New aura hiding Perk or add to Technician

Eh, why not. Nice idea.

I'm okay when the game has stealth and hinding elements and the developers provide a huge amount of perks so the players can play this playstyle. It is just the line between healthy and unhealthy/good and bad stealth for both sides. If the survivors hide forever and nothing happens, this is just miserable and boring for the killer. This was also the reason why the developers did some changes on the stealth part of dbd because at some point it was just extremly boring and annyoing (too much) - of cause this might be funny on the survivor side but we have to keep in mind that we need both sides to play the game which means both sides should have fun. This part also counts for other situations. In addition, it is also not good when one teammate hides forever while their teammates are dying, this is just miserable for SoloQ. In my opinion, the developers do a good job by preventing situations like these. However, this is something where everyone can have a different opinion and we automatically disagree to some degree.

Year agree, the developers should rather rework or buff bad perks instead of introducing new perks because new perks will always have the potencial of either being bad or unhealthy. Some new perks like Finesse or Unforseen are really cool but they could have reworked Cut Loose and Territorial Imperative into these effects. But I guess they will never stop with introducing new perks because this is an extra reason for players to buy the characters. Not every perk has to be super S+ tier but at least every perk should have a useful niche.

I can understand when someone says Weave Attument is a stupid perk or rat poison is a stupid Addon on Chucky, or Blood Amber is a stupid survivor Addon because I agree on this and already made my statement in forum topics about these two (I agree with some situations feel cheap). But I disagree when someone makes the statement of aura reading is in general bad for the game because it is not - the design can be bad but not the idea behind it or to make them useless. I can also understand when someone wants aura protection - which is why I suggested to give other perks a little aura blocking part instead of having unhealthy clutch perks - but it should be a healthy and not a clutch one. This was the issue of old Distortion that it was able to counter the usual aura perks on the killersides which created the issue that killer used less aura perks for more slowdown and began to tunnel more due to the missing new targets. Meanwhile, many Distortion users were not helpful teammates in terms of helping (taking chase instead of sitting on gens or spreading hooks instead of hiding).

What exactly is 'unhealthy' about situational aura blocking after you've given up 2 hook states?

No, I didn't mean your suggestion is unhealthy - My second paragraph was more about my own general opinion on the topic "aura blocking" and not your suggestion. There was just the question for me why you should use this suggested perk over OtR but with your explanation I'm okay with it.

Jolt has a range and the screams aren't directional. If someone is screaming from jolt you can probably just y'know, see the gen being worked on. Discordance only works vs survivors that group on gens. Good survivors do not do this. It gets way way less valuable when you go up against good opponents. Surveillance works, but there's a reason it's rarely run: it's clunky. Dead Man's switch works on one gen, if a survivor let's go after a hook. That's useful, but not as information. Thrilling tremors has a longass cooldown, a short duration and is otherwise very very tepid information.

It's got the same problem the last iteration of distortion did in that it makes aura perks unreliable. Hook with BBQ and don't see anyone because they're using their infinite aura suppression perk on a gen. That'll feel great. Hook someone with alien instinct and don't see anyone cuz they're just on a gen. Great. Run floods of rage, don't see anyone but the unhooker. Not valuable information.

I cannot believe yall are in a tizzy over distortion still. My survivor games haven't changed at all and as killer is nice to be able to actually use aura perks.

Huntress is one of like... Two killers that can actually make a full aura build work. Nothing has changed in that regard and if you had the last iteration of distortion she's also one of the few killers that could kill out all the stacks due to her substandard terror radius. It's exactly the same as it was before the distortion nerf.

You can harp on about "wallhacks" until your lips fall off but the fact is that every aura perk has a thing the killer has to do to make them work. That's not how hacks work. "Yeah my aimbot only turns on after I headshot someone on my own". See how ridiculous that is? But you know how ridiculous it is, you're just mindlessly parroting the Aura Bad mentality.

I agree. It definitely feel like something more should be added to technician. Even the "less noise during generator repair" is a bit weak. The noise reduction is so minimal the killer can literally just SEE you on then gen at that point. Though I like to use it since some nights I don't want to worry about random slip ups or merciless storm or any of the doctor stuff.
