My thoughts on the new OoO
This change basically makes it a better version of distortion, this means distortion NEEDS a rework because its basically redundant (as its only real use was exposing what aura reading the killer has and allowing you a chance to play against that before they can use it on you), new OoO is distortion with aura reading thrown in if you aren't the obsession, you also get the additional effects if you are the obsession, distortion is now redundant and the downsides of OoO aren't strong enough to use Distortion instead for safety! Even when OoO doesn't show auras because of undetectable you still get the info that they can see your aura at that given time!
It additionally becomes an easy hard counter to IAEars and aura reading addons! It does the same effect as kindred basically with BBQ so you don't have to use Kindred for a perk slot (unless you want coordination value) because most killers use BBQ and you'll see which direction they go!
Additionally with really heavy aura reading builds (or addons like bloody glove and black incense) it'll basically be current OoO and gives more accommodation to the survivor to play around it than it does the killer to play around what the survivor is doing!
Overall I'm glad you've abolished how much OoO can be abused but I find the the very few cons are outweighed by how generally valuable this perk now is, it will never be what it was but it can take a whole new place now and can still manage to act like old OoO without the drawback. The effect of being the obsession is not detrimental enough (and too hard to keep track of for the killer) only being really useful to the killer if they lose you during a chase and then suddenly you are revealed!
