Premonition Rework Idea
Todays :
- Receive an auditory warning upon looking in the Killer's direction within a 45 ° cone within 36 metres.
Premonition has a cool-down of 60/45/30 seconds each time it activates.
New Idea :
- Receive an auditory warning WHEN THE KILLER SEES YOUR AURA OR KILLER INSTINCT.
Premonition has a cool-down of 60/45/30 seconds each time it activates.
It would give a nice buff to "general" perks that are used by new survivors while not having the hidden effect of Distortion.
Plus it allows Survivors to learn the game without getting caught out of guard every possible instances.

I honestly like the idea. It’s kinda crazy how after all these years survivors don’t have a perk to counteract or play around killer instinct

I might be the only person that likes the way this perk currently works, but this is still a pretty neat idea.
I think it would be better as a separate new general perk, though. Since Stranger Things returned to the game, new Survivors have had 6 less perks to play with than what I started out with. We could do with a few new ones, especially ones that can teach you things about the game when you use them.

Yeah, i wish more general perk would be released.

Object of Obsession already does that (aura) and its even better because you will see their aura as well
Killer Instinct will never notify survivors

But OoO is paid DLC and has the pretty big downside of revealing your aura to the Killer. As a not very good looper, I avoid this perk since it's an open invitation to the Killer to tunnel you out of the game petty quickly.
Why would it be such a bad idea to add a perk that alerts Survivors to Killer Instinct? I don't think it would be too unbalanced and mostly of benefit to newer players.
After all, more experienced Survivors know that Onryo's condemned, Legion's Feral Frenzy and Wesker's sprays etc will trigger Killer instinct, but newer players can often be caught out by the mechanic (I giggle to myself every time I pull a clueless Survivor out of a locker while in Frenzy).

Sure, its paid DLC but it doesn't make sense for the game to have one perk that does what another perk already does but worse. And how revealing your aura to the killer is a downside if your primary idea is for Premonition to alert that the killer is seeing your aura? You are saying it's better for the survivor to be alerted that the killer is seeing them but not see the killer's aura as well? It makes no sense
If you are mentioning the fact that OoO reveals both auras every 30 seconds, that should be the least of your concern if the killer is running aura builds. Most of the time the killer will not even notice your aura because they are busy chasing someone else, some other times your aura will be hidden behind a gen aura. And the devs are discouraging survivors to play immersive, hence the Distortion nerf.
