Ideas to make Deathbound not suck?

Let's face it: current Deathbound is really bad.

My suggestion would be for Deathbound to also show the aura of the survivor under its effects if they leave the 8 meter range of the other survivor; i.e., they become Oblivious AND their aura is shown to the killer if they leave the 8m zone of safety.

Another idea would be to give it a secondary effect that just plain shows the aura of any survivor who becomes oblivious for X seconds. However, this would significantly overlap with many perks such as Nemesis and the newly buffed Hex: Retribution.

What ideas can you come up with to make it more useable?

    I would change it that whenever any survivor gets healed (even self-care) at least 32 meters away from you, that survivor will scream and get Oblivious for 40 seconds.

    This would need some testing, because it might be too strong on some fast killers, because survivors just would not be able to recover. So there might be cool-down needed, maybe like 40 seconds?

    I want their health states to be tied up to the injured state meaning that they can't both go down if you down one of them.

    The problem with it showing auras too long (or even at all) is that it just becomes a better A Nurse’s Calling. Maybe if the scream took place as soon as healing started and not when it was completed, the perk could get more value. But it would probably need a cool down with an effect that strong.

    Either remove the distance requirement or my favourite.. have it make a survivor scream after self caring or using a medkit.

    lots of times I remove the perk if I see 3 medkits or whatever because I won’t get much value.. if any.. spies from the shadows is literally more useful IMO.
