Curious what the community thinks of killers who play with either aura perk builds or perk-seeing abilities (like Legion)

    Legion and many other killers has killer instinct which is very different from aura perks (killer instinct cannot be given by a perk but can be by an add-on, aura can't be in any killers kit, only in add-ons or perks).

    I honestly don't understand why survivors hate aura builds so much, they are weaker than any other build that gives actual value (aura perks just gives information on where to go and wall hacks in chase which is limited and given only by a few perks/add-ons while not making the match easier with things like slowdown or makes the killer easier to play, nurse is an exception, as the killer still need to chase using their power with skill and they don't get bonuses like haste or lower cooldown after a hit).

    From my experience, the disdain for aura builds is specifically not about the killers that still need to outplay a loop. Judgement, Nurse, Pyramid head and to a lesser degree Unknown are the ones I see getting blowback for it.

    Depends. I always run aura as killer but it's usually pretty counterable if you figure out what the killer is running. Certain killers I hate playing against it, like Nurse and Judgment.
