Small Blindness Buff

A neat little buff would be having the blindness status effect also remove the bubble notification survivors get when another survivor gets hooked. This'll make hex: the third seal used more often. I think it's a good buff to a pretty weak status effect.

    Oh god please no. Satan just don't do this to me lmao. Why does the blindness status effect need a buff and what would you do with it? and also why the ######### do you want to take away the bubble notification from survivors? sorry but thats a dumb ######### idea.

    I feel like this idea could actually be the beginning of something, maybe instead of immediately removing the bubble notifications the blindness effect can operate similarly to the huntress's lullaby. Decreasing the time a survivor can see these notifications depending on how blind they are, if a survivor is carless they may even suffer from full blindness, unable to receive any notifications at all. Can you imagine being so blind that your HUD just doesn't update at all? Two of your teammates are dying on the ground, one of them is already dead, but from your perspective they're still healthy and fine. Now that's horrifying.

    Also touching on the third seal, I always thought a cool way to buff the third seal was to make it's name literal, have the perk spawn three hex totems that all do the same thing. Y'know, because the existence of the third seal implies the existence of a first, and second seal.

    Removing the bubble notifications would absolutely devastate solo survivors while doing little to nothing against SWF. Solo survivors aren't great at rescuing each other as is.

    Removing status effects, hex effects, that kind of thing, that might be interesting. Not seeing in the HUD that Hex Lullaby is active or that Overwhelming Presence is consuming your item, that's potentially powerful without being devastating.

    The survivors would be more disoriented when one of them gets hooked. They wouldn’t know exactly where to go so they’ll have to move atound the map to spot a hooked survivor which can potentially give the killer enough time to get their next target.

    It's pretty worthless right now to be fair. It's not a threat at all.

    Yeah but why do you want the bubble for when people get hooked to be removed? solo survivors are going to be ######### over more than they already are, how do you expect them to communicate as they legit can't and swf groups will just be slowed down maybe 5 secs before told where to go and then they know. Ofc you killer mains want it removed cause you want the game easier for yourselves, but if you were survivor you wouldn't like it removed.

    I actually hate that bubble as survivor. It blocks Kindred auras, blocks the killer physically (so micheal can be marching right at you and you cant even see him), and generally lasts way longer than it should. It would actually be a nerf to killer for it to be removed so your reasoning is all messed up.
