I don't think distortion should have been nerfed.

If killers can run 4 aura stacked perks PLUS add-ons that reveal auras I believe distortion should be put back the way it was.
Seriously...I've been abusing it as killer and I feel both happy and dirty.

Distortion was not ok before the nerf you could make token to easily. The only difference between now and befofe the nerf is you need to interact with the killer if you want your token back. Each chase should be enough to give you back your 2 charge easy.

Yeah but my chases don't even last more than 15 seconds on the average survivor, 30 if they're good.
Much like myself who runs 3+ aura anything on my huntress BECAUSE I SUCK, I don't think its fair to survivors but I can't get wins on huntress any other way literally because I suck

I think Distortion is a bandaid.

Eventually they need to address how much aura reading there is in the game and stop adding it to every perk. I still don't know what they were thinking with that Predator buff.

I also think it really adds to the problem of tunneling when you have access to that much information so often during the match. It's certainly dirty but people naturally tend to want to win. I don't really blame the player. I blame the devs for making it so easy.

Distortion also had the issue where if you only brought 1 aura perk that doesn't activate too often, you're essentially down a perk slot, meaning you either brought as many aura reads as possible to drain Distortion or none at all

They should’ve just changed it so you have the original number of tokens but have to regain them by either working on a gen, going for safe unhooks, or healing teammates. Making gaining tokens back dependent on chase for a stealth perk is ridiculous.

After all, the common complaint was that Distortion users were doing nothing, right? I never even got a chance to use the perk before they made it pointless, and in the same patch gave killer aura reads a massive buff, and I’m mad.

So now killers still get to be stealthy and have constant wall hacks if they want, but not survivors-so I’m playing a lot more killer now. I find being on the receiving end of the new shiny finisher mori in solo queue obnoxious anyway.

Aura reading became popular after gen regression was gutted. If killers have no decent perks the population will plummet. If there is only one side in a multi-player game then ya got nothing.

I both second and kinda...eeeh with this? There's way too many aura perks to begin with, I miss when it was just BBQ

What do you mean killers have no decent perks? they can't figure out which ones are decent if they're running 4 aura perks every game or 2+ grim and scourge.

honestly franklin's weave is getting to be bs too...

Exactly. Use that same logic with solo queue. If it’s more often miserable than not (it is) people will play killer instead or just stop playing. Then you’re left with very baby solo survivors who don’t know how screwed solo queue is yet-and they won’t stick around for long-and SWFs.

Plus, you need 4 survivors for every killer. I don’t think the majority of killer mains want super long queue times only for every match they play to be against a SWF w/comms. If the game continues on its current trajectory, I believe that is what will happen, though.

the constant complaint was killers unable to find survivors. Hence why before the nerf I started using spies. No one ever thinks to duck around birds lol
