Devs should really consider removing dying survivors ability to see team aura when in dying state.
Title.
Dev's should really remove the ability of a dying state Survivor to see your team's aura, while in the dying state.
NOTE: I am NOT applying this to the healthy/injured Survivors that are not downed. They can keep ability to see dying state teammates aura. I am -only- talking about the survivor's who are in the dying state. They should not be able to see where their team is.
It's consistently used to troll by salty teammates, or by Killers breaking Terms of Service and cooperating with a survivor. Far too frequently. Any legitimate benefit of this ability, to "crawl to your teammate" is outweighed, heavily, by the benefit from removing the ability to troll your team.
Furthermore, some killers love to break Terms of Service, to stall the game and pick up and drop the 2nd to last survivor, cooperating with them to tell them where the 4th final survivor is…. by using dying state aura.
Lastly, some survivors, when downed and there is no hope left in the game, will intentionally aim their bodies right in the direction of the final survivor, and crawl to them, changing direction as the survivor moves…. to show the killer where they are and hope the killer kills that one instead… and that the downed one is allowed to live instead. The right move is to accept you got downed and give the final teammate a chance at escape through hatch or exit gates.
Survivors in dying state should just have this removed. The benefits of removal far outweigh any benefit of dying state survivors seeing their teammates.

Um ...no .. don't hide in the corner and most likely you won't have a salty team mate. I'm guessing this was you as no survivor would ever want this

breaking the rules to crossteam is punishable with a report + support ticket.
Removing this just makes slugging with blindness even harder to counter in solo and more boring.

working with the killer is a real problem if you play solo

I literally just had a game where I was able to set my teammate up for a flashlight saves because I saw their aura while I was dying and crawled in a direction where I thought the killer would face them

SoloQ players snitch all the time, for no reason other than they are salty they lost. They do it to good teammates too. Happens all the time in SoloQ.
I don't do this. If I get downed and there is 1 guy left, I accept the hook and don't do skill checks, so my character dies quicker, so the Killer has less time to find the last guy, and that means I give teammate a chance at hatch. Most people do not do this.

I have over 1,600+ DBD hours on Steam.
Yes, I made an account just for this. It happens all the time, when there are 2 survivors left. Sometimes the one who got downed, won't accept it, and either tries to do the "wiggle" communicate while in dying state to killer, OR will start crawling right to teammate to deny teammate a chance at hatch.
When there are 2 survivor's left, game is over and whoever gets caught last, has a chance at hatch or exit gates. Except, when your dying state teammate decides to work with killer, OR starts crawling right to you to give up your location so you both die.

Haha! A few days ago I had two last survivors each trying to get me to sacrifice the other, shaking their heads, pointing and nodding. It was great. But yeah, also awful if someone just tries to sell out their teammates.
