Would it be possible for survivors to get their own type of power? Or make each survivor unique

Examples: Meg- can keep running and get exhaustion to go down
Laurie- Increases your chances to become the obssesion and not leave blood puddles (make it so only the obssesion can use DS,no nerf needed, I like DS and mostly on Laurie because it is really unique to her from the movie)
Dwight- See the aura of survivors for 10 seconds every time a gen is done and once the exit gates are open, you see the survivors aura at all times, red aura if hurt
etc
But once the survivor is chosen by another player in the lobby it can’t be chosen by anyone else, only one survivor of each.

    If this go live, you will only see Claudette, because she can heal herself.

    I like variety.

    Don't change anything.

    Healing is the most powerful power for survivor.

    It really is game changer.

    If you did this you would only see a few characters being played from the rest because people will play for the advantage and not the characters

    My only problem with this is that you will create a meta where specific Survivors are considered good and people will feel pigeon holed into playing them.

    I really wish Dead By Daylight would listen to this but it will probably not happen. Passive abilities would be awesome.

    Even more reason to nerf the hell out of that nonsense. I don't understand why the devs haven't yet fixed this ridiculously overpowered perk.

    I had a similar idea.

    The rooster is getting bigger every chapter.
    Each character could boost every other survivor while they're alive.

    For example if ;
    Meg is alive, survivor could have shorter exhaustion time.
    Ace could boost item quality from chest or add-on.
    Claudette could boost healing speed of other survivor.

    Etc.

    If the same character's there twice, that bonus doesn't stack. So people should play different unique survivor.

    These idea aren't really extraordinary but it's definitely a shame that killer feel different to play ( with different add-on too ) while survivor are all the same.

    Im all for making survivors unique.
    But obviously its not a solution to give unique advantages to each survivor, each survivor has to have disadvantages that balance out the advantages

    If only obsession uses d strike that's an overhaul and might as well not be a perk, and this creates tiers, gonna see more megs and claudettes. Id v has these on game and certain characters are unusable in high rank. A good trait is balanced with a bad trait.

    Creates a meta, in high rank the best survivor traits will used.
