DO SOMETHING ABOUT OBJECT

You do know that they only see your aura, but not the exact location you placed your traps right? Like I can see you placing a trap, but I won't know where it exactly is because I'm far away from you.

And of course it is open to be used by SWF groups, but so are everything else. Removing Object doesn't really negate anything information wise. If they really want to beat you in a game, they don't even need to bring Object to do so. They can bring Unbreakable, Borrowed Time, Decisive Strike and Adrenaline. The "Four Horseman of Meta Perks" as someone once said.

Like I said, learn to play against Object. Because the person who is running Object most likely wants to be chased, so they can waste the most time. But you can just try to ignore them instead. The person using Object cannot always accurately call out mindgames and where exactly the killer is relative to their position.

Remember, they can only read your aura. But not your exact location.

Learn to play against Object.

And how many of those games that are "unfun" do you realistically have?

Because I am pretty sure it's a lot less than you think it is.

Someone made an interessting rework suggestion for the perk.

It was something like: When the killer see's your aura (with a perk, addon, ...), you see their aura for 6/8/10 seconds. I really liked the idea.

The perk should either let you see them as killer all the time too or straight up be different.

Edit: It was this one: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/141016/object-of-obsession-rework-idea

The perk is fine, I’ve played against OoO swf before, killed some and some of them escaped, but they escaped because they outplayed me. Also, you say it is abusable in 4-man swf but what is stopping solo survivors from running it and knowing your moves?

If they have object then just play as usual and try to kill them, sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t.

Undetectable was added so that Killers would be more consistent with each other, why do you think the community had a fit when T1 Myers was changed to have Undetectable? Their reasoning was not because of Object of Obsession, their reasoning was because they wanted the Killers to function more consistently, especially Stealth Killers.

And about the perk giving the Survivor and presumably team a lot of information. So what? Again, it's not like they know exactly where you placed down your trap. Do you really expect SWF teams to completely understand what their teammate who has Object is saying?

People who play with friends aren't going to always play optimally, even if one is running Object. And those who are playing optimally can still be defeated if you ignore the person running Object and go for the obviously weaker targets. Object won't give the person who is running it perfectly clear cut information, so how would you be able to abuse it to tell the other survivor what the killer is doing? And even then, most people can tell if Hag is placing a trap and shutting down a loop. They'll most likely just run for the next one.

"She's placing a trap!"

"Yes I can see that!"

You can win against sweaty players. It is fine, if they beat you then they outplayed you, if you win then you outplayed them.

Of course Undetectable made stealth abilities consistent across the board, but immunity to aura reading was new to them all except T1 Myers. Players had kicked up a fuss about OoO vs the likes of Wraith and Ghostface for a while at that point. What does immunity to aura reading meaningfully do for stealth killers outside of dealing with Object? I don't think anyone had an issue with being revealed by Dark Sense. It's pretty clear what that change was targeted towards.

If the Object user is across the map they won't know exactly where a trap is placed, but at a moderate range with basic map knowledge you will pretty much know exactly where a trap has been placed. You'll know exactly where traps are if you follow the Hag around just outside of her TR.

The point is that you can't ignore an Object user as Hag, because otherwise they will disarm all your traps and completely neuter your power. An object user being able to communicate some of their information to teammates is just the cherry on top.

OoO is completely unbalanced and unfun to go up against, if I go up against a solo survivor who's running it I break them over my knee and tunnel them into the dirt because I have to assume they're in a SWF. Regardless of their skill towards the game and what sounds like a fun time for both sides, one person must be taken out of the game immediately because of said perk. It's also why folks will bring mori's as well, to avoid DS which is often paired with OoO.

Not saying that's the only reason why people will bring a mori, just saying it's another reason to bring a mori.

OoO gives an absurd amount of information, vs Hag/Trapper they can be disarmed almost entirely with the information gathered... But Wraith/Ghostface lose a lot of power from the survs knowing that what killer it is ahead of time before they cloak.

Legion and Doc lose out the ability to catch all survivors(or at least 2) together at the start.

Deathslinger has a 24 TR and runs monitor, with their heartbeat music fading in, so they can get close and use their power.... OoO nullifies this. When in the dreamworld, you can permanently see Freddy.

All killers are affected negatively by this, it's a toxic perk that dismantles just about everything a killer can do. Atop of that someone with OoO can put distance between themselves and the killer whenever they approach, they are capable of just punching out gens while also providing intel up the wazoo.

It's one of the strongest perks in the game, but beyond that it's one of the most toxic perks in the game as well. Unhealthy and unfun, it should be taken out of the game and just reworked into something else.

You can't genuinely think OoO is "the most abused" perk in the game. As killer at red ranks, I run into it 1/20 games. It's still a very high risk perk.
