Survivor perks that should inform other survivors about them

SoloQ players need more ways to play around their teammates' perks, i.e.:

  • When someone is injured and their Clean Break is active, every survivor within 4 meters sees the perk's icon
  • When someone is on a hook and their Deliverance / Wicked is active, every survivor can see their aura in yellow
  • When someone is in a locker and their Head On is active, every survivor within 24 meters sees the locker's aura in yellow
  • When someone activates Plot Twist, every survivor sees the perk's icon
  • When you unhook someone that has Resurgence, you see the perk's icon for 5 seconds
  • When someone is in the struggle phase on a hook and another survivor can activate Shoulder the Burden, the perk's icon is revealed to other survivors
  • Other changes can be implemented like showing dying survivors' aura in yellow if they can pick themselves up or simply show the perks of all survivors on the loading screen and in the match details after pressing Tab

    apperently they are in the works of trying to have survivor their perks shown in the loading lobby once loading into a game similar to dbd mobile*.

    but honestly after last years treatment on soloq, being close to nothing but nerfs. im not optimistic about it.

    the last "buff" we had was 15s bt, will i know will get removed eventually after 1-2 months.

    which we will still be stuck with the new hud update that barely changed anything. sad.

    Again, in lobby all survivor perks can be shown. Clearly someone won't be happy about someone running urban or self care, but people already check hours on steam so it wouldn't be that much different.

    It is too much and oversimplifying teamwork for random players. I want only see my teammate's perks in lobby before match. BHVR probably doesn't want it and afraid of people leaving lobbies because of self-esteem. Since randoms would understand what's gonna be.

    If shown in the lobby it would absolutely increase lobby shopping drastically.

    Anyone doing a totem hunting build for a challenge/rift etc. or even anything at all not considered "meta" would be dodged. And forget about Adept David they'd be dodged into oblivion.

    I just had a match where I lost sight of a survivor mid-chase, and shortly after I saw they went down. Plot Twist, fair enough.

    Right after that I got into a chase with a Meg. While in chase, she runs straight over and starts trying to pick up the El who used Plot Twist. Thanks to Meg, you helped me find the Plot Twist user. The El was on death hook too, so I have no doubt she was fuming.

    This is one of those moments where a survivor notification might help. Then again, Meg would’ve had to realize it wasn't me who downed the El and it must have been Plot Twist, so I’m not even sure a player like this would notice a notification anyway.
