Bloodhound buff

Bloodhound is a pretty crappy perk, niche at best. It combos with Sloppy, sure, but oftentimes that isn't worth two perk slots and you should just use Sloppy. There's a few builds that could benefit from it, but not many. I think it could definitely use a buff.

Here's what I'm thinking: Keep the same effects, but also, once bloodstains have been on the ground for a certain period of time (say, 5 seconds), the killer can see their auras within a small range. This emulates the killer's ability to "sniff out" the blood with Bloodhound.

The delay would be the same for all tiers, but since higher tiers make blood last longer, the aura reading is also buffed indirectly at higher tiers. I think the range should also be the same across tiers unless they make the blood duration constant, just so only one number is changing between tiers.

    I like the idea.

    I actually have had an idea quite similar.

    Seeing as Hemorrhage is also an outdated status effect, we bake the current Bloodhound effect into Hemorrhage and make the new Bloodhound simply be blood aura reading within a very small radius.

    Or just make Bloodhounds aura reading map wide/extremely large, but add a delay to it like your idea. Either one would work great.
