Is Locker Blindness bugged or intentional mechanic?

You "gain" Blindness when you enter a locker, but your aura does not start going away for the Killer until you've fully entered it, while all of your auras do go away when you start enter animation.

If this is intended, how about we normalize how it works?

    • I think it's an intentional mechanic... as a survivor, you can really anticipate your "entry into the locker", for example if you suspect the killer has BBQ

    But what does this have to do with 'anticipating' the entry into the locker?
    In my opinion it's a bug or let's say an inconsistency the devs haven't bothered fixing as there are higher priorities

    i know the blindness was ALWAYS a thing, idk why, its just a wierd punishment for using lockers.

    i know the aura reveal supression is another wierd thing, but this seems to work as intented, atleast for me.

    this is why you have to pre-enter lockers so the aura is fully supressed and not mid-activation.

    I've always rationalised this in my head because you go into a locker face first - so you get the blindness instantly as you're facing the inside of the locker, but the killer can still see your aura cos your whole body is not yet inside the locker. It's an interesting conundrum though.
