Babysitter Perk Notification? Is there anyway to tell?
Hello,
I'm just curious, because I have been having some fun running the Babysitter Perk lately for Safe Rescues..
Is there anyway for the Rescued/Unhooked Survivor to TELL that he's not leaving any scratch marks for 8 seconds?
The reason I ask, and the reason that I think something like this (maybe even as a small buff/debuff status effect or noise notification) would be really constructive is because I'm really not sure if the people that I am unhooking have ANY idea at all that they aren't leaving scratch marks... and because of this the Babysitter Perk feels wasted on them since they do not take advantage of the perk and run away, but instead sit hiding behind a bush and get caught again really easily :(
Is there any chance this is already implemented and people just haven't been paying attention? Because if not then I can't think of a good way to let them know.. I've even tried telling people ahead of the match in the Lobby, which is our only place to communicate with each other, but I just found out that you CANT Copy/Paste anything into that Chat Lobby.. huh, didn't know that, but because of that having to type up explaining that I'm using Babysitter and how it works to people every single match is kind annoying and if there is no notification in game then it seems like they just all forget anyways..
Any Thoughts or Answers?

Bump! Hoping at least some people would comment on this, and maybe help me get to the bottom of it.

Yes, this is exactly what I'm talking about! Good idea right? Honestly, so should Borrowed Time if it doesn't already, there has to be a way for the Survivor to tell that the person who rescued them just gave them a brief buff or else they won't even be able to take advantage of it!

the only way they can tell is if they aren't leaving blood I guess

Oh that's awesome, and Good To Know!! Thank You! I will have to look for that status effect next time I get unhooked to make sure I know what to look out for..
And yeah, I think Babysitter should have something similar, if it doesn't.. at least while the Survivor is making no scratch marks.

Wait you aren't told? I just assumed you were.

Yes this as well haha..
But in my case I run Babysitter with Distortion, and sometimes even We'll Make it.. so I would actually RATHER have them follow me because I can see the Killer's Aura but the Killer can't see mine or our scratch marks so if the Survivor would just follow me to safety then I could heal them up real quick with We'll Make It .. that would be ideal, but so far it's only happened like once because they always run off a different direction or just stay crouched and hidden completely wasting the effects of Babysitter all together lol..

It pops up as a small blue icon of the perk.

This is newly added in last patch if I am correct.

babysitter already does that the babysitter icon will appear next to unhooked persons perks
as an avid babysitter user i can tell most people either run away anyhow or want u to heal them
