Distortion change

What if Distortion was Survivor version of Insidious?


Standing still for 4/3/2 seconds will make it impossible for the Killer to read your aura until you move or act again.


What do you think?

    It would be a better counter to BBQ. But then it loses it "counter" to Nurse's.

    BUT then again it wouldn't be used randomly. BUT THEN AGAIN you couldn't get "free" information about aura perks.

    So yeah those are my thoughts.

    It needs a buff regardless. 3 tokens isn't enough when considering the amount of aura reading perks killers have now.

    I've always liked the idea of being able to regain your tokens.

    I figured that it should be something like 'For every 30 seconds spent in the killers terror radius, regain a token.' so it'd be a perk where you have to risk getting found, to get the reward of being unable to have your aura seen.

    I would take Insidious Distortion over the junk it currently is anyday. Though I'd like it to work while you are doing gens, as you are not "moving" when that happens, but that might be OP.

    The last line is the most important one to me. Just knowing they don't have BBQ, or finding out they are running I'm All Ears or Bitter Murmur, or they have some add on, is huge.

    I think having it mirror Insidious is an excellent idea, and far superior to the current token option.

    Honestly it would't be broken if your aura couldn't be read at all durning a match. Perhaps it might have like 45 second cooldown

    I prefer this the way it is right now

    Not sure I'd like that.

    It would lose the information gain you can get from Aura killers you counter. It's one of the reasons I like the perk a lot. It also remove the countering of other aura readings that happen when you do an action.

    I understand the concept you are trying to give but not sure it would actually make it more useful than it is now.
