Possible Spirit Tweaks
She's a top tier killer and it's pretty hard to mind game her considering she'll either do it to us first or just phase, come out of no where, and cut us down. I know some people actually manage to lose that killer and mind game her but I've not seen many people do so. Now, I do understand there are perks to counter her just like everyone else. For example:
-Dance with me & Iron Will, she can't see your scratch marks for a moment after vaulting and cannot follow your moans in pain. But not everyone wants to use these perks every game just to keep an eye out for one killer.
But the same goes for all killers, they all have perks that counter them. Not everyone is going to use the few perks that counter one killer for all matches. Most killers at least are able to be countered with just a little common sense.
Now, I'm not going to say remove her phasing, as I recall hearing from numerous people back during the Freddy rework is that people got mad they could not see him which is one reason he was changed (I'm sure there were plenty more and bigger reasons for his change though). And I still hate his change (and I don't even play killer all that much, mostly survivor)...
1) However, perhaps put a not very noticeable clouded trail on the path she's phasing. It doesn't have to be on the exact path though, more like an approximated area. Again, it won't be too noticeable in the first place so you'll actually have to pay attention to see it which I've seen most survivors just run and not look back so it wouldn't hurt many Spirits.
2) I saw a video where a Spirit didn't even have to use their power at all during a match to do very well because they are mind game gods with their power. This, in my personal opinion, is one of many things that make her top tier. If a Spirit stays still, it's a coin toss, is she phasing or not? I feel there should be some very noticeable animation after about 2 seconds or so of her staying still that will show people if she is indeed phasing or not.
3) Prayer Beads, too op? I think so. All other killers don't really get an opportunity to pull you off a gen (unless you're committing too hard) because you know they're coming. If Spirit slaps this addon on and hears a chugging generator, guess what? You're probably one shot (and possibly scared half to death if you're like me). I know there are one shot killers and I'm not calling them unfair but at least we know they are there. Spirit though? No idea she even exists. While, sure, most killers get op rare and ultra rare addons this spirit addon feels like the most op addon out of all the killers. And most of those other op addons out there? Still able to be countered. I don't have an idea of how to tweak it to still please Spirit mains but also satisfy survivors but it definitely needs something.
For now, these are the only things I could think of that need tweaking. I'm sure a lot of killer mains will just brush this off and say "No. Just no." but I doubt you play survivor then and don't see how unfair she can be as a killer. I know that not all killers should be easy to verse and that's not what I expect, but they should all be somewhat fair...-ish (that being said I know there are plenty of survivor perks that need tweaking to make survivors more fair to play against as killer, I just don't have ideas for those perks).

No. I play survivor and when I face a spirit I know exactly what to do because I main her.
So, git gud and start learning her counters

Having a perk isn't a good counter play.

I agree with adding some faintly noticeable trail that the survivors can see while she is phasing. Much like the Wraith, you can still somewhat see his outline while he is cloaked, so why not the same for Spirit. (The static audio cue does little to nothing to help other than knowing she is nearby.) She already has super fast movement speed AND a huge lunge coming out of phase. Even if she can't see you, she can still see your track marks and hear you, which are plenty of senses from my experience.
Whatever the rework is, I hope it doesn't take 2 years for the devs get on it (e.g. *cough* the Nurse *cough*).
