Bring back good distortion.
Fed up of getting hit through walls by vecna's spamming aura read builds.
Tbh when distortion got nerfed i was chill with the changes. But now every vecna is constantly using aura reads the perk is virtually worthless. Against the one thing it is explicitly aupposed to counter.

On another note it was nerfed to prevent players from hiding all round, which the new birds system was brought in to prevent afterwords, so there isnt much of a reason to avoid reverting the perk as something else is alredy preventing players from hiding all round now.

Being able to just turn off a whole class of killer's perks with just one perk is not healthy for the game balance. It's like giving the killer a perk that would unconditionally disable all exhaustion perks.
The new bird system does not change much, people still can hide all game, especially at the end when there are 2 survivors left. So no, it doesn't prevent anything.

Well the gen exhaustion + bird exhaustion does disable every exhaustion perk, and the game has gotten to a point where nearly every killer now heavily relies on aura reading rather than game sense.
But another thing was put into place to prevent long games of hiding and thats the killer abandon feature. The survivors are forced to touch generators which eventualy give their general location away, or the killer can abandon if no generators have been done for 10 minutes. Im not sure what the results are but when i had it happen a long while ago, i abandoned and it even gave me the adept achievement apparently counting the survivors as sacrificed. But anyway, there are more things in place to prevent hiding all round, while killers have gained atleast 5 or 6 more aura perks since distortion's nerf, and auras are completely spammable, even deerstalker would eliminate distortion on its own after a bit.
And killers have 1 perk to disable an entire class of blinding perks and items so its not that unfair.

- I agree, Distortion should start with 3 tokens, but tokens should be refilled ONLY on chase... problem solved.

Problem with old Distortion was that a) it allowed players to stealth out full games and b) was so strong that every other perk which hid your aura was horrible bad compared to distortion.
If a perk is so good in the thing it does that many other perks are invalid it should be brought back in line.
And just for Information purpose. Old Distortion and the nerf of Sloppy Butcher spiked the 4 gen slowdown meta in its days, because there was nearly no reason to bring an Aura perk at all.
I think the others are right. If the AFK crows get fixed and it only recharges in chase Distortion can get its 3 tokens back.

Make distortion work on generator progress.
Not on chase. Killer mains suggesting "making it chase" also had no idea why and how distortion worked.
And this is why you dont only listen to one side's feedback on a perk THAT IS NOT THEIR'S.

That's my main issue, a distortion player is explicitly trying to avoid being found. Forcing them into chase defeats the point.
Gen progress for tokens is a good shout. That way you make sure the player is still contributing.

This isn't necessarily true, aura while in chase can be just as useful as aura to find a survivor. I've started using Distortion specifically to try and counter aura reading Vecnas, I don't want to completely avoid chase, I want to try and minimise the information that the killer receives while chasing.

See i run distortion too, and my tokens get burned so quickly i can't get any use out of it. Since most aura read killers are running leth i start the game with no tokens half the time

I completely agree, being left with nothing as soon as the match starts if the killer has Lethal is annoying. But I believe the way that tokens are earned works well enough, the issue is how low the token cap is along with only starting with one token.
Buffing the cap to 3 and simply starting with 2 or 3 tokens would make a huge difference IMO.

Idk i still think being in chase to get tokens is not great. Particularly with this current vecna meta, vecna is particularly good at ending chases quickly, stops you genning many tokens unless you are particularly good at chase, which I'm definitely not, and tbh most of the survivors who are, won't be using distortion because they don't need it
