Why isn't there a better M1 Killer?

I feel like there should be a Killer with base 120% movement speed and a 24m Terror Radius. Their power could be something like the Begrimed Head add-on for Huntress and causes a -5% healing/repair speed penalty per hit that resets on hook.

Just seems like an easy idea for a Killer. They're basically just an M1 Killer with better base stats and a hint of slowdown. The art assets would probably take more time than any of the programming. You could have them as an original Killer and their patch could come with 2-3 maps and some reworks with the saved programming time

    So you mean, the legion with monitor and abuse? The M1 killer that gets a free hit no matter what along with some built in slowdown?

    120% is way too fast. That's Bloodlust I on a 115% killer or Bloodlust II on a 110% killer. And with that short of a terror radius, there'd be little to no warning when the killer came toward you.

    Would be boring though if their entire power was to move fast, but idk Legion also exists.

    I also thought about a vanilla killer but that is way too late in the game life time, it should have been there from the beginning, now they can’t really advertise it and not many would be interested

    I can’t imagine many people wanting to play them if they have no power. Learning the ins and outs of the killer power is a big part of the fun.

    ^^^

    120% Killer while in Wolf form, which you can do for unlimited time after the first down

    @Shocktober @Tunnel_Me_Please

    The power isn't movement speed. It's a stackable slowdown per hit.

    They just have 120% and 24m default stats.

    They could use the low effort Killer to have a Chapter where most of the Dev time went to maps, perks and reworks. It could be a major patch overall just with a vanilla Killer.

    Imagine the hype for 3 new maps at once, a bunch of meme perks becoming meta and Killers like Bubba and Clown getting well done reworks that meaningfully changed their gameplay. It could be really good.

    There is a nice concept of killer in Identity V Called Yidra. Basically it moves fast as hell but cant attack survivor maybe like (Wraith with best movement speed add ons) she can summon a minion to pursue the survivor till certain area.

    Something like that could be very interesting.

    a killer like that would be extremely boring to play with / against.

    i much prefer unique powers that really change the flow of the game and the way you need to play against the killer.
