Problem with the buff to hex:retribution

Probably this is something not many have thought about, but do you know the perk Distorsion? It negates aura reading on you for 10 seconds, and has 3 stacks.

Since it's such a massively underused perk, wouldn't be nice to give this perk a buff, either increasing the duration, or if keeping the 10 seconds, making it so that if the aura reading on you is longer than 10 seconds, you don't lose any stacks and your aura remains hidden until that revealing effect is over?

Yes, I know, you could just hide in a locker, but, you know, the same perks: ds, bt, ub, dh, sb, adrenaline, etc are always used, so it wouldn't be bad to have finally a new satisfying meta perk to use instead of the same 7/8 perks always.

    Distortion needs a change, but that's not a Hex:retribution problem, that's a distortion problem.

    Distortion should hide for at least 16 seconds, and there should be a way to retrieve tokens.

    Also, Retribution will be busted on Nurse, paired with Plaything.

    Distortion was added almost 3 years ago, where there was few aura reading in the game and 3 tokens were not much but sufficient. Now with so many aura reading perks/add-ons added (wall hack Plague, oni, Lethal Pursuer, Undying etc) it needs more tokens.

    I think Distortion needs a complete rework. Here's how I think it should work:

    Whenever your aura would be shown to the Killer, and they are looking in your direction Distortion activates.

    While Distortion is active, your aura will not be shown to the Killer and you leave no scratch marks.

    Distortion deactivates after it has been active for a total of 10/15/20 seconds depending on the Tier.

    This would prevent whole ass tokens from being wasted from just 1-5 second aura reading abilities, like Doc's restraint addons, and also not waste up the perk in the event that the Killer isn't looking at you.

    Alternatively, they could just add a way to gain more tokens, such as safely unhooking a Survivor, cleaning a totem, or completing a gen.

    I like that.

    People have been asking for a way to get tokens back for a long time. They could increase the max amount of tokens too
