Rework Monitor and Abuse

It's too oppressive on Xenomorph in Crawler mode. Not sure what can be done but something should be done.

    Can you explain how?

    Xeno isn't the only killer who can change or supress their terror radius.

    It is however the only killer without a lullaby that gives suvivors a way to detect it's proximity regardless of terror radius. Turrets.

    There is a good amount of Killers who can use it very well without being "too oppressive", if it turns out to be a massive problem then we can give Xeno a lullaby instead of nerfing this perk for the Killers who can use it well but don't deserve a nerf.

    Before we start buffing or nerfing a perk. Your suggestion gives no indication of how to fix it other than how we should balance things. So is the way you want bhvr to balance the game based on the killer who best uses the perk? Instead of nerfing a perk just because one killer is good with it, doesn't mean you have to nerf it for the rest. If the perk actually needs a change express the fundamental issue that makes it an issue on all killers.

    I don't think nerfing perks, that is too good on certain killer; is the way to go; as you will indirectly nerf them to be completely useless on other killers or straight up nerfing the perk to be unplayable to low tier.

    If anything, they focused solo on balancing killers more, so that specific Killer are not taking advantage of mediocre perks that straight up buffs those killers specifically. Monitor and Abuse is not S Teir and doesn't help every killer, unless they have a specific playstyle and build in mind.

    Plus, some people have said; you can detect the alien with the turret with built in motion sonar, that can detect the range from the killer from more then 32 meters. So, why not just simply go pick up turrets and set them up; instead of mindlessly wandering the map with a reduced terror Radius alien lingering.
