Darkness Revealed is annoying to play against

When I play against Huntress, I assume that she has every possible aura reading perk but nothing is so annoying as Darkness Revealed. Even if killer doesn't have this perk, you just think that they could and every locker on your way or near generators annoys you as well. The worst part that it doesn't feel OP but when you know that killer always can check where you are just by opening locker feels not right. I believe that game didn't have so many lockers before but now they are just everywhere.

It would be nice if this perk was showing them survivors only in their terror radius or only outside of it. Maybe bigger cooldown would make this perk not so common?

    Is the perk really that common in the first place? I mean, I don’t love playing against it either (especially on Nurse) but I can’t remember the last time I actually saw it.

    Huntress overall is just annoying and my hate for her only increase more with distortion being garbage and her unneeded buff, then so much aura read stacking is so stupid and something should be done about all this aura stacking just like how survivors lost endurance stacking, hell give me get gen slow downs, buff them back for all I care. Bad killer with 4 slow downs who cant catch a single survivor cant get no value from the gen perks where as aura read you certainly always get value.

    if killer reveals survivors they should be notified about it like with weave or with hud like in 2v8, so we will stop thinking that killer has a wh

    Horrible idea, that way you wouldn't even need to use other perks to know what aura readings the killer has, it wouldn't make any sense in normal mode. Second, the aura reading perks are precisely to try to catch the survivor off guard, so it would not make sense if the survivor knows that his aura is being read.

    This perk is only reliable on Killers that open lockers a lot, I don't see the issue.

    it's super reliable atm for huntress because iron maiden+darkness revealed is instant opening lockers mid-chase. for example if someone is running shack and you know they're in opposite side of shack. you instant open locker and bam, you get 10-12 second of aura reading.

    couple this with Zanshin tactics on pallet drops and huntress has like 24 second of aura at loops with lethal. I don't think it is imbalanced but it's certainly newbie stomp strategy.

    some people use the whole Predator+Lethal+Iron maiden+Darkness revealed on Nurse as well. whenever i see play vs nurse running this in soloq, it's always midwich offering.
