Distortion or Iron Will?

[Alfred Kodani]

There are three survivor perks I can't live without:
--Self Care
--Urban Evasion
--Sprint Burst

(I've tried other exhaustion related perks, but none are as reliable as SB)

For my forth perk, I'm torn between two stealth perks:
--Distortion - Which is an excellent counter to BBQ & Chilli (constantly used at higher ranks)
--Iron Will - Which can help you lose the killer and avoid being downed

I like iron will because it creates new possibilities for juking the killer. But distortion prevents you from even meeting the killer in the first place.

Thoughts?

i'd go for iron will, such an amazing perk

you can counter bbq without using a perk

SB is not that good. Balanced Landing is better

[McBujon]

iron will

fun fact. stealth strategies cause more overall team losses then people who arent stealthy. yes you may get hatch. but at the expense of your team
Edit; iron will is better. if you juke a killer he wastes alot more time looking for you then if he doesnt see you in the first place

Distortion, you can counter bbq easy enough but distortion will help you avoid the other million ways a killer will see your aura.

Balanced landing can only be used when you can drop down. Sprint Burst can be used at any time.

If a killer gets close, I can SB away before he even has a chance to see me.

That's what I'm leaning toward. Unfortunately, Distortion doesn't work against the Shape's Evil Intent, or Legion's ability. (It does work against freddy though).

I've also noticed that killers using bbq don't even bother checking your general area after a hook, making it easier to finish gens.

No distortion will not stop you from being stalked, and no 99% of killers will go for the 1 aura they see with bbq and not even think that the others are probably right next to them.

Iron will...one of the best perks ever ;)

Iron Will.
It counters average or slightly better average player, who plays with The Spirit most of the time, even with Stridor Perk.

SC is a time waster use IW

im using right now iron will urban evasion self care WGLF and later ill change WGLF for stake out

Distortion not only block aura readings on yourself (naturally doesn't work against Illusionary doctor's since the doctor see the auras of the illusions nor does it works against legion's killer instinct) but gives you an idea of what is the killer using
Does it consumes a token after a hook? BBQ
Does it consumes a token while healing? NC
The NC token can save your butt if you decided to heal in a place with no pallets/safe window
And despite what the guy above says, stealth IS NOT GONNA WIN THE ENTIRE MATCH but it does help. Would you rather let yourself be discovered and enter the benny hill chase or make the killer waste time?
Let's say you're fixing a gen, see the killer from far away looking your way, you hide and the killer kicks the gen and decides to leave. You go back to the gen and continue working and the killer has wasted precious time.
I admit Discordance is bad in certain matchups, like Doc, FREDDY or the new discordance perk but the point stands. Honestly it really helps against Nurse's Calling, albeit 3 times (would be op if infinite tokens)
Regarding Iron Will, do note that Bloodhound (the best non-aura reading perk) trumps any sound perk and nothing stops Bloodhound aside from No Mither.....but who runs that?
PS = Stridor sucks, very bugged even with headphones
PS2 = Bloodhound is very good in those darned corn fields if going around injured and trying to lose the killer

I would not recommend stake out. You barely ever see the stacks go up for that perk.
