The proposed OoO is great, but here is what I'd change about it
We all know what the proposed change to OoO is by now, and I have to preface this by saying I think it's great. It's a change that has actually been suggested before. But there is one change that I would make and it has to do with the 2nd part of the perk.
The second part, right now, would make it so your aura is revealed for 3s every 40/35/30 seconds, which would also reveal the killers aura, but only if you are the obsession.
My proposed change is as follows:
- Remove the stipulation that only the obsession gets the benefit of the 2nd part
- Change the 2nd effect to simply be so that the duration of aura reveal lasts 0/1/2s longer. Meaning that if the killer would have BBQ, your aura would get revealed for 6s instead of 4, but you would also see the killers aura for that much longer
This proposed change makes it beneficial for every survivor, regardless of whether they are the obsession or not, and also makes it a distinct improvement depending on the tier. As of right now, with the current proposal, you have people who consider the shorter time to be a benefit, because you see the killers aura more often, while the other side argues that a longer timer means that your own aura gets revealed less often. With this change there is no debate that tier 3 is objectively better than tier 2.
OoO would still increase your chance of becoming the obsession, so it would still be an obsession perk. But it really doesn't need to do something special just for the obsession just because the perk is called "Object of Obsession", the simple fact that it increases your chance of being the obsession is enough.
And I know right now you have concerns that if the killer doesn't have any aura reading it makes it useless, but to me that doesn't sound like a real issue. Right now, 99% of the games the killer will have at least one aura revealing perk or addon, so it really isn't an issue. And, well, if they don't, I don't think it would be an issue, as I think it's a fair trade. They don't see you, you don't see them.
What do you guys think?
