New Gamemode Idea?
I was thinking about if they could make a gamemode where the Killer and Survivors load in and after the countdown they get 4 random perks, as a fun nonranked game mode to just have fun.
Or kind of a nonrank mode with a pick and ban system, where both sides get all perks and the Killer gets to ban 5 Survivor perks and pick his 4 (Survivors only see 1 of his perks) and the Surivors ban 4 Killer perks and do a kind of draft mode among the 4 Survivors, but they can't pick the same perks another Survivor picked (Killer sees only 6 perks the Survivors picked but not who picked what) as a neat way to change the game up?

I think it'd be a better idea to just give both sides a random perk option instead of an entirely different game mode. I feel similarly about the pick and ban thing. People probably wouldn't care about perks if it was unranked, and if it was introduced in the ranked mode the only thing that would be banned are the meta perks. Concept is cool though.

Banning meta perks is the whole point. Do you have any idea how ranked play works?

I always liked the idea of the killer banning 4 maps and the survivors banning 1 map each. Forcing people to play on maps they hate just encourages dcing and makes the game more dull.

At that point why not just get rid of those perks altogether if they're just going to be banned anyways? I know how ranked play works, thats how I know meta perks would be banned.

It wouldn't get rid of those perks, it'd give the killer the option to ban the perks of their choice in a specific game mode. Not every killer will pick the same 5 perks, it'll be a matter of tactical decision making and predicting how they will play based on the perks you allow them to use. That's how ranked play works.

Mori mode, more BP but instant kill !🤔

But why even bother with the perks in the first place if they'll be banned half the time? What about perk builds? How will this effect queue times? How many more DCs will this cause? Theres so much stuff that could be negatively impacted.

I wasn't supporting the game mode actually being implemented, but I think it's a cool concept and here's why. The perks should still be bothered with because they act as ban shields for the next tier of perks, creating a whole new meta from their death. Plus, the devs will be motivated to balance perks more by finding out which perks are the most problematic and often banned by killers. Perk builds are for casual mode, ranked mode is about improvising with the perks you're provided and making it work. Idk how this will cause DCs, but yeah queue times would be screwed which is why this could never actually be implemented. But it could work, and I like thinking about it.

Its a nice thought to be sure, but it has problems that are worth being brought up. Literally everything is a perk build, if you run 4 perks when you play you run a perk build, banning some will ruin certain perk builds. It will cause more DCs because you and I both know a survivor will leave if DS is banned and a killer will leave when Pop is banned. Ranked mode isn't about improvising what perks your given, thats how it works if these changes are implemented, which we both agree shouldn't happen.

I don't get your anecdotes about people leaving...they come in knowing that the best perks are probably going to be banned and when they do they get surprised and immediately dc? Besides, both sides are losing strong perks so why would either one be angry about losing a perk?

I've seen people say they'll DC when they see: Oni, Spirit, Freddy, Pyramid Head, Bubba, Death Slinger, and Hag. Thats a third of the killers here. I could see a survivor quitting because DS, Unbreakable, Dead Hard, Sprint Burst, And Adrenaline were banned. And I could see a killer leaving because Pop, Corrupt, BBQ, and Nurses were banned. People will get angry about anything huge like this, I still see posts whining about crossplay. "Well I need this perk more than they need theirs so this is hurting me more!", I could imagine the posts now.

I guess you're right. The community probably would find some way to complain about a perfectly even system.
