I just used Iron Maden

I was playing huntress with Iron Maden and I've noticed that at one point in the match I see a bubble like someone came out of a locker and screamed but I heard no scream. Is that the infamous scream nerf everyone is talking about? I had to figure out who actually screamed (it was a Meg 😶) and barely got a down thanks to Iron Maden. It's a really bad nerf honestly

    If this works the way I think it does does that mean they obliterated doctor? Cuz that's hilarious if true.

    "Yep. You can now only hear scream within 19m of you, despite nobody asking for this change and it screwing over practically every perk that involves screams. But hey, at least the screams you CAN hear are directional. That's a fun, fair, and balanced trade, right? Right? Someone please tell me I'm right..." - The BHVR dev who approved this dumpster fire

    Thankfully they didn’t touch Doctor at all, he’s completely unaffected by the change actually.

    It's a bad change for both killer and solo survivor.

    They should've made it 3D within 19 meters to help killers pinpoint the direction of the nearby scream and then left the 2D mapwide the same outside of 19 meters. That way solo could still guess what perks the killer is running (info SWF already gets) and killers outside 19 meters can still make use of their perks by hearing who screamed. Remove the noise notification so killers can continue to distinguish perk scream from gen explosion/crows/fast action noise notification.
