    Or... Or... As everyone has been saying, make the aura hiding thing a passive effect with the perk Distortion. That way, you have to waste a perk slot in order to be potentially immune to auras as killers have to waste perk slots to counter survivor perks or items. Of course the passive effect should not remove any tokens.

    This may take the heat off if done, and might make everyone happy. This is just my two cents on this subject.

    THIS ^^

    If they at least had to waste a perk for it I'd be fine with it.

    Iron Maiden would also actually be at least playable if they made it not tell the survivor they had Exposed/make it last longer. Then at least they would keep using lockers and not know to stop using it unless you actually got value out of it. Currently the timer is way, way too short and once they see it, they are never using a locker again. Wasted perk slot currently.

    This would be a great change for IM, still needs that 60sec but this would help even more.

    While they said they will make Lockers block aura reading for survivors too SOON TM i think that lockers are still an issue.
    This survivor buff was never needed nor was a nerf to BBQ, Bitter Murmur, Freddys power and some addons like amandas letter the one all seeing wraith addon etc.

    This change noone asked for promotes camping and makes holding the game hostage easier and comes before changes to DS or Hatch or actual buffs to solo survivors like a free bond to bring them closer to swf. Instead they buff swf more with this change then solo survivors. Smart move...

    I kinda like the idea of giving players more options without depending on perks.

    Stating that, BBQ had already many counters and this change was given to survivors without giving anything to the killers.

    I feel like giving every killer whisperer 3 is a fair trade as well. In that way, killers would get the information they lack from bbq. It also would solve the hostage problem.

    You realize now auras hide all auras not just survivors

    Can someone explain me why this locker change is such a big deal?
    The exploit with OoO is fixed so we are on the same playing field.
    And if I hook someone with bbq and I see no aura, I assume that they are around 40m and start scouting the area (sry hooked survivor, I don't "camp" you, I just assume that 3 survivors are within 40m of your hook so yeah. I am not going away) or I just fall back on my other "tracking" abilities.

    The only problem I see is, when at the end of the game everybody is playing lottery instead of escaping, but that's a different problem.
