with a cap of 3 tokens, it's otherwise fine as is
