in Why do killers tryhard in a match then spare the last survivor? Comment by OmegaXII May 2, 2024

Better than people think, but still very bad. Against bad players that ignore her counter play or have no idea what they’re doing, which is a good bit of people, she’ll do good. However, we can say that about any killer. She also requires a lot more skill to do well with now than people realize. Many people that don’t play her think you just spam teleports and get free condemns, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Her skill ceiling is deceptively high.
Against actually good survivors she’s trash though. Her counter play is way, way too easy with little you can do yourself to prevent it even if you know what they’re doing. She would need significant buffs to actually be called “good”. She also has multiple very significant bugs affecting her currently that are quite significant related to her passive phasing.
“Most” the Sadako community agrees she’s quite bad and have been patiently hoping the devs finally throw her some buffs again to make her viable and more enjoyable to play after the complete gutting they did to her on her last patch which left her in a pitiful state.
Her passive phasing is nearly useless and not even worthy of being called anti loop. Her stealth is non existent since she has a “lullaby” that tells them you’re there anyway and it’s directional. Her condemn is basically never happening unless the survivors let it as you have nearly zero control over preventing their stack removal anymore. Zero punishment for holding tapes now. They get locked in stacks per hook of a max of three but is basically irrelevant because by the time you lock in any significant amount they’re dead on hook anyway making the entire feature counter intuitive. Condemn has to be done at 1 hook or less or the condemn becomes irrelevant. The vast majority of her addons are also garbage. Turning off TVs is way too easy now because not only can they hear them but they show their auras removing any skill required to turn off your power. Also seeing those TV auras removes all surprise from teleport cut offs since they see exactly where you’re going to come from before you even do it, give a global sound queue that you’re doing it AND it’s directional. Her teleport is decent but then it’s also controlled completely by the survivors and they can turn that off heavily. Killers don’t like when survivors control their power and get to dictate whether they get to use it or not.
Just so, so, so many negatives, features that don’t function how they should, and easy survivor counter play with little you can do to counter play it yourself. She was bad at literally everything but condemning and then her condemn was nerfed badly too leaving nothing to replace its current pitiful state.

Holy that’s really harsh… :(

Again, it blocks aura reading so long as it has stacks. It is absolutely not "total immunity". I played a Huntress last night who ate all my stacks immediately and I couldn't get them back because she had a perk setup where she was almost constantly triggering it regardless of where we were in relation to each other, and capitalized when they were gone. And that's wasn't a terribly uncommon experience.
A lot of killers run aura reading setups that ate redundant, or give too much time to recover stacks. If you can trigger the surv's Distortion repeatedly from distance and then again when you get close and they are out of stacks and then capitalize, it really makes distortion pretty low value. But you can't just load up on aura perks and then expect them to give you constant value. They're not supposed to be that powerful.
Against good killers, I am not getting constant value from them perk, and sometimes next to none. If you chew up a surv's Distortion stacks and they can keep close enough to keep replenishing them without you noticing they are there, that's pretty much a red flag that you probably rely on your aura perks too much and not enough on actually looking and listening.
And I play a lot of killer, and sometimes I don't get any value from my aura perks, but it doesn't ruin the match for me.
And there are many meta perks in the game that aren't crutches. But if your go-to build being countered means you can't compete, then that means those perks are have become crutches for you. It's like when old DH (which was the mother of all crutches) was nerfed and a lot of players instantly became very mid, while better players simply adapted.
DBD is set up where any build can largely be hard countered by another. And it's all down to chance, so everyone should be prepared to play with little or no perk value.

"But if your go-to build being countered means you can't compete, then that means those perks are have become crutches for you."

Are you forgetting that MMR exists? If my whole build gets countered with just a single perk, how can I compete with Survivors that has equal skill as me when I'm in such a huge disadvantage? Sure you might say 'git gud', but unless I'm far better than Survivors (Which shouldn't be when MMR exists), the match is probably already a lose for me.

It's like playing Doctor against 4x Calm Spirit. Against Survivors with equal skill there really isn't much thing you can do as half of your power gets denied. It's definitely still playable, but it'll be an incredibly hard match.

I dont find any problem with Distortion on killer side. I dont need aura perk to find survivors, and using aura perk shows aura of 1-2 survivors who dont use Distortion lead to tunneling which is strong against survivors, even if you dont want to tunnel. Even if all 4 survivor use Distortion, its one perk against their 4.
On survivor side, it punishes survivors who dont use Distortion real hard. The image OP posted showed it, they had the lowest score. Distortion doesnt need a nerf on its strength, but rather how it works. It can simply gain token in chase, or only hide aura if you have the most hook count.

"Even if all 4 survivor use Distortion, its one perk against their 4."

No it's not like that.. That's only true if Killer only runs 1 Aura perks, which is fine and fair.

But in my case I ran 3x Aura perks, with Gearhead that's designed to chew through stacks, but Distortion still protects them well. Now it's 3 perk against their 4, which is a massive lose.

By the way, I agree the one Survivor who didn't bring Distortion have to suffer from tunnelling, which I really don't like (I'm 12 hook guy). If only I can find someone else.. :(

Knowing how to find survivors is also a skill. You're drawing up the flimsiest distinctions here.
Distortion does nothing if you find them anyway, so why would 'git gud' not apply here?

Yea every Killer should just run perkless or otherwise it's called bad killer that relies on clutches, and should 'git gud'.

Why don't survivors loop better instead of relying on Distortion to hide? It's same for both sides.

Distortion is fine. As others have pointed out, it really only prevents one thing, and only so long as it has stacks. I often run it, but I don't really immerse. It's just that we are in an aura reading meta now more than ever, and I just want to mitigate it a bit.
Killers who have well thought out builds with chew up your stack really quickly, and it's not terribly unusual to lose all three stacks in the first minute any not get them back when the killer is good.
And if you're a killer that can't compete without getting constant value from your aura perks…well, that's pretty much the definition of needing crutches and it's time to look at yourself a bit. Builds are all counterplay and no one is entitled to perk value.
And learning to track survs without aid should be killer 101.
In terms of truly broken perks, I think most of those dragons have been slain, and we're left with handwringing over perks like this that are largely okay.

"It's just that we are in an aura reading meta now more than ever, and I just want to mitigate it a bit."

It's not just mitigate a bit, it's almost complete immunity even when Killer brings 3x Aura perks. So now the Killer can only play with 1 perk, which usually means the match is already a lose.

"And if you're a killer that can't compete without getting constant value from your aura perks…well, that's pretty much the definition of needing crutches and it's time to look at yourself a bit. Builds are all counterplay and no one is entitled to perk value."

This can be applied to literally any perks you bring, including Survivor Meta. Perks are designed to help you, but if getting value from any perks are counted as relying on clutches, then should I go perkless to satisfy you?

I already banned myself from Add-ons and Slowdown Perks, and now the Aura Perk. So tell me, what perks do you allow me to bring that doesn't counted as clutches? Beast of Prey?
