Why is "Diversion" not used more by survivors?
It seems really good, though it's not meta. Wouldn't it be OP if you used it whenever the killer was coming to you on a gen?

definitely not OP and a half decent killer would know that your notification in the middle of nowhere is a pebble, plus you need to ride the killers ass for 45 seconds to use it in the first place

Generators do hide auras to a certain degree, and the distance is mostly way too high, enough for a survivor to make it into the required zone before the perk starts to read or show the auras.

There's a reason, why was BBQ nerfed a few times..

1.Only bad killers would fall for it with how works now. It should shoot off a trail forward from where it lands.

2. Awful 45sec charge time

3. Can't hold and aim the pebble

This. It's totally trash, not meta at all
same with remember me (remember me needs to increase exit gate time more)

idk why they ever nerfed remember me. That perk wasn't even that amazing.

Only reason I can think of is if there's one survivor left and he's trying to open a door during the egc because the hatched was closed.

My experience of blocking almost finished gens to prevent Ruin's or PGTW's regression says otherwise.

Hmm.. Yeah.
Unfortunately, I've noticed it just now.

To jump back, the time required to charge it.. That just makes it kinda useless.

I mean that "can" work, but pop lasts twice as long as repressed. So if the killer rewllt wants it, he can still come back and kick that gen.

Depending on how far he is from the gen (and if he has any kind of mobility boost), he can spend up to 20 seconds just travelling to it. 30 secs of RA, and that leaves him only 10 seconds to kick it. Even if he decides to camp the gen until it is unblocked, it still works in your favor because he's doing nothing at the moment - he's not chasing anyone, he's not patrolling other gens, etc.

I'm not saying Repressed Alliance is such an amazing perk that everyone should use it, but a bit of strategy and it can have a really noticeable impact on the outcome of the match.

Its one of these "twitch clip" perks that only really work at least decently in 1/10 of the cases it is used. Its actually hard to bait a killer properly with this let alone waste their time on it for a longer time (talking about sth like average 20-40 secs here)

it only really works if placed right, if i see a notification go off, i look and see no gens in that direction, i aint going, players fast vault to get attention alot, bait you into chasing them away from a hook or a gen, doesn't work properly, it's a neat gimmick/meme perk though
