High-Mobility Killers With Perma Blindness - How Far Would They Fall?

High Mobility killers dominate DBD right now, and they have done so for a long time. A large part of their effectiveness comes from their aura-reading perks. So I was wondering how much a perma-blindness effect on them would affect their rankings in the tier list.

I'm not talking about killers who can transport to specific points on the map (Unknown, Onryo, Dredge, Demogorgon, Nightmare, Singularity, etc), nor killers who can't attack during their rapid traversal of the map (Wraith, Spirit, Dark Lord, etc) but killers like Nurse, Blight, Hillbilly, Ghoul & Wesker, all of whom can travel to attack wherever they want to in very quick time, and are often ranked top 10 in killer tier lists.

I'm not saying we should actually implement perma blindness to these killers, but if we did, how much worse would they become? Would they stay S-tier, would they become the worse killers in the game, or would they become middle of the road killers? They'd still keep their powers, they just can't supplement them with aura-reading.

    I know for Nurse specifically, her top build revolves around aura reading.
    Nowhere to Hide, Pop, Predator and Lethal Pursuer.

    Taking away her aura reading while charging blinks would definitely make her significantly weaker, since she would now have to predict where survivors are instead of using "wallhacks" to blink on top of them.

    As for the others, they still have excellent map traversal, like Billy, Blight and Kaneki. Nurse and Wesker are a bit more limited when it comes to traversal, thanks to longer cooldowns on their powers (including Nurse fatigue), and shorter effective range.

    That's more pros and cons chat

    Pros: Those Killers will have to predict where Survivors are going

    Cons: Half of their power comes from being able to attack Survivors during/after coming out of their power… so that'll lessen that aspect and be more for map travel more then anything

    Not very far. The best thing you can do is stack slowdown anyways. No one good at Nurse needs aura perks to play her.
