Distortion

leave it alone…

devs excuse of being too easy to go unnoticed in a game of literal hide and seek is ridiculous when you read that predator goes from scratch marks to 6 second aura reveal if you have the audacity to escape a chase!!!
Yea real tough one for killers that

    The problem with current Distortion is that it rewards being stealthy with even more stealth, which is bad design. All other stealth perks have active requirements like getting hit, getting unhooked or placing a Boon.

    If you had 2 Survivors with Distortion in a group, and the killer had at least 1 aura perk, the players without Distortion were tunneled out while the Distortion users were not even hooked once. The killer is usually not at fault.

    Honestly simply tying token recharge to gen progress would fix the issue without killing the perk.

    People need to contribute (and put themselves in the Killer's patrol path) if they want to keep their stealth.

    Rats can't simply hide in lockers to keep regaining tokens and can't hide forever in endgame since doing gens will inevitably expose them.

    Basically every perk that was thrown in the trash could have had a simple change to keep it useable but no longer obnoxious.
