Mirrored Illusion's illusions should be less distinguishable.

Discussion

As it stands, the perk Mirrored Illusion is one of the most unpopular perks in the game. This perk is interesting as it is very unique and fills an exceptionally niche use case whilst being different and fun if you pull off a play with it. The perk is unpopular due to the illusions being all but useless as they're easily distinguishable from a regular survivor.

There're many ways to fix this but broadly I think that the shaky/misty effect from the illusion should be removed. Perhaps the illusions should only be distinguishable because they do not have an animation or they perform the animation on their objective (totem/gen/chest) much slower than a regular survivor.

If the illusion did nothing and looked like a regular survivor there could be an issue where the illusion looks out of place and like a bugged feature, as such I can see why BHVR wouldn't want to implement a stationary indistinguishable illusion but regardless I think this really interesting and unique perk should have a bit of spotlight and be buffed.

I don't think this kind of perk will ever be meta as it's too weird and is more of a "tricky" category of perk and relies on the killer seeing the illusion and making a mistake. As such, I don't think buffing this perk would cause any real issues to the regular gameplay loop for the players.
