    It's far more than that

    1 - Shows you where your teammates are, thus allowing you to either sit on that gen, especially if it has Ruin, so someone else saves and you don't waste time running cross map. Though, if you're super far from them, technically you should sit on the gen anyway.

    2 - It shows you if the killer walks in your direction after they hook a survivor.

    3 - It shows you if they're camping

    4 - It helps your team coordinate for you when you're hooked

    But like Bond, well, when your teammate gets hooked you also get to see how useless your team may be being, forcing you to run cross map anyway because the Meg is crouched in a corner and the Claudette is hiding in a locker and you can't even see their aura

    I think all of these fall under his first point

    It's a hard perk to quantify. It only goes as far as your teammates will allow it to. It can increase the efficiency of the entire team by a lot if the team is smart. I still get hook bombed sometimes while running Kindred. A good portion of the playerbase plays with their brain completely turned off.

    Most of those points kind of already fill in the point 1 I made.

    also it was suppose to be a snark post

    I love running it so I can see where my teammates are and I can stay on my gen and watch them make a save so I don’t waste a trip to the hook.

    I fell in love with that perk the moment I started using it.


    My favourite use is running to a team mate if you're injured so they can heal you.


    I also think it makes your time on the hook a little less boring :P
