Survivors should be able to fight back

Bear with me, I know the legions of killer mains that camp out on here and lobby the devs night and day that the game is not fair and should skew more towards the killer because a last survivor got the exit or the hatch. Seriously would make the game a little more fun. Get rid of the garbage nearly useless flashlights and implement things like bats, clubs. A well timed swing that can momentarily stun the killers. Characters like ash or Laurie don’t just cower away, they fight. Sorry game skews far to much killer and survivors are treated as killer fodder.

    Uhh isn’t that the point?

    You can fight back with 4x second chance perks and the slew of pallets present on almost every map.

    “Last year: the nightmare” had this and it is a totally dead game.

    Half the adrenaline rush of survivor is knowing you have nothing but trying to hide and lose the killer in a chase

    That sounds awful, most of the cast of killers already have to fight tooth and nail for everything agaisnt a squad that has even half an idea of what they're doing. Every down, every hook, can be taken away even without the killer making any mistakes.

    I can imagine four survivors beating some poor Wraith to death, stun-locking him so he can't uncloak.

    I want environmental kills! Hooking is suuuuper boring, the EGC death animation is way better. Not even all the mori animations are that interesting, the EGC death beats a bunch of them.

    Interesting idea, however can't support the games foundation. Both gameplay and lore wise (ofc survivors do fight back with DS. Though that's just the entity giving the survivor a boon for that moment) It's the reason why someone like pig or legion can beat the ######### out of David or Jeff and carry them. I'm sure they've tried fighting back already and well, there's a reason why they don't anymore. I do wish there are more ways to interact with the killer, survivors, and environment. But attacking the killer? Not a good idea.

    Yea I'm sorry, no.

    Wrong game for this to be a thing, honestly the game mechanic ideas are fine, it's just how some are executed, is the problem. DS is a "fight back" perk and people don't like it, how do you think people will take bats, clubs? They'll scream and complain. And we, and them, don't want that.
