Survivors seeing hooks.

A lot of people say gens need added time. I think that survivors on hooks should not have their aura revealed automatically, that should be a perk. This would add to the nessecity for teamwork, and also help make the game more horror ish, because you would be racing against time and not sure where to look.

    Absolutely not! This would be a nightmare for solo queue, who can't communicate with each other. It's bad enough that without Kindred, I would have no idea whether I would have to make the save or not, wondering if one of the teammates are going for it. If I can't see the aura of the hooked survivor, I would just keep working on the gen I'm on.

    This would just widen the gap between solo and swf even more. There are blindness perks that killers can use to hide downed and hooked people temporarily.

    I'm all for nerfing survivors, I think the game is pretty heavily stacked in their favor, but I don't think that's the right call. Survivors absolutely need to know where the hooked player is. That piece of information is vital to for them. That'd be like not showing gens to killers. It's a basic piece of info without which, the side is more or less #########.

    I also think it should be weakened, but as someone else mentioned, the separation between Solo Q and those who aren't will become severe, so bhvr has no shortage of ways to share information. I did so.

    Despite this, the average survivor's skills are so low that they are unable to properly utilize the on-board HUD, which is a frustrating situation.

    In the case of SWF, if you limit the perk frame to 3, solo Q will be advantageous, and I think it is possible to lower the strength of SWF a little, but this opinion will be fiercely opposed by those who do not take balance into account, who urge us not to create even the slightest disadvantage for survivors.
