Flashlights should only work in Killer's FOV

Exactly as per the title.

I've been blinded a couple of times recently even when I've been careful to stare at a wall when picking up a survivor and still been blinded from the side.

How is it fair to not even see who is blinding you? (also can barely hear them due to ongoing sound issues)

    It’s not. This is why I get as close to the wall as possible and then go for the pickup. Not even turning away works, as you still get blinded even though you’re facing away. Flashlights have been like this for a while, but nobody seems to want to speak up about it. Some people will even defend it, calling it “skillful”. There’s nothing skillful about blinding a Killer when they can’t see you at all. I’ve got at least one video showing this (it’s buried so it’ll take some time to find though).

    Here is the video as I was jokingly streaming at the time (I'm not that great) but I can't work out what I've done wrong in this situation...

    Yeah, this has happened quite a few times to me. It is pretty frustrating to be blinded by someone who isn't even in your FOV.

    They usually are in your FoV, it's just a single pixel of them is protruding from the side. The flashlight beam, on account of its width, will inevitably cause things like this but it's really no worse than getting blinded from right in front of you.
