Since Object is getting a buff, Distortion needs one too

There's many perks that are worse versions of other perks, like No One Left Behind to Adrenaline, Tenacity to Unbreakable, Premonition to Spine Chill, etc. But Object is now gonna be a strictly better version of Distortion. The fact that you can see the killer's aura when they can see you tells you exactly what aura reading perks they have. Nurse's, BBQ, I'm All Ears, etc. And this happens throughout the whole match, whereas Distortion has 3 tokens and that's it. Besides the upcoming Small Game rework, Distortion is the only perk that starts with tokens that you can't get back over the course of the match. I suggest adding a way to get tokens back with Distortion. Even if it is still a bad perk and a weaker version of Object, it still should have something so that it isn't completely outclassed and considered unplayable.

    I wouldn't say that Tenacity and Unbreakable are similar perks let alone Tenacity being a worse version of Unbreakable. Soul Guard is much closer to unbreakable than tenacity is.

    Also of all perks to compare to Adrenaline you pick No One Left Behind and not Hope.

    I also wouldn't say Object is strictly better than Distortion as they do different things. Object shows you the killer's aura when they can see yours. Distortion blocks the ability for the killer to see your aura. Distortion has more competition with Off The Record as it's the only other aura blocking perk survivors have.

    You know what I mean. Sorry if I didn't match your preferred examples exactly.

    Yeah I think I once said that new OoO will ruin current Distortion. Would be nice if we could regain tokens
