Delete Kindred (Solo survivor buff)

I personally think such a base perk should only work 15 seconds after the killer hooks the survivor. Kindred however would maintain it's current effect of being instant or if you want to go the normal route the delay is 6/3/0 seconds. Thus if they aren't camping the killer isn't punished for it and 15 seconds will tell survivors who is or isn't going for the hook.

Edit: Right I got confused with Kinship and Kindred. I still generally stand by what I said. I suppose you could give it's aura killer read effect to Kinship as an instant effect rather then having the delay. Just occurred to me though that I don't think aside from Kinship that there is a single perk that delays hook progress to make camping less viable.

The biggest problem with cammaraderie is that others dont even know you have it. An icon next to your name would do wonders. Same with power struggle and perks like that

Will we also be closing the gap between killer and swf if we do this change?

They would need to come simultaneously.

If we make an aura reading perk basekit then what's the point of the current info perks we have ?

Aftercare exists for a reason and it is a great perk in SoloQ if you're a altruistic survivor and always go for the unhooks and heal your teammates it can be quite effective the only downside is that you lose the effects when getting hooked which is okay imo.

If you make Kindred aura reading basekit then all the info perks survivors have are useless.

and to not mention that having Kindred basekit can be quite strong at Mid-High MMR where even some solos players can be coordinated and will go trades while others stay on gens.(even without seeing the Killer's aura Kindred is a powerful perk not to be underestimated.)

Here is something I would suggest make the loading screen like DBD Mobile where you can see what perks are your teammates running this is a fair change and will help SoloQ alot it will encourage interactive/coordinated plays.

Imagine I am playing Cheryl with Soul Guard the killer is slugging me on the ground with the gates opened he's respecting my DS and will wait 1 whole minute for it,now since my teammates know which perks I am running Zarina comes in with For the People making a huge clutch play,the killer hits me and did not respect SG we both get out beceause of this nice coordinated play.

By making Kindred basekit info perks like Bond and Aftercare will be useless,Kinship/Camaraderie will be useful if Survivors know which perks you're running.

Well, but it means your teammates where looking at their screen while loading (some people do something else while waiting to enter the game), and remember who has which perks.

I agree because solo survivor sucks at times, but at the same time, I will definitely be sad if all survivors worked as efficiently as swf, because I hardly ever enjoy matches where the survivors are efficient. Though definitely agree so I am super conflicted, but I play survivor more nowadays since I am prestiging them, so yes definitely solo buffs give me.

Or solos can just run Kindred.

The core gameplay loop of DbD is not deep enough to account for every survivor having peak SWF strength.

why they should lol

Yes this way I have receipts when I ask my teammates post match why they weren’t doing any gens while I was being chased OR you-know anything at all.

This way I can also calculate if only one or all of them are crouching and I need to go for the save.

I am pretty sure being able to show everyone’s auras is going to force those teammates to optimize the objective and commit to a gen or take a hit fit the teammate on death hook. I am sure of it. /s
