Please rework blindness
Solo survivors are already forced to take up a perk slot to get information anywhere near that of a swfs, so I find it ridiculous that said perks can be countered by a status effect, which then does basically nothing to swfs. Pretty much the only significant ways that blindness affects swfs is with WoO, deja vu/visionary, and aura reading on the killer only to some extent. At the end of the day, the main appeal of blindness is making already uncoordinated teams even more uncoordinated, it's not healthy. A good suggestion I've seen before is making blindness limit your range of view like dredge's nightfall and funnily enough minecraft's blindness effect does. It could have a similar exception for teammates and possibly the killer as nightfall does, as not to prevent survivors from seeing each other and disproportionately hurting solos like it does now.

they would need to rework dredge's blindness add-on. i don't know. i think main purpose of blindness to to buff slugging so people cannot see people players on the floor but all that does is buff slugging against soloq. in off chance that you get ignored and bleed out on the floor. it is just weird design at the moment. it's just same old information gap-problems for soloq/swf.
I think blindness should not affect team related aura stuff and should only affect killer-aura reveal items such as Alert, Troubleshooter, Wiretap. In general, perks like empathy, bond, aftercare, kindred are not really healthy perks in the game because they just eat soloq perk slots with little relevancy for swf. so as pre one of your previous threads, it would be nice if they gave aura reading to survivor in general and turned all these perks into killer aura reading temporary killer aura reading perks. it would make blindness status effect pretty powerful as you could blind the survivor and prevent them from using wall-hack perks against you.

We definitely do not need additional hindrance for solo q, for sure.
it should be something more useful too.

Fair point about dredge's blindness addon but imo they could remove the blindness part of it and make the mangled and hemo effect permanent and itd be fine

So basically after the one million pallets, windows everywhere, endless maze loops, and huge w-key mashing headstarts you get, and soon to be nonsense anti-camping thing that will be exploited to all hell, you want the game to be even easier for survivors? Got it.

Dead by Daylight: Always a pallet when you need one

I don't have 7 mins to watch some dopey survivor complain about how the 2 dozen pallets, 2 dozen windows, w-press easy mode, ability to body block, ability to do gens when someone is camping, can see over obstacles when the killer camp isn't enough of an advantage already. Please just summarize.

Blindness is kinda useless status effect anyway, except soloQ.
Wouldn't really mind if it got reworked and renamed based on new effect.
Issue is there is kinda not much else how you can negatively affect survivors (passive)
We have slower healing, slower repairing, slower movement speed, can't hear TR, exhausted.
You can make an effect in doctor/freddy style basically getting false information instead of denying information. That would work against SWF too.

Ok, to summarize, please stop talking about completely unrelated things just because I suggested a survivor buff which is actually more of a survivor nerf in reality lol. "2 dozen pallets, 2 dozen windows, w-press easy mode, ability to body block, ability to do gens when someone is camping, can see over obstacles when the killer camp" literally has nothing to do with blindness, you're basically talking to yourself because it has nothing to do with the main point of the thread, go and make your own

There is a suggestion for a rework in the post

That might work too.
Could be simply more fog (blurry) instead of full black Dredge style.

Something like that, anything works for me as long as it's not just a solo destroyer :)
