Distortion back to normal

[i ArE BaBooN]

Ive used the perk distortion a lot. it makes me in some way, a stealthy survivor.
All the killer van use META to conseal there auta or there terrorradius.
Now youve nerfed Distortion to 1 token and 12 sec of no scratchmarks and aura reveal. on to of that we need to be 30 sec in there terrorradius. i liked the old distortion and i want it BACK!!!!!!!!!

[Maverihk]

get it back. this is making me play a lot less.

Survivors aren't allowed to play stealth because killers would have to actually use their eyes and ears to find you. Can't have that.

No it was a broken and unhealthy perk.

LOL there was nothing wrong with distortion before the nerf. Only bad killers complain about it.

Lethal pursuer + BBQ & chili are unhealthy for the game.

I mean.. if you want to play stealthy than try new strategies, I guess. YOu cannot rely on Distortion alone now. Use lockers or hide behind gens to avoid detection by aura read... or... get chased and recharge distortion

Survivors that are hiding are bad for the game. Before the nerf one guy could hide for the whole game resulting in the killer tunneling more often bc he literally cant find the hiding rat.
This change was much needed and now you can more easily use it in chase which is great to combat aura reading add ons for chase.

i mean killers have alot of aura reading perks probably main reason survivors want it back

The problem is you're going to get aura reads constantly, regardless of any other strategies. There's nothing wrong with stealthy survivors other than killers have been using aura reading as a crutch to immediately find people instead of actually having to look and listen.

Or you could, you know, learn to loop and help spread hook-states around instead of hiding like a rat all game and letting your teammates die.

That's pretty rare in my experience. And those types of players will just find other ways to sandbag the team.

[macaroni salad]

theirs nothing wrong with distortion just with the survivors who use the perk

[Danzan]

True, it was fine, no reason to nerf it, or it should be gen time based

[★ Møndhirsch ★]

It's kinda a paradoxon:
-> it's healthy that it got nerfed because it countered to many Killer perks at once
-> it's unhealthy that it got nerfed because it has to be stronger considering how many Aura reading perks you can equip (way to weak now)

Maybe the solution lays somewhere between.

Disagree. There are at least 77 ways killers can see auras of survivors directly. That's way too much in my opinion. If they're upset over their aura reading not working, they should try a different tactic instead. Example, Discordance or Spies from the Shadows.

In my experience, they don't give up even when I do loop. I recently tried that with Wiretap and Repressed Alliance in the Preschool's boiler room with a nurse and despite being able to see her, she wouldn't go bother someone else during the entire duration of Wiretap, thus I couldn't get anything done. However, I do agree that those that use it shouldn't be throwing their teammates under the bus for nothing. If anything, Distortion should be tied to two things: 1.) Generator repair progress and 2.) Healing survivor health states. Start with two tokens, but can earn up to a max of five.
