Spirit Nerf Idea

It cant be denied that spirit is a controversial killer. The popular complaint is its not clear if spirit is phasing or not, allowing the killer to stand still in order to catch survivor off guard.

My idea is very simple, when spirit is using their powers an aura effect emanates from the spirit, making it clear if they are using their power or not.

    to be honest, as a killer main who doesn't own and hasn't played spirit yet. That mind game of standing still seems really cool part of. and one of the selling points of the killer to me. Not knowing where the spirit is or what she's doing seems like the theme of the killer. I dunno, not educated enough to make another suggestion, and it certainly seems like something needs to change, pretty much all killer and survivor mains agree she's OP.

    The Spirit doesn't need to be nerf none of the killers or perks or add ons need to be nerfed if your can't play dbd then maybe the world of warcaft is more your speed don't come on my game and start complaining about the game because you can't play the game the point of the game isn't about what rank you are that you can't use that add on or perk the point of the game is to have fun if you like playing survior with other players or playing killer.

    I mean I guess, it wouldn't really help because you still don't know where she is when phasing.

    Make her visible and I'd call it a day

    It was the case on her release, when she was phasing she had a kindof static effect on her body (not sure if it was intended then). But it has been fixed. So im not sure they will come back to this.

    IMO, I think they should nerf her somehow yes (because escaping from her is literally impossible at the moment you are injured, except if you run iron will, which is not always the case) because you can't loop her when injured, and her second hit will not take long to be given. But her nerf should be about her senses while phasing. I'd say to do one of the following: make her deaf while phasing OR make her unable to see scratch marks and leave this ability to add ons ONLY.

    What do you think?

    My changes to spirit would be to when she phases have her have a dim shadow on the floor that reveals her location. This would reward skilled and attentive survivors while giving her counterplay yet keeping spirit as strong as she can be. One reason I really want this to be the change is because she would feel more like a ghost that way.
