Distortion Rework

I know Distortion was too strong as it was but now it's too weak, especially now that they buffed some of the things with aura reading for killers.

I suggest we start with one token, then in the killer's radius we can gain up to one token (max) and only have one token at a time.

This would help the gen jockey's (non-loopers) be able to play the game and have fun. And, it would not prevent the killer from seeing the aura of survivors if they have multiple ways to see auras. It's a win win.

OR… Archael suggested in another post that we should be able to earn tokens from conspicuous actions. This would encourage survivors to actually do the gens!

    This would not make it better, it would still have the same problem as old Distortion had, that being immersed Survivors just hiding all the time not doing anything to progress the game, but with only one Token even that wouldn't really work for them, since the Killer would eat through that one Token too easily, I think there is a simple solution tho!

    Instead of being in the Killer's Terror Radius, or in a chase, you gain Tokens by working on Generators!

    Distortion

    Distortion starts with 1 Token, after completing a total of 40% worth of repair progress on generators, regain 1 Token, up to 2.

    When your Aura would be read, Distortion activates and consumes a Token. For the next 10/11/12 seconds, your Aura and Scratch Marks will not be shown to The Killer.

    I think this would be the perfect version of Distortion, Survivors are happy, because Distortion users are doing something to progress the game, Killers are happy (probably), because Survivors are no longer hiding all game in their Terror Radius, and Distortion users are happy, because they can regain Tokens without dying.

    I prefer to start with 2 tokens, but you need to be in the chase for 20 second to add an extra token.

    Even if you are bad to do some cheese, your hook time is a resource that every survivor needs to exploit to win.

    If I'm hook 2 times, and you play the most safer because u can't do chase, I 'm goind to die, 100% because you don't distract the killer.

    New distortion is problematic, because it should be safe perk, for stealthy players, but at the same time it req surv to play NOT stealthy to gain stacks.

    So as I said in different topic and was mentioned in op. Tokens shihldd be earned by conspicuous actions, so that game can progress while distorted players can play safe.
