Question about being Obsession

I want to understand something:

When I play survivor and I dont have an obsession perk does that mean that the killer has one and none of the other survivor has an obsession perk too?

I am just wondering if I can become an obsession over someone who uses DS when I dont have it.

    AFAIK, any survivor can be the Obsession if anyone has an obsession perk. After the last DS nerf removed the requirement to be the Obsession in order to use the perk (w/o wiggling), the initial obsession choice was randomized so that killers don't know who has DS.

    The Killers have some Perks (like Save the Best for Last) and Add-ons (like Judith's Journal) that can create the Obsession, there are also some Survivor perks that can create Obsession for other Survivors than yourself (like For the People).

    yes but I am asking if killer has e.g. save the best for last and I dont have an obsession perk but an other teammate has ds or ooo will he be obsession or is it still possible for someone to be the obsession eventhough he has no perk but someone else does. DS even says that it increases the chance of being obsession so I am wondering how much.

    I think some Killer add-ons / perks pick an Obsession randomly, doesn't matter which perks Survivors bring, but I'm not sure.

    So it's possible for you to be the Obsession even if you don't have any Obsession perks.

    That I understand, I just want to know if the killer has a obsession perk and an other survivor has one too is it still possible for me over that survivor. That is only thing I want to know. Because when killer has an obsession perk he does not know if any survivor also has one.

    It is possible.
