Small blue icon down right like Prove, Leader and We'll make it shows?

A lot of times teammates would maybe let me heal them and not ignore it when Sloppy is applied.

Yes most people can see its on just by the healing speed alone, but it would be helpful if icon was shown too.

    Well, Leader and Prove Thyselves are "aura" perks (not in the typical sense, they have a buff "aura"). So that's why they have a small blue icon. We'll Make It is a timed perk, so it makes sense to show it to you and your unhooked survivor (so they don't run away). However, Botany Knowledge is a permanent healing speed increase and doesn't fall under the category of "aura" perks, that's why it won't show up with a blue icon for others.

    Seeing a yellow bar when getting healed by another survivor would be nice (if they have BK equipped).

    Technically, Botany does not affect the person being healed. Yes, they get healed faster, but the only character being affected by the perk is the one doing the healing, as they get the heal speed increase.

    It would be a major help to solo queue and the viability of off-the-wall perks to have more information shared between survivors about the perks they've brought.
