Distortion-like Perk to Counter Teammates
Do you think it’s about time a perk can be introduced to combat other survivors’ perks that reveal you?There’s quite a few survivor aura reading perks now such as:
Empathetic Connection
Aftercare
Bond
Kindred
Empathy
I’ve had so many matches lately where another survivor running some kind of aura perk runs the killer to me. This is not like a random accident while looping, but constant deliberate attempts throughout the match. Once or twice can be chalked up to an accident, but when they run them to you during every single chase it’s obvious what they’re doing. Very prevalent in solo queue where your teammates will get you killed to save their own skin.
I would 100% run a perk that worked a little like Distortion, that blocked my aura from other survivors instead of the killer.
What do you think? Any chance of this ever becoming a thing?

Honestly it should be basekit with toggle option, and of course disabled during downed/hooked

In the one hand I completely empathise with you and do agree those aura perks are sometimes used to find other survivors to help killers.
However, on the other hand this is much rarer than trials where the perks are used as intended. Even without these perks, a killer just needs to pick a survivor up and that survivor can see auras and use that info to find you anyway.
I believe a perk like this would be a wasted slot really, judging by how rare this is. I'd rather report than waste a slot on something that would be mostly detrimental to the team, but as I say before - I do empathise with you and hate those pkayers who team with the killer to single out another.

The problem with this is that it could have the opposite effect. If your teammates can’t see your aura with their perks, then they won’t know where not to go when being chased even if they’re trying to use those perks in a good way. I don’t really think there’s a good way to fix this issue, solo queue teammates are going to be hit or miss no matter what.

The aura reading shouldn't work in chase.

Honestly this could be helpful against toxic teammates.

So make remove the few ways survivors can get info on their teammates because a few people grief with them? Blocking aura reading doesn't stop them from just running at TR radius.

It's not that they NEVER want to be caught like that, it's that they do not want to be a target of griefing by toxic teammate
