How strong would the Oblivous effect be if it was buffed to hide the red stain?

I thought it would be interesting if Oblivious was buffed tp removed the ability for survivors to see the red stain, and how it would affect the killers with it in their kits:

  • Demogorgon would have an easier time sneaking up on survivors sealing portals.
  • Charlotte would be able to tag team with Victor and mindgame incapicated survivors who hold Victor hostage. Also makes Charlotte more unpredictable to those who crush Victor with a purple addon.
  • Freddy with his shorter status would be able to mindgame survivors very effectively, and would be very difficult to see coming while asleep.
  • Pyramid Head would become stronger at mindgames with a purple addon (not sure how this addon works, is it every time survivors walk through a trail or only the first 15 seconds?).

Those are all the killers. As for perks, there are currently 3 perks that inflict Oblivous:

  • Deathbound would be buffed, and would really make survivors want to stay grouped together, which is good because finding two survivors means you are pressuring half the team.
  • Nemesis would mean any killer who gets pallet stunned is able to mindgame very well, and would buff the unpredictable shenanigans when paired with other obsession perks like Furtive Chase, For the People, etc.
  • Hex: Retribution would make it riskier to cleanse dull totems, which since the nerf to Hex: Undying, you should only do anyway if you suspect NOED, so this is whatever.

If anyone thinks that removing the red stain would be too unfair to survivors to counter at mindgameable loops, please keep in mind that moonwalking already exists, so the main benefit would be to sneak up on survivors who are oblivous on objectives without needing to walk backwards. Since Oblivious is usually situational there will have been moments a oblivous survivor spotted you without you noticing them

. Plus Ghostface can go undetectable during a chase and is still not hard to avoid the mindgames from him, and Oblivous can only be applied one survivor at a time, (bar Freddie's first 60 seconds), and doesn't hide your aura, so I feel it should be at least be on a n equal or stronger level than undetectable.
