Windows of Opportunity and breakable walls
Hello,
a question for Windows of Opportunity users.
On a recent Dev stream, it was stated that Breakable walls showing up on WoO was by design. Do you find breakable walls showing up, helpful, or an unhelpful distraction?
I personally am in the latter camp, and am struggling to see how this can be useful. I would even go so far as to say that it has cost me at least one game, as I have run toward it, expecting a standing pallet, only to be met with death.
I welcome your opinions!

Breakable walls on WoO are unhelpful
I don't like to see breakable walls while using Windows, because it's just visuall clutter.

I think it is of no use for survivors.
I don't know if it already does, but Zanshin Tactics should show them, maybe in a different color, so the killer knows of the breakable walls. Most of my games on Dead Dawg Saloon, the killer either doesn't break them, which makes no sense to me as they shorten loops, or maybe doesn't even know about them in the first place.

Breakable walls are the only prop in the game that cannot be interacted with by Survivors in any capacity.
So seeing their locations via aura reading provides no opportunities for the Survivors that cannot already be afforded by simply using your ears to listen for the Killer breaking something.
Additionally, since their auras are the same color and general shape of pallet auras they can mislead those who are inattentive, or otherwise occupied (being chased), into thinking they're pallets, and so cause them to run into a deadzone they wouldn't necessarily have if they hadn't been using WoO (Windows of Opportunity).
I don't know why or how the devs can insist the opposite of this: seeing breakable walls with WoO is at best useless visual clutter and at worst detrimentally misleading.
Either give Survivors some way to meaningfully interact with breakable walls and change their aura coloration, or remove their auras from WoO completely.

If I as the survivor cannot interact with the breakable walls, I do not care if I can see them. WoO is mostly used by newer players, who may find themselves confused as to why they see these giant yellow blocks that just cause visual clutter.
