Killers Who Need Fun Power Fixes

I think changing powers slightly is better than changing the values. Think alot of changing of values has just survivors and killers pushing and pulling for there numbers. I think what the team said about making killers fun should stand true most of all. I think there is four killers that still need improvements in being a fun killer.

Freddy

Problem

Doesn't feel like freddy, lacks ability to mess with survivors in dream realm.

Solution

Let him control what happens in dream realm. Make nightmares in dream realm that messes with survivors.

Nurse

Problem

Hits and stuns into objects at low ranks and at high ranks can rip people off gens easy.

Solution

Give her a traveling ground blink light that tells where she will teleport too. Also give survivors dark cloud of smoke they can see move on ground. That way they also know where she is gonna teleport too.

Trapper

Problem

Still needs something to make fun but he is more fun than he was.

Solution

Let him sacrifice a trap to put one on a gen, hatch, switch, and box. Thay way survivors have to check for sabotage.

Wraith

Problem

He is kinda plain jane with his power. Also at high ranks everyone sees his outline and avoids him quite easy.

Solution

Heavy red fog zones drift through map and will remove ability to hear terror radius while in them. The wraith also will lose terror radius if in fog zones also. But wraith is hard to make fun so probally a better solution.

If you have a fun power idea for a killer. Please share it and if you think another killer ain't fun let me know.

    Give another chainsaw for Hillbilly, it takes 50% or 100% more time to charge up, but then u go into the crazy sprint while holding them like a " X ", when he stops running, if one of the chainsaws hits someone, the survivors hit gets downed, this is a WIDE/CONE area atack in front of him (obviously it would be the same range as the normal chainsaw, but survivors wouldnt be able to dodge it), if he mannages to land both chainsaws at a single survivor, he performs a special animation that kills the survivor INSTANTLY. Pallets would still stop his crazy sprint just as normal.

    Give another chainsaw for Leatherface, it takes the same amount of time to charge them, when fully charged u can release the power button to become a Tornado Leatherface fully controlled by you, u move at a increased movement speed and acelleration for some seconds, insta downing anyone in any direction close to u and also EATING pallets without stopping, u also dont get stunned if u hit the walls, the duration of this crazy spin is longer than the normal chainsaw on the live build, but in the end u get dazzled and cant move for a bit, this power also has a small cooldown before being available again, similar to The Spirit.

    Give the ability to the Huntress to be able throw her Axe instead of little hatchets, u have 1 shot and lockers wouldnt recharge it, instead, your axe would return to your hand after being thrown, just like a boomerang it would hit anyone in its path until it reachs his max range, if it hits a wall it would come back sooned, any survivors hit by the axe would be insta downed (doesnt matter if it was going foward or coming back to your hand), the axe cant be dodged by crouching and hitting a pallet would break it and make the axe come back, u cant atack while your axe is out of your hand.

    Also, an ultra rare addon would let u bring 2 Axes to the match and throw both at same time, if a a survivor gets hit by both, the survivor would DIE INSTANTLY.

    That Nurse change would really make her trash, honestly.

    Really cause thats my favourite power change. Stops high ranks from instant grabbing from gens cause can survivor can see the black smoke. Also helps low ranks know what can go through and makes her more accessible to new players. To new players she is most fustrating killers to try and some never even touch her again. But if you think would be trash power change at least being honest.

    I really thought chainsaw boys were fun maybe leatherface has small annoyances. But really sounds like you want to play adam from dead rising with all these double chainsaw attacks.

    I kinda would like to see this fun concept toned down. I wouldn't mind an instant down main boomerang axe throw. But i think she should switch to her big axe throw when she charges windup enough to be able to throw big axe.
    But i really like where mind was going with this one very cool.

    Really thought first power hate would be the wraith power suggestion. Cause its boring and not even original being in identity v. Still the funnest of the 5 power changes thought of... but still lacks ingredients for spicy fun. Im really hoping someone has better creative fix for the guy.

    I think Freddy should be able to mess with people in dream realm. For example:
    Masquerade: When a survivor is put to sleep, they see multiple other survivors but cannot easily determine which are real. They may see a survivor crossing the distance, but upon losing line of site or reaching them, the survivor disappears. They may also see a fake Freddy crossing the distance or chasing another survivor.

    See that is beautiful example. I would much rather enjoy his gameplay this way. That way feel like your actually freddy. I like your messing with survivors idea. This is direction i hope they bring his powers. Anything that feels like they watched the movies is perfect for me.
    When someone suggests a good freddy messing with people idea its like "Hey you actually watched the movies eh"
    To me freddy was a rush job coming so soon after leatherface. I feel like the team had no time to research him well. Think they focused on too much of dream realm and not enough on freddy personality showing in his power.

    MisterCremaster > Your idea is awesome, that should be at least an addon.
    FayeZahara > You're right with Wraith he can be easily avoided, he's not really invisible, I don't know why sometimes I feel like he's step is a bit too loud when he's approching a survivor. Maybe just my imagination?

    Probally not imagination probally a small thing they might of did for balance. I ussuallyhave endless ideas in my brain running all the time. I wish there was some way to make wraith fun again. But even with 5 ideas have for wraith kinda hate them all cause not fun. I feel bad for the team cause he is a hard one to crack. I just am really sad the changes to addon numbers is all the team can think of and including an addon in kit. There must be someone brilliant that can think of something creative. All i can think of is make spirit the invisible killer now and make wraith something else. (Not a good idea but still only one i got that feels like it works)

    Any sort of changes that happen to nurse (depending on what would happen to her) in this case would make her trash... samething with Billy... you need to play more or play as them so you can see from those killers perspective... I can agree with freddy and wraith.... nurse and in the comments Billy is are fine... nurse is the only killer that has a skill cap that actually encourages a player to continue to get better because the more 6ou play the better you get..... it's the same way on the survivors side why cant the killers have something of that sort... every killer asides nurse is super limited and frustrating to play.... and whenever a decent killer comes out because survivors dont understand the weakness they cry for a nerf... practice and get better and you'll see results
