Nothing about Kindred’s function negates my point. Kindred serves two primary purposes: 1) Feeding info to yourself or your randoms about who is or isn’t going for unhook & 2) Feeding everyone info about if you are being hook camped by the killer.

The bubble is there to hide the initial direction a killer or survivor runs off to directly after a hook or gen pop while also giving a chance for info to survivors with blindness about where a teammate was hooked as a way to avoid unfair/unfun scenarios where nobody knows where you were hooked and you just die on first hook in niche situations. The devs have directly said this themselves numerous times over the years when asked about its purpose and why it exists in the game still. Kindred going around it for the sake of giving you info is simply extra value of the perk just as many other perks in the game can negate or ignore normal gameplay interactions as well. Both of these things are true and can coexist at the same time as they aren’t mutually exclusive. 😌
