Why does distortion recharge in chase?
I completly forgot this fact until i loaded in a clown match using the invigoration aura reveal addons. I never saw this kates aura i was chasing despite chasing her multiple times. Because apparently the perk thats made to encourage stealth can charge in chase as well? It basically made my cigar box, iri addon, and im-all-ears useless in all chases with her. And considering my tr is 32 meters and i didnt have any stealth perks. And in turn it hides her scratch marks so it also makes it more difficult for me to track her. Guess there goes my 2 addons and 1 perks effects on her all game and they are basically turned against me. Got some nice mindgames on the other survivors though. Anyone else find this to much for some nicher aura reveal killers?

Thats what Distortion is made for.

That's rough since distortion ALSO hides scratch marks when it proccs. I was having a similar situation when using chucky's aura reading addons. I'd scamper a window to try a cheeky mindgame, only to procc their distortion and hide their scratchmarks for them.

Yeah i noticed that because it basically turned my own perks and addons against me since it made it harder for me to track her. Gave her info of what i was running. And i really couldn't do anything to avoid it besides chase someone else i guess.

Yet even weaker perks that follow kinda the same logic don't recharge in chase? Stakeout, diversion? Whats the difference?

I guess they were worried it would take too long to recharge tokens otherwise.
Regardless, I agree. As it is there isn't really much use in it having tokens at all. You might burn through with Scratched Mirror Myers but even a full aura reading build isn't going to work. It could be tweaked a little. Either make it so that it takes longer for tokens to recharge or you can no longer recharge tokens in chase but the recharge is faster.

Unless your wraith with his purple lol. Sure they can become immune to his aura reveal every once and a while. If the wraith ever chases while uncloaked. If not then pretty much wraith should have the entire perk gone by their second "chase" with them (since its not really a chase because wraiths cloaked)

it really feels it's bugged because it doesn't make sense, if i didn't know how perk worked i never could've guessed it recharges in a chase because it doesn't match its main purpose: avoiding killer. none of other terror radius perks won't recharge in a chase also, pebble and stake out.

Cause none of those perks are useful in chase.

i think pebble and stake out should recharge in chase. they're crap perks that nobody uses.
untrue, gearhead+face the darkness can destroy tokens very quickly especially if the survivor is not hitting great skill-checks in full aura build. I put these perk in my nurse build at one point because i was annoyed for survivors countering my nowhere to hide perk.

It's not that hard to hit great skill checks, so that is definitely avoidable.
I had a match against a full group of Distortion enthusiasts and even with Lethal Pursuer, BBQ, Nowhere To Hide and Floods of Rage I couldn't burn through. And I got lots of scourge hooks in quick succession. You really can't do much more than this when it comes to aura reading and it's usually pretty overkill. Yet I was unable to get through their stacks. If that is not enough, then it's fair to say that in an average game you don't break through.

Another one is why does lethal pursuer which lasts 11 seconds only consume one token ?
i've played as survivor against a lethal pursuer killer snd funny enoufh it only took one token.

Better question is: why does distortion recharge OUTSIDE of chase? It should charge in chase only.
