Iron maiden change idea + aura problem
Iron maiden is situational but for its purpose it does its job well. I'd only change the notification bubble to an aura reading for 3/4/5 seconds
But the amount of notification bubble perks and aura perks are kinda getting a little too overwhelming to stack with eachother..
Personaly an easy change that could be made is this :
Aura perks start the trail blanked out. They light up when they're giving an aura reading to the killer
E. G : nurses calling starts blank but when a survivor is healing within the range requirements it lights up as the aura is being revealed.
Comments
the problem is that if they were in range to say nurses for example and you somehow didnt see it , you shouldnt really know someones healing around you
Because, y'know, there aren't a million other aura perks that already reveal your aura to the killer. What's one more?! 🙃
So? There are also a million 'alert bubble' perks. Who cares how many of each type of perk there are, instead of how effective the perk is? Once there are more than 4 aura-reading perks, it's a matter of choice, a non-problem.
And Iron Maiden is super-weak currently (except on Huntress, where it synergizes well with one of her base mechanics). I think it either needs aura reading instead of bubble, or for the Exposed status to last a full minute. Probably not both, but at least one. As it is now, it doesn't even really help much against BBQ-hiders except in scaring them out of using it, a smart person, knowing both BBQ and IM was in play, can still hide in a locker for a hook, then, once the killer has selected a path (probably towards a different target), then leave it and take the chance that even if the killer decided to abandon their current target and chase the bubble they can escape before the paltry 15-second Exposed timer runs out, in which case they'd be no worse off than if the killer saw them with BBQ and chased them right away.
