Is it intended for there to be no indicator when a survivor is affected by Leverage?

With a lot of time in the game, I actually don't know that I've ever played against (or at least noticed) a Killer use Leverage until now. There was no icon or debuff to indicate I'd been affected by it so I was genuinely confused as to why healing was taking so long. D:

    Were you the one healing or were you the one being healed?

    There normally is an icon for it on the healer's screen since it's their penalty.

    Actually, Leverage also applies on self-heals for the unhooked survivor. The game text doesn't explain it well. This was also the case before its rework.

    But I don't know if a self-healing survivors gets the icon information.

    If it's affecting the unhooked survivor self-healing then that sounds like a bug, it should only be penalizing the unhooker - though if the unhooker is self-healing then yes it would apply, it's not limited to healing others like We'll Make It is.

    It's not a bug, its intended (the wiki gives an explanation)

    I remember this, that's just in regards to it affecting self-healing actions in general. There was a mistake in the patch notes for the original version of the perk claiming that it no longer worked on self healing, which was false.

    Anyways, I just double-checked this and while Leverage does affect self healing, it only affects the unhooker and any healing action performed by the unhooker will have reduced speed (altruistic heal or self heal), but it does not penalize the unhooked survivor in any way.

    The first heal here was when I was unhooked and then healed myself, Leverage did nothing here, this was a standard 24 seconds medkit heal (I also made sure not to hit any great skill checks to make it faster).

    The second heal was after I unhooked another survivor and then healed myself, Leverage does work in this scenario.

    Ah okay, then I remembered it wrong. But then it cannot be Leverage.

    @moonlessSky do you have any footage of the match or can you remember your build?
