Anyone else wish they could disable terror radius as survivor?

It might be the event, it might be the invisible Springtraps from a patch ago, it might be killers who are undetectable as part of their kit, it might be myriad of perks that rend killers undetectable with no setup beyond doing what they would already be doing in the first place but I’m finding terror radius to be working against me far more than it works for me in my recent survivor matches. It’s so untrustworthy that it’s just distracting.

Maybe it’s just the event and those annoying undetectable buffs it gives out. I’ve started feeling like terror radius and red stains or lack thereof are just elements there to confuse survivors, not actually help. It’s like if generators started randomly throwing explosion notifications around the map for no good reason. It’s just distracting without providing any utility.

    The introduction of killers with 40 meter wide terror radiuses I think also does more to confuse you than actually give you more warning.

    I've really been enjoying Monitor and Abuse recently on Unknown and Houndmaster. Lot of people discount how effective simply having a very small terror radius; by the time any levels of the TR kicks in you're already practically on top of them anyways.

    Tbh sometimes its more disorienting then against killer with smaler or normal terror radius especialy on indoors or in chase (the distance you hear max sound from terror radius is bigger I think meaning is harder to detect him on loops how far he is when you dont see him with terror radius).
