I'm not suggesting this, but i've been thinking about how this maybe could work...

What if the Killer could choose who the Obsession's going to be?

I just find it a bit odd that your Obsession gets chosen for you.
The Entity's like: "You are obsessed with this person!"
And you just go: "Ohh, o-okay."

The first obvious hurdle i thought of after imagining this is: People who want to harrass a Survivor would now gain an important tool to achieve that goal.
Especially for streamers, this would get pretty ugly.
Slap on Dying Light and a Mori and you'll get them hard that way.

I think that you shouldn't be able to choose your Obsession if you yourself do not run any Obsession Perks or Add-ons.

Maybe make being able to choose your Obsession into a high-rarity Offering.

I'm still figuring out if it could work, i like the concept.
Anyway, tell me if you think it could work in some way or not.
Tell me in what way you think it could work or tell me why you don't want it.

    This would give me a far better reason to go and tunnel streamers! ;)

    Or they just need to make being obsession to have some actual DOWNSIDES as it was supposed to be in the first place.
    At the moment, when it comes to being survivor, being obsession is nearly always a good thing, as most killer perks makes him to want you to SURVIVE for extended period of time (to get stacks/not to lose them), except for Dying light, that is barely used.
    Not to mention DS/OoO that have pure benefits when you're obsession, which is rather stupid.
