Blindness status effect/useless or balanced?

I reworked many pig addons and then i realized something.
I personally hate the blindness status effect.
I dont use it often.
It can destroy solo players and is useless against SWF.
What is your opinion about Blindness status effect addons and perks?
Are they useless or balanced?

Pig Addon:

Face Mask
Stacks: Yes
Rarity: Uncommon
Description: A modification to the Reverse Bear Trap: the heavy cloth face mask, laced with a sedative, partially suffocates the target, making it hard to concentrate.
Effect: Survivors caught in a Reverse Bear Trap suffer from a lower Intoxicated Effect(The clown).

    It’s useless against SWF, which sadly is more common these days. It’s hard to get every survivor with blindness. Maybe when the new totem update comes out the third seal will be better

    Blindness as an effect could be stronger itself.
    Some people dont even notice their missing auras.
    Important stuff still has the bubbles.

    It could slightly distort and darken the edge of the screen for affected survivors ( like wraith or spirit, but more intrusive lol)

    Having actual distorted vision and the normal Blindness would be stronger. Blindness for Solo players, the distorted vision for SWF.

    i wish blindness did what i first thought it did when i bought this game, i wish it made the inflicted persons screen darker, especially round the ages, as if they were in a dark room

    Maybe it could look like the screen in F13 when you get to max fear.

    It would be interesting,

    I mean Blindness can be really powerful since Survivors can't see other Survivors on the hook or in the dying state but it's pretty hard to get Blindness on all Survivors.

    But they still get the bubble notification.
