BBQ and Chili indirect nerf

I'll go right to the point.
As you all know lockers will now deny the killer's reading aura abilities.
The only perk that will be affected and suffer from this change is BBQ and Chili. This is because all other aura reading perks require the survivor to do something. Take Nurse calling for example or even Territorial Imperative. Both of those perks require that a survivor does some kind of action, which the survivor cant do if he's inside a locker. Therefore the only perk that'll be affected by this new mechanic will be BBQ. This is thanks to the new pick up animation which will give survivors enough time to hide inside a locker.
This nerf will not just affect killers, it will hurt survivors as well.
I personally dont run this perk as killer, but I know some killers depend on it and allways run it.
Some killers will even be in the need of camping because they wont have a clue on where to look to catch other survivors.
I personally think that this change is pretty bad and is nerfing a perk that didnt need to be touched because it allready has many other counters to it.
I just made this post to see if Im the only one who thinks this is a bad change and should be removed from the game. If there is more people who think this is an unnecessary change and should be removed from the game this is the time to let the devs know before everyone just forgets about It and BBQ ends up collecting dust.

I will still run BBQ for double BP.
Who cares about some survivor tears because of a lil camping. Not my fault if they wanna get the incentive against camping nerfed. Thats their fault, now they can deal with it
Good, Its boring playing against the same perk every single game.
I am already looking forward to the mass of complains about camping.^^
cough cough DS cough cough * self-care *cough cough SB cough cough Someone get me some water already!
It was added in because the devs want Survivor mains to have an easy game with no problems at all. Look at what they did for farming and camping. Unhook i-frames and Breakdown both solve those problems, but they punish the Killer instead of punishing the farmer/giving the Killer an incentive to not camp (they even had kobe i-frames, basically encouraging Survivors to kobe in the Killer's face for the memes). BBQ also had multiple ways to counter it and it was an incentive for Killers to not camp, but the devs gave in to all the whining and nerfed the perk by buffing lockers and adding Distortion. I honestly hope that the locker buff, Breakdown, and Distortion backfire so bad that patch 2.5.0 contains major nerfs for those things.
the locker buff should really be reverted it was not needed and has bad features for both sides
I argee with you mate. I don't use those perks because i hate walking, don't like DS and i bring a medkit lol.
I want the meta to change on both sides to keep the game fresh overall. Every game its mostly the same perks. Snoozefest.
But why is it only killer perks that get that treatment?
SC, SB, DS.... and BT just got a new buff instead.
It's an unnecessary nerf imho. BBQ is an incentive for the killer to not camp the hooked survivor. If everyone hides their aura so the killer doesn't see anyone, it makes sense for the killer to stay close to the hook.
When I'll play survivor, I'll not hide my aura in most cases. If the killer comes to me, someone else can go save the hooked guy.
.
It was about time to nerf this wall-hack perk.
DID YOU KNOW it also affects survivors reading ability against that survivor?
If aura reading is so powerful, how come Survivors don't use their own aura reading perks?
Sandbagging has been nerfed nooooooo (i don't support this but it's funny to see this from time to time)
What if the killer runs BBQ and Chilli.
And the killer see no survivor = many survivors are near
Wrong informations for killers.
Double BP man. Works for me. Plus it can still catch the odd man out.
Did you ever play the game before BBQ was added? You had to rely on your wits and that 6th sense.
But with the introduction of BBQ & Chili, it seems have to have stunted many killers. They rely on the aura to much to "not camp" and to find survivors. Served all on a silver platter.
I highly recommend playing killer without Addons or Perks, it is an experience you will appreciate.
And that's why we need the LoL button back. ;P
BBQ&Chilli [BAD WORD] Stealth playstyle, and the Devs notice that (after months ¬¬) this is the solution to the problem, now lockers are more useful for stealth players, and most of the survivors don't [BAD WORD] care about being tracked by BBQ&Chilli, BBQ&Chilli is such a lazy desing perk, Whisper in the other hand is a well balanced perk, i really belief that game mechanics should counter game mechanics and perks should counter perks but in this case i will make a exception XD
You forgot bitter murmur
Nah, Bitter Murmur won't really be affected by the locker-aura-change. Survivors can't finish a gen and hide in the locker at the same time.
SWF. Once 1 is dead he can see your perks. 1 on the gen 2 in a locker
If the survs would play it that way, I would have nothing against it. I see a surv's aura, I go after them. (Can't take care of 2 survs at the same time anyway.)
And as a bonus, the other 2 guys are in a locker wasting their time doing nothing.
No?
Spirit buff, exhaustion nerf, pallets nerf, trapper buff, hag buffs and next freddy rework..
