Aura perks and its interaction with Survivors idea

Would it be a good thing to have an outline on the Survivor when their aura gets revealed like in TCM? So the Survivor knows their aura is revealed and they could play accordingly. With how many Perks and addons there are in terms of aura reading on the killer side i think it wouldnt be too bad and would also mainly help casual/new Survivors.

    distortion literally does this, if the killer did some special action and your token disappeared, then killer has an aura perk/addon

    No. A lot of aura perks thrive on the element of surprise. There should be no basekit universal reveal mechanic for aura reading.

    The purpose of these perks is to help you enter a chase faster and end chases faster to balance against how fast gens get done. This would defeat the purpose of that. The game isn't a 1v1. In fact, I think the game already gives survivors way too much info about what perks the killer is using

    I think that'd be far too harsh of a nerf for aura perks, considering a good chunk of value comes from the surprise potential, as someone else said. Aura reading really isn't particularly overbearing at the moment anyway.

    That said, a perk that does this would be worthwhile. I've suggested making Spine Chill a perk that lights up when your aura's being read before, and I think that'd be very appropriate since it's a universal perk + isn't very good at the moment.

    Yeah as a new version of spine chill it might be nice. The thing i was thinking of is because for a lot of ppl DBD and every interaction can be so confusing especially in terms of aura revealing perks. Not meant in a us vs them, but more in a way that its more understandable what happened to them. But maybe DBD will always be a balance and Quality of life mess.
