Which level of knowledge check is fair?

Everybody knows the extreme example: a noob gets pulled out of a locker against a legion in frenzy.

Its not a experience check like "the killer acts like he has bbq, maybe i should counter it", its simple hard facts (legion hit someone with frenzy and im in his tr), but the survivor doesnt know what it means.

There are many more (obviously bc there are over 40 killer and a lot of killer and survivor perks) and they range from cruciai info to little helpful knowledge.

Possible gameending info like that friends till the end not only exposes you, but also shows the aura, good-to-know things like the cooldowns of a killer power or some gimmicky stuff like using the hooking-animation to perfectly doge pain-res.

Personally i would just show the the big outliers, but whats your opinion?

    The Clown's add-on "Tattoo's Middle Finger" not only reveals your aura when you're Intoxicated, it also reveals your aura when you're Invigorated.

    If you run to a strong tile, like main building, shack, or a chain of maze tiles, & The Clown throws an Antidote at you before breaking line of sight, he didn't miss play, he's trying to get you to hold W to a different tile.

    I just re-read the title of the thread & realized I misunderstood the discussion.

    I thought we were sharing knowledge checks. 😳

    BHVR doubling down on newer players too much is the main reason why the overall game balance is so abandoned. They value new players much more than older ones, because their business strategy is complete throughput of players, where older ones leave for good and newer ones take their place. This is why the game is in such a sad state right now, and why problems that players have been complaining for ages continue to be ignored. So in this light, I would be against simplifying the game for new players too much, as they are mediately one of the reasons why the game in this state right now.
