Simple nerf to spirit which would give her some 'counter play'
Make it so when she phases she is deaf, buff other things accordingly (maybe let her see blood at all times). This way it is now her guessing what the survivor is doing and the survivor is guessing what she is doing, also survivors can walk to hide scratch marks and misdirect her.
Or instead of making her deaf, make it so she cannot hear any noise other than grunts of pain and make it so those grunts of pain are not directional. (this means the sound does not get louder the closer you get to the survivor, merely lets the spirit know they are closer by)

It'd definitely keep her position as a strong killer and allow survivors to actually have a chance for them to make the correct play instead of rolling the dice, awesome. I guess the best solution was literally the simplest haha
Hopefully Behavior catches on
Hopefully, but probably not. They're more likely to either not fix her at all, or completely gut her.
Spirit lacks any meaningful sort of counterplay. Everything you do against Spirit while she's phasing is a guessing game. Yes, you can pre-drop pallets but that's not really meaningful counterplay.
You're getting zero information on Spirit while she's phasing, while Spirit on the other hand gets to track your breathing, grunts of pain if injured, and your scratch marks. A guessing game is not counterplay.
