Premonition Rework
You have the undeniable capability to sense danger.
When the killer leaves your line of sight within 16 meters of you, Premonition activates, and reveals the killer's aura for 5 seconds.
Premonition has a cool down of 60/50/40 seconds.
With this change I want to move this perk away from being a worse spine chill while retaining the premonition theme. I noticed that there's no perks to specifically counter a killer mind gaming a tile, so I think this change will fill that niche. The cool down helps to make sure this perk isn't too frustrating for killers.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this perk.

Problem is, what is a survivor's line of sight? Remember, survivors are on third person. I would suggest just making a visible 45 degree cone in front of the survivor for simplicity

Yeah, maybe could work, great job. :)

Maybe they could do something similar to the Ghost face reveal mechanic, only more generous. Once you see the killer within 16 meters, it checks if at least 10% percent of the killer is visible on your screen, similar to Ghostface yet again. Once the check fails the perk activates.
You are right though that the third person camera complicates this idea, but I think the perk still works. If the survivor is looking at the killer they can either look away to activate the perk or keep on looking to save it. The perk has a cooldown so they would have to be smart about when they use it and not waste it when they're in an open field. Plus it the killer goes behind cover the perk activates as it should.

GF's reveal mechanic is broken. I don't think it should be a baseline for a mechanic

It's broken because the area of detection of the screen is very small/central and you have to look at him for 1.5 seconds continuously to reveal him.
If you remember how the reveal mechanic worked in the PTB that would actually be perfect for Premonition. It was unfair for Ghostface since he was revealed out of nowhere when in stealth and from survivors looking at him from 32 meters away out of the corner of their screens due to the massive detection area on the survivor's screen. However, since Premonition works within 16 meters survivors would already know where the killer is there due to the terror radius, while stealthy killers have Undetectable to counter it, so the massive detection area on the screen wouldn't be a problem.
Plus the perk activates instantly when losing LOS of the killer, unlike needing to look at Ghostface for 1.5 seconds.

I guess that can work. In that case, I can see this being the survivor equivalent of I'm All Ears (Aura reading in chase). Alright, seems like a better perk than the one we have now
