Removing the information from Pain Resonance/Tinkerer encourages camping

The current proposed change removes the noise notification for which generator has the most progress on Pain Resonance as well as the Tinkerer only activating once per generator. As the developers want to discourage camping, I don't see the point in nerfing the information gathering ability of the killer. Killers often camp when they don't know where survivors are, as it's easier to find a survivor that has to come to you rather than vice versa. These two perks encourage the killer to do their job: Pressure gens instead of camping out a kill. While Pain Resonance has a synergy with DMS I don't think it's that powerful (as the perk isn't even in the top 10), and even if it's deemed too powerful by the developers you could still simply remove the part where survivors let go of the generator when they scream from pain resonance. Similar deal with Tinkerer, it's whole purpose is to help guide the killer so he pressures generators and gets into chases rather than doing the (safer and more boring) strategy of camping out a kill on the hook and either forcing a trade or an early death.
