Lockers - Devs are almost there

I play killer and survivor equally. I have about 650hrs put into the game. As a survivor, the lockers blocking all auras was a HUGE step in the right direction, especially countering B&C. As a killer, I loved it too. Because B&C always told me two things as a powerful information tool. Are the survivors near by trying to be altruistic or are they across the map. Often to counter B&C, survivors ran near me which gave me zero inclination to leave the area. Why would I leave if the whole team is close by waiting for the unhook, and it becomes a game of hide and seek. So, great change devs from both perspectives, but I think its only half way done.

For the final fix to lockers, as the survivor enters the locker, their perspective should change from 3rd person to 1st person, with survivors only seeing the back of the doors until they open them or the killer does in a big GOTCHA terrorizing fashion, then transition back to 3rd person as the survivor is put on the killers shoulders. THIS WOULD BE AWESOME. One, it is a rush for a survivor, trying to time when to exit a locker, and the dread of the terror radius, IS THE KILLER GOING TO FIND ME, rather than the boring watching the killer run around in circles before it opens the locker. This would be an epic change that I think would do ALOT for dead by daylight, and bringing back some of those fear moments we all love so much.

    I dont like the new BBQ situation at all.
    First of all,. the auras are really hard to see in the new engine anyway, second they did this locker thing and third the new perk.

    I mean, what is the killer supposed to do if noone lights up on BBQ? I dont believe that camping is fun gameplay for anyone

    Iron Maiden needs to be a baseline mechanic.

    My favourite change with this is the fact it hides your aura from other Survivors too
