Mirrored Illusion Buff/New Effect
I saw this thread regarding Technician, which is an effect I think is perfectly fine. I can remember maybe one instance of all my time on killer, where a generator repair sound on the game actually clued me in to someone being on a gen that I didn't already know.
Anyway while reading this thread I started thinking of builds and a thought popped in my mind regarding Mirror Illusion…
What if while repairing a gen with your Mirrored Illusion, you the survivor are invisible, the same way you are when using Vecna's Eye?
The moment you let go, the effect would be dropped, but while repairing your illusion serves as your body double to avoid a hit. This would create some potential amusing interactions where you could combine Mirror Illusion with Technician but stay hidden next to the gen and not move. This would give a little more exposure to the invisibility effect of the Eye of Vecna, since it would be a survivor triggered variant of the effect, so it's less obtuse when you have the Eye.
If you're repairing in the killer's face they can't kick the gen, which would be their clue.. or you may even be able to hide in plain sight, which would make some amusing interactions. I can also see situations where as the killer I can get bitten once by Mirrored Illusion, and even if I work out its an illusion, I still have to discern if the survivor is actually there, or faking me out.
I think this version would still see Mirrored Illusion be pretty niche, but actually have some uses/be kinda fun.

That‘s a good idea. They could also make it so you can spawn an illusion survivor that moves/takes chases by using the survivor bot AI.

I like using aestri's perks while on her, and it still saves me from getting hit but very rarely. One thing that gives it away as an illusion is the fact that it doesnt move, and has this cloudy effect whos only purpose is to tell the killer its an illusion lol. If they atleast make the illusion more believeable that be a big buff alredy, as killers often try to hit it to this day because the perk is so rarely seen they arent expecting it. (Its especially funny when its a legion wasting their power combo on it because they didnt see the killer instinct effect was on the other side of the gen lol).
As for being invisible, im not sure if thatd be too much as with the above changes the killer would alredy have a confusing dilema on which survivor is fake and which one they should hit. If it was more believable it might even make ghostfaceand myers confused as to why their staring isnt working lol

Good shout on it being a pretty hard counter to Myers/Ghost Face, didn't think of that... 🤔🤔🤔

Mirror Illusion is already heavily oppressive perk with minimal requirement to activate. Defienetly no need for any buffs.

Killers with no mobility will waste time going to that illusion, most likely losing enough time to that. While it has minimal impact to mobility killers, so yeah. The perk is more than strong and doesnt need any buffs.

I really want this perk buffed and given meaningful attention. Perks are closest thing we get to survivor powers and I'd love to have them be an enticing choice.
Maybe let us spawn multiple having charges? Maybe as OP says make it make our gen noises silent (not the gen itself tho) while active, or totem/chest noises.S-Tiers have no weight in any discussion they need nerfed. As for "m1" who are suffering like Skully they need buffed (rework on the way) and that has nothing to do with this perk.
