Obsession perk of the day |Object Of Obsession| The issues with this perk and how to fix them

Object Of Obsession, or OoO, is an obsession perk that belongs to the survivor "Laurie Strode", or Laurel Strudel that allows visibility of Killers within a certain distance, while also revealing yourself to the killer as long as you are outside the TR


Problems with Object of obsession

This perk has alot of visible (get it?) issues, being on certain maps or being a certain killer does this perk truly show its true colours.

Being placement killers (I.E Demogorgon, Trapper, Hag) will let the user of this perk be able to say "Hey a trap/portal is over here" and they will be aware of its location before even seeing the trap, allowing the users SWF to know the location as well

Being a killer designed to make survivors oblivious also hurts the killer more than helps when this perk is in play, when oblivious the killer will lose their TR, resulting in situations where you will ALWAYS see the killer, causing this perk to have absolutely no counter as long as the survivor has the oblivious status effect.

However, Object can cause instances where they just get facecamped or tunneled immediately so the killer won't have to deal with them, causing an unfun playstyle to occur


how to fix

Its impossible to fix the SWF side of this perk, hence why I am reworking the perk instead while keeping the aura feature in a more restricted way


New object of obsession (WIP 1)

When you are the obsession, this perk activates. When the killer downs you, their aura will be revealed to all survivors for 7/8/9 seconds. If the killer is within 12 meters of the hook and no other survivor is within 12 meters, your aura will colour will change until the killer goes further than 12 meters or a survivor enters the 12 meters. All survivors are notified when the obsession has this perk equipped (The same way as Up The Ante)

If you are not the obsession, being unhooked will make you the obsession.


nEW OBJECT OF OBSESSION (WIP 2)

When you are the obsession, this perk activates. When the killer injures you, their aura will be revealed to all survivors for 2/3/4 seconds. If the killer is within 12 meters of the hook and no other survivor is within 12 meters, your aura will colour will change until the killer goes further than 12 meters or a survivor enters the 12 meters. All survivors are notified when the obsession has this perk equipped (The same way as Up The Ante)



The reason for both possible changes

OoO 1 and 2

I can thank Identity V for these as this is an example of a system in that game, when being injured or down the Hunters aura is revealed to everyone for a short duration, allowing all survivors to know who the killer is early game so they can be prepared for what killer it is before seeing them


I changed OoO to fit this for one reason alone, prevents the Midwich and Oblivious chase issue from happening, while also retaining its aura feature




I welcome all criticism on the changes, nerf or buff wise
