An Idea For Spirit Tweaks
Hey! So we all know that Spirit is probably the most infamous killer to play against right now. When I play her/against her survivors have a tendency to DC and I understand. A good Spirit just needs a headset to be good. So, I've been thinking of a couple of tweaks that would require a bit more skill from the Spirit.
Make sounds while phasing non-directional:
Reasoning: Now when you're chasing an injured survivor you won't know exactly where they are by listening to their grunts. You still get to hear if you're getting closer to them, but have to guess from what direction the groaning in coming from. You get to see in which direction the survivor is heading while you're starting your phase, now the survivor has the ability to start walking in a different direction or keep on walking ahead to mindgame you. I think this would be a healthy change for her.
Remove Spirits collision:
Reasoning: Pretty straight forward. You try to hide while Spirit is phasing but she hits your collission and now knows where you are. Free hit. It's a bit of an unfair advantage to have when her power is supposed to be about mindgames. This change might not be as needed as non-directional sounds, but it was just an idea.
Rework Prayer Beads:
Cause how are you supposed to counter an opponent you don't know is coming towards you?
An idea for a rework could be "Allows for you to see the auras of survivors, while phasing, when they'd normally be revealed to you." Nurse's Calling, BBQ, I'm All Ears etc.
Any thoughts? The idea for her power is great and she's a killer that's really fun to play as, but I feel like these changes would be nice QoL changes so survivors can have more counterplay.

What change do you suggest for Prayer Beads? You cannot just simply remove it.

I don't have any idea, I'm just asking for a rework. If Spirit was to follow the trend that other killer have gotten lately it'd probably be something along with "Hitting a survivor after phasing, the survivor will be affected by the Mangled status effect for x amount of time" but we all know those are some of the most boring addons killers can have.
Edit: Came up with an idea in main post

The first suggestion about making iniured sounds omni directional while phasing would not be a good change at all. A better suggestion would be to add a "tell" when Spirit is phasing.

But that's not gonna help much if you're injured, she'd still be able to pinpoint exactly where you are. Leaving injured survivors no way to mindgame her. Her "wooshing" sound is non-directional, so why shouldn't the sounds for her not be? This way it becomes a guessing game for both sides.
It'll work kinda like Huntress. You can hear that she's around and coming closer to you, but you have no idea from which direction. Could work the same way for Spirit. She can tell that an injured survivor is around and that she's getting closer to them, but she won't know in which direction they are. This leaves injured survivors more options.

These are some pretty interesting changes.
The non-Directional cries would make it to where the Spirit has to hear the cries get louder in both ears and eventually footsteps to catch the survivor.
Collision shouldn't have been a thing from the start, it feels awful when it happens to you while trying to "mindgame" the Spirit.
The Prayer Beads change has great potential to be an interesting add-on and can be synergistic with other perks with it.
As a Spirit player I approve of these suggestions.

Collision should be removed period, I don't think it should be auras, make it a ultra rare and make it so you can see Survivors within a 8 meter range?

Still think it's a bad idea. It shouldn't be a guessing game for either side and what survivors have complained about most is not knowing when she is phasing, vaulting and having collision while phasing.

Spirit is fine. The only thing thing that needs to be change is her anal beads addon (which just needs to be change from very rare to ultra rare)
