Idea for a new killer - Mimic
So, I've been thinking about this for a while, and think a killer that can disguise him/herself to look like one of the other survivors would be a fun addition. It could work like as soon as they hook a survivor they morph/mimic that survivor and stay like that until they attack another survivor. One of their perks could be sabotage, so when they help a survivor "repair" a gen they actually hinder the progress, like someone missing skill checks.
Need to think about the other perks though lol

Sounds cool in idea but after a few matches vs it it would be useless against experienced survivors.
Kinda reminds me of the legion trailer tbh.

Ya this is a cool idea and has been tossed around for a bit. The biggest problem would be swf. "Oh he got me. K. Avoid the Dwight".
Any solo survivor watching the hook would also immediately know who the killer is. Might work 2 v 8?

it's amazing how this idea that was rumored around 2017 still has some people proposing it. Not only would be useless against SWFs, it would be unsuitable for nowadays meta.

Always imagined a mimic killer working on a roullette system, it becomes a random survivor or a chest and the power doesn't start cooldown until you break your cover.
SWF would counter it to some degree, but they'd either have to cluster up and be easy prey or sacrifice themselves for a win thanks to the random factor.
So long as you plan your approach and have an average move speed by the time they confirm it's a baddie it'd be too late. <3

Devs have already stated that their firmly against any kind of killer that could assume the likeness of survivors. That’s why John Carpenter’s The Thing has been ruled out as a possible future addition.
Mimic esque killer would make things interesting tho

I like the concept of a mimic, but it should mimic objects, not people. Like, a chest, rock, sapling, generator, hook, pallet, etc. Or a guy who has a trained mimic or mimics that you can leave as a trap.
