PERK REWORK COMPETITION: Surveillance
Surveillance
CONDITIONS
1. It must be within the theme of watching over Generators in one shape or another.
RELEVANT
Take the following concepts into consideration when creating your version of Surveillance:
-The current surveillance is a highly conditioned tracking perk.
-In the current meta, finding survivors isn't the hardest part; killing them in time is.
-Meta perks are either good at Stalling, Anti-Looping, One-shotting.
-Current Surveillance is not a perk that you would pick to support any-type of play-style/scenario.
AWARD
After a reasonable amount has passed (1 month) and suggestions have reached over a number of 10 or 10 exactly, I and others will consider the most upvoted version of Surveillance as the official communities' vote for the Reworking of this Perk.
Your (if most upvoted version) will be echoed among the forums when there's a mentioning of Surveillance as our most upvoted idea in the hope that the Devs see it.
May the strongest of ideas win (:

Unlocks potential in one’s aura reading ability. The last 1/2/3 regressing generators’ are revealed to you in white until they are worked on by a survivor.
When a survivor works on the generator, their aura is revealed to you for 5/7/9 seconds.

Surveillance
Generators within 32m / 36m / 40m of you are under great protection. Everytime new Generator enters in your range, gain sound notification when Generators reached 85% / 80% / 75% of progression bar. Kicked Generators within your range also have increased degeneration speed by 20% / 25% / 30%.0 -

Surveillance is clearly meant to be a perk that promotes generator patrolling, it just doesn't do it very well. So I have an idea on a rework.
Surveillance
The noise of survivors working on generators is increased by 30/40/50%. Additionally, your Terror Radius intensity is reduced by 40/50/60% when you are within 32m of a generator that is being worked on.
Reasoning
I found it kind of difficult to think of what to do to improve Surveillance but I feel it should sort of be the reverse version of Technician on the survivor side. This rework allows you to hear generators at further range if they are being worked on and allows you to launch more of a surprise attack on them with the muffled Terror Radius.
NOTE: Terror Radius "intensity" is NOT the range of it, but rather how loud it is as you get closer to a survivor.

When the killer kicks a gen all nearby survivors auras are revealed for 30 seconds or 8 seconds after they leave the 20m radius of gen. Cooldown of 40/30/20seconds
It's kinda a killers equivalent of the alert! perk for survivors. Could be a surveillance rework. Kicking gens should do more harm to survivors.0 -

Currently the Perk Reads...
Unlocks potential in one's Aura reading ability. The last 1/2'/3 regressing Generators' Aura(s) are indicated in white to you for 16 seconds.
I was thinking...
Unlocks potential in one's Aura reading ability. The last 1/2/3 regressing Generators' will show the aura of any survivor working on it. Generator will be effected for 20 seconds after kicking.
Survivors in the area wont be seen, only those actively working on the generator. The name Surveillance should been that the killer is watching, while currently its more like the killer is notified.

Surveillance: Unlocks potential in one's Aura-reading ability. The last 1 regressing Generator's/2 regressing Generators'/3 regressing Generators' Aura(s) are indicated in white to you for 120 seconds and their repair progress can be determined by the insensity of their Auras.

As there are games in which you don't even get to kick a generator or where finding a survivor at your generator with the perk even if the 16 seconds wouldn't be over, then it would still be as terrible.
In order to make it more than just a perk that we shake our heads at, let's try a slightly different approach:
Surveillance:
When a survivor starts working on a regressing Generator, they will suffer from the Exposed effect for 10/20/30 seconds.“Are you gonna behave?” -Amanda Young
This way it's about the killer Surveilling the Generator and catching a survivor off Guard. It helps them with their killing potential and actually, to my surprise, fits the Perk Icon better than the original idea.
This Surveillance would be a good fit for stealthy killers and counter to Survivors mindlessly Gen tapping a regressing Generator.
Similar to how Mad Grit helps against bodyblockers, so does the new Surveillance have a real role in this game.0 -
I feel Surveillance should be something similar to the Wraith's ultrarare addon "All-Seeing" - Spirit. Something like this:
Unlocks potential in one's Aura-reading ability. After hooking a survivor, the repair progress of Generators can be determined by the intensity of their Auras for 20/30/40 seconds.
