In this DBD video we’re taking a look at the cowardly perk of Distortion to ask the question whether or not survivors should be banned for using it? Personally I think they should be HWID banned but that might not be taking it far enough. Let me know what you think in the comments unless you’re too busy picking up and dropping your keyboard to avoid crows spawning on you?! YOU FILTHY SOLE SURVIVOR PLAYING ONLY FOR YOURSELF GUTTER TIER PLAYER!!!

  1. Content creators are fomenting a reality that survivors should have no counter play perks. You are looking at it the wrong way. BHVR is removing skill development for killers in a terrible way. A ton of these perks were created and buffed over the past two years to create permanent aura and tracking ability and THAT is the real problem. Just please stop these shallow clickbait debates.

  2. I bring distortion and the killer has no aura perks. I take it off and they have four aura perks, two aura addons, and wall hacks just in case

    I run deliverance I get hooked first. I take it off I get hooked fourth.

    Perfect balance.

  3. Distortion is just fine the way it is. Maybe killers should stop crutching on aura reads as the main way to find survivors. Boo fucking hoo someone is able to hide from you, get better at tracking maybe. This besides the fact you have a complete counter to Distortion in the form of Whispers. And if you think Whispers isn't good enough then you just fucking suck at killer, IDK what else to tell you.

  4. I hate distortion players in my lobby even as a solo queuer because they overwhelmingly fall into the stereotype of "teammates" who don't do anything all game but hide while you get tunneled and have to juggle repairs, rescues and running the killers all by your self. 💩 On killer it's annoying too.

  5. Obviously it shouldnt get nerfed. With how many aura reading perks there are, to have one perk counter them isnt a problem with the perk itself, but the games design as a whole. Especially when you remember back in the day when it was just BBQ and Chili. There was counterplay with hiding in a locker. There is no counterplay to all the new aura reading now, hence why Distortion is so important and popular.

    Im a killer player and this is my perspective. In short fix the game, and stop fixing issues with perks. Band aid fixes is how we got here to begin with.

  6. Distortion is fine, I have no issue with it other than I think if you are using it just to outright hide the entire match you are not really using it to its full potential. Plus you rob yourself of chances to improve at the game by constantly avoiding chases

  7. WOW BRO IM SO HAPPY YOU BEAT CANCER!!! I was thinking about you a lot and only wished the best for you and your family!. But on topic with the video I think the distortion change from reddit is 100% a perfect change! god bless friend.

  8. blocks killers aura reading for 10 seconds
    User must be in in killers radius for 30 seconds

    This is somewhat fair as Survs have to go out of their way and put themselves in danger to benefit from Distortion. (It's risk vs reward)

  9. I love Spies from the Shadows and I wish that a lot of (though not all) Aura Reading perks had a big overhaul to make them more like that, less direct "you can see them fully" and more "this is generally where they are," I think it'd make Distortion a little less relevant and open it up to a rework.

  10. I don’t run distortion but it’s good for some playstyles. Do I like their playstyle? No! But they have the right to play how they want. I think having an anti aura perk is good but I like the idea of changing how it regains tokens to be gens as everyone knows in solo queue gens are ignored lol.

  11. Im sorry i cant stand this stereotyping of distortion. TLDR: If people are gonna make so im tunneled with no chance to play due to perks like lethal, nowhere to hide and the like, then im going to use countermeasures to prevent that, same for calm spirit for UW!

    I hate big content creators saying that distortion is cowardly. Can it be used like that, oh 100%. But it boils down to meta. If killers keep using the same perks over and over then as said, ppl WILL resort to perks that counter them, or oppressive playstyles.

    Ive been away for 4 months, but im the sort of person who plays a good medium of all styles, altruism where i need to, gens generally, hide a bit if i need to, and even take chases even if i aint that good at em. I use distortion explicitly so i DONT get tunneled out in 2 or 3 minutes with no chance to play, likewise for calm spirit which i used when 4 man slug at 5 gen onis and nurses were common place and i got sick of it.

    You have every right to choose what you play with, but do NOT be surprised when ppl start actively counter-picking against the meta perks. But please do not start slating ppl who use distortion as all being inherently cowardly, or it being that a perk!

  12. Most people that hide in the game are newer players who aren't confident yet… I wouldn't call them cowards. The fun part is the chases not holding m1 and ctrl.

  13. No it does not need a nerf.

    We have killers using nowhere to hide or some other aura perks with lethal for free wins on tall loops. And 90% of the listed add on's and perks do not get used. Is it annoying if you run aura builds? Yeah but its also annoying when you don't run it and some killer gets free mind games for 10 seconds. Also add to the fact it can legit do nothing in a round if you are vs stealth or they dont bring aura perks makes it a swing and a miss at times(good for info i will admit, but if you are solo queue that wont help).

    Pretty much the only reason it should be nerfed is because of SWF but if the players are smart/good they will already know that the killer is using aura reading based on how the killer plays.

  14. I will say it could use a small tweak, maybe just 2 stacks with a stack recharging every 45 seconds in the terror radius. As a distortion user I rarely get down to 0 stacks unless there is a scratched mirror myers in play
