Why can't Killers see timers?
- Pig can't see timers of her RBTs
- Plague can't see the "timer" of the infection on survivors
- Now, Legion won't be able to see the timer of Deep Wound.
Why? All these Killers would be stronger if they could see the timers.

Using your power in a threatening way is forbidden!
I mean, just think how OP it would be if you knew someone's RBT was going to pop soon and you DARED TO THINK ABOUT CHECKING THE BOXES.
Get such OP nonsense out of your head and accept that RBT are just a temporary (and stylish) cosmetic that you gift to survivors out of the kindness of your heart.
It may be due to tunneling. If a Killer was capable to see something such as how close a Survivor may be to death with a RBT on their head as Pig, they can just crouch walk around to find them and stop them from using boxes by dashing at them or cheesing the 0 terror radius she has during crouched to have the timer go off. Plague and Legion are good examples for this as well.
Whenever I say that I want Pig to see RBT timers I always get "No because she will tunnel the Survivor whose is the closest to dying." Like no, It'll make me go after other survivors because that one is about to die from their trap.
Wow, that timing though
@Salty_Pearl Yeah, odd timing, lol. But it's my theory as to why the devs may not have Killers be able to see the timers. It's not one of those things that just won't happen if one person says it, but something that COULD happen, so it just possibly makes them think that they should just make it a priority to make sure no one can truly abuse it.
The less you know the better.. makes it more fun.
Theoretically the timers might be used similiar to whispers. If they dont go down, that survivor is in the terror radius.
If Pig sees and RBT is about to pop then obviously she will want to secure the kill and keep checking jigsaw boxes so to stop tunneling devs probably hid the timer. With Plague it kind raises the skill ceiling, you need to keep track of how much you've puked on the survivor. With Legion it might be so that Legion can't know if someone with Mend has exited his terror radius? I don't know if there is another reason.
