Why isn't a killer that can disguise itself coming out?
Personally I don't care if one comes out, but my question is why?
The devs always say they're not doing something like that, but I've never understood why because there's never is a definitive answer. It's not a licensing issue because you don't need a license attached to it, it's not an issue of being overpowered because truth be told it really couldn't be, and it's not an issue of not enough people would buy it because you absolutely bet they would.
So why is one not coming out?
Edit: I've received comments confused on whether I meant props or survivors, I mean either/both, just a killer that can disguise itself as things or players within the trial to ambush them. Sorry for not being explicitly clear on what I meant by "disguise itself"

Because the game is not designed for that. Sure it might work against solos, but can you imagine a SWF? You would have no power against them. Even a duo would mess you up badly.

Disguise itself as in? As a survivor?

"Hey any of you 3 the nancy beside me on the gen?"
"No why?"

I think cause it would be very difficult cause they created this game using unreal blueprints which was a very cheap way to make c-list games but they weren’t expecting this game to be a huge hit so they stack code on top of each update and that’s why it’s so buggy cause of all the codes and I think it would be difficult to code something like that.

Would be too weak against SWF.

I kinda want a killer that can either possess a generator and ambush survivors that work on it, or one that can mimic a generator.
It would be meme-y but also sounds hilarious.

I almost made the swf comment, but then I realized he maybe meant as props and not Survivors, which would work a lot better vs swf.
The biggest problem is, if a killer disguises themselves as a prop, that kind of necessitates sitting in one spot, waiting to ambush a survivor.... And that is essentially an auto lose for any killer. Killer time crunch is a sword hanging over their head, trapper already has issues stemming from this and he just needs to set up. Imagine if he had to also stand there and wait to remotely trigger the trap when survivor was walking over it. He'd become impossible to play.

The only was a “disguising” killer would work is if the killer got a mini power similar to a survivor perk to help in chase.
Meg = Sprintburst/David = Dead hard/Feng = Lithe. And so on. But that would take a really long time and would drain the design team.
Id just want a separate game mode with an imposter type killer with no teams tbh

I had a thought that a killer who could spawn a fake gen in the map that just disappears a few secs after u start working on it but gives killer a notification could be fun.

Come to think of it, a killer which could mimic the survivors' perks being in play would be neat, like his whole power depends on how good the perks survivors brought are.

Considering the meta, that would be amazing

For the same reason Stealth killers are ass. Good survivors won't fall for it.
