"Passive Effects"

To begin with, why do we pick different killers to play as?Stupid question, tbh but ok, it is for their powers, for sure.So what I thought of is giving every specific survivor a, what ill call it, "Passive". Passive is basically a slight buff in game that can help you in specific mechanics of a common gameplay. Just a few quick examples i've came with just to clarify what I mean:

Claudette - Has a passive 5% action speed reduction applied to all altruistic actions 

David - Has a passive 10-15% bloodpoints in every category / worse Resilience (3-4% action speed while injured )

Nea - Give her back a piece of old Balance Landing (not whole 75% stagger reduction but something like 20-25%)

and so on.

The only reason why i'm saying it it's cause now there in no other motivation to play certain characters than "I like her/his skin" or "oh, insert any name here daily again". Teachables, yeah, but i'ts only to the point you reach lvl45, which can be done even without playing a char.

It's not really the thing the game needs or would make it better, more like I just felt like sharing this idea.

wdyt?

    I think that would be neat.

    The devs stated in the last Q&A they want survivors just to be skins (as of now), but they have heard ideas/concepts like this many times.

    so don’t expect anything in this year like this..


    also they don’t want to make some survivors „Meta“, and having something like this will make some chars better than others for sure

    Survivors would only play the one with the best passive.

    And it would be bad for Players who spent a lot of money on cosmetics for a certain survivor they main if they get a useless passive or a passive which isn't fitting their playstyle.

    yea, the fact that some chars will become meta and some will be just not worth it is what I haven't thought of.

    i would like it if they made more items that are usable and are something like the equivalent of the killers power for the survivors. And make maps and broken keys more viable.

    maybe even make the items that suit the char more probable in the respective bloodwebs (more medkits for Claudette and Quentin, more toolboxes for Jake and Yui)
