Make Darkness Revealed Inactive at last survivor standing

Just a quality-of-life change that seems super necessary. With a combo like iron maiden and darkness revealed, the last person trying to go for the hatch has no chance to hide and try to find the hatch for themselves. Unlike barbecue and chili, where you can anticipate the aura read and choose between hiding in a locker or getting close to the hooked survivor, there is no real counter action to this perk once you're in the game. I'm not going to waste a perk slot for distortion if all I need it for is to hide from a killer who can secretly read my aura at any moment as the last person standing. This is especially frustrating when you have a survivor throwing pallets to deliberately alert the killer, rush to get sacrificed and throw the game. With Darkness Revealed, literally everyone dies due to one survivor.

  • This is not what quality of life is. Quality of life is showing challenge progress or letting you browse menus as you queue. This is a nerf.

  • That isn't a quality of life change. That is a nerf to a mediocre killer perk. Which would lead to even less perk variety which is an issue this game has always had and will continue to have if changes like this happen.

    "Distortion" isn't a waste of a perk slot... it's actually extremely effective at countering killers who use an aura perk which are very popular right now. Even if it doesn't get used, you still get the value from the perk knowing that the killer doesn't have aura perks. Also sometimes you bring perks in this game and they don't see any use, that is just the risk you have to consider when creating a loadout.

    I'm sorry but suggested changes like this are really frustrating.

    you serious? That is a flat nerf what you are asking for.

    You don't like something? Try to deal with it by yourself and choose fitting perks.

  • If killer utilize 2 perks just to kill one last person, they deserve it lul

  • Darkness Revealed is fine, this nerf isn't necessary at all.

  • I assure you with 1000000% confidence, No killer will run these two to deny someone the hatch,,, you are not owed the hatch as the last person just as the killer is not owed the 4 k

  • How dare you call distortion a waste of a slot

    It gives you a good chunk of info

    I mean to be fair that isnt why I run it, but I do sometimes run that combo on trickster/huntress/dredge, and it is nice when it works out.

    You do realize that there is another counter to that combo right?

    In case you don't, all you have to do is not be within 8m of a locker, if you do that neither perk affects you.

    they just want to hide in a locker probably while the other survivor is fighting for their life / avoid bbq on last hook or smth

    Probably, but just in case I thought I'd point out the obvious that is being missed, lol.

    and honestly the only time i've seen anyone run iron maiden except huntress/ depipster it's adept legion or some madman artist player trying to punish people fast vault lockers to get rid of lockers which while niche sometimes yields results
