Lockers hiding aura reading

If this is really going to be implemented could we at least not have it be a free passive for everyone.

Bake it into the new Distortion survivor perk as a passive on it and if they use the locker to block an aura reading it won't consume one of their tokens. At least this would make it so it would cost them a perk slot if they really hated aura perks, abilities, etc. A little easier pill to swallow if this was the case.

    So survivor get another crutch.
    Indirect nerf to BBQ and Wraith all seeing.
    Does it work versus Freddy?
    No timelimit on this?
    If that would anything for a killer, that would be a perk instead f a free mechanic.
    More training wheels for survivor.

    Yes, works on ALL aura reading. Freddy, BBQ, Wraith all seeing, Michael mirror, all of it.

    And yeah ridiculous. If it was for killer it would've been a perk and definitely not free. 7 counters to BBQ wasn't enough and indirectly nerfing the other things was just...because. Killers needed nerfs right?

    I think it's an...interesting change and not necessarily good or bad yet. I will wait and see how things go.

    So multiple ultra rare add ons -some even with build in drawbacks already- get a severe nerf.
    And BBQ gets an idiotproof counter that you do not need a brain for to use.
    If that would had been a perk, I would be fine, but survivor get all their counter for free.
    And it doesn't even have a timelimit. facepalm

    I see it this way.
    Want to hide from BBQ? Fine, I will assume taht you are swarming the hook.

    Seems like the devs forgot the reason why they introduced BBQ, but maybe they also believe that the new punishment for camping is enough

    Basically. People complain about BBQ when there are plenty of counters. This change is going to backfire hard on them. I always leave hook for the BBQ person. If this change makes it so I don't see anyone I'm gonna assume they're all around the hook and not leave. This discourages me from playing a way that's more fun for all. Not a healthy change.

    Its sad, but it will stay a few months this way until survivors cry for another change. The devs will listen and come up with sth new. Its a never ending circle
