We're a nerf or two away to justify making Boons global range.

So, Circle of Healing has been holding back other boons from being good, and now that it won't allow you to self-care, how about extending the boon range to being global?

A few tweaks may be needed for this to happen.

For example, nerfed CoH will reveal auras of players inside the area of effect of the boon. How about removing it and just apply a +50% faster altruistic healing for everyone as long as the boon is up?

Exponential could get the increased recovery speed removed and make the self-pick up global as long as the boon is up.

I don't particularly think Dark Theory needs much tweaking. Maybe the global range will make it somewhat more useful than it is now.

Probably the one that needs a little bit more thought is Shadow Step. The scratch mark removal may be a little bit too much to be a global effect, so perhaps only keeping the Distortion-like effect? If we're adamant on keeping both, we can literally just copy Distortion and make scratch marks pause for a couple seconds if the killer tries to reveal player auras. Although, personally, I think the aura-blocking is more than enough for a global effect.

Maybe people don't agree with me on this one, but I think part of the reason the CoH nerf looks so atrocious is precisely because you can just use Botany to have the same effect without needing to retreat to the furthest corner of the map just to get a heal on someone else. With this change, I think boons still have a reason to exist.
