Lethal Pursuer

Since Distortion was ruined there is no counter to this perk.

Feels like every match all the Survivors start together and then the Killer is there in like 3 seconds.

    This perk countered Persuer and continues to do so, the problem with the perk was that it created/was used by "rat" players who stealthed the entire trial, while because of it, your teammates were getting killed

    Now it's healthier, because to get a token you need to, well… take part in a chase with a killer instead of stealthily spending the entire trial waiting for the hatch?

    And what's more, if you look at this situation not from the perspective of the survivors, but from the perspective of the killers, it's not normal when one perk counters the entire aura build of the killers, simply because you are in the bushes somewhere in the terror of a killer

    I thought you needed to earn tokens for Distortion to work now. How do you do that at the start of the match?

    Distortion does counter lethal at game start as others have said. The spawn changes actually devalued half the effect of lethal tbh as you should know roughly where survivors are anyway.

    Now distorion is a healthy stealth perk where you are rewarded with aura protection for interacting with the killer rather than essentially being immune and hiding all game (unhealthy). Getting chased is part of the game.

    My bad, it starts with one token.

    distortion isn't bad, you just need to work for your stealth. The perk used to be broken, and it rewarded never confronting the killer

    As long as distortion still starts with a token, you’re countering the important part of Lethal anyway.

    I would prefer survivors are told if their aura is being read (and same for killer) to make things fair, but you should assume anyway that the killer knows your general spawn location and take a safe position / rotate wisely.
