Killer Idea (The Seer)

I have an idea for a killer that if implemented well could be a deadly new addition to the devious crew. It's name would be "The Seer" and its main ability would be to see through the survivors eyes. Say you went to check out a gen that just recently exploded and nobody is there. Well if you use the ability, you would pretty much enter spectator mode and see that somebody is watching you from behind a wall. If you have a good grasp of the map as well as separate perspectives you can hunt them down pretty effectively. As a counter The Seer should have a noise that plays when it uses its ability so survivors know not to stare for too long. It's backstory could be that it was a spy or even a simpler backstory just some petty stalker who got worse and worse. If any Devs are reading this I would feel honored if you shot me a short message about weather this suggestion will be ignored or not. And if anyone else reading this could try to get this to a devs eyes, i just want them to at least take a look and thats all.

Name:The Seer
Ability:See through survivors eyes/Camera system
Design:Whatever you want but eyes all over the body would be cool!

This is my final time posting this as I now realize this is the designated home for concept discussions.

    Hmmm. Interesting concept, but it wouldn't really help the killer in a chase. Even if I know exactly where you are, what good would it do me if I don't have any way to catch you beyond a long chase sequence? If you look at every killer in the game, they have an ability that gives some advantage to capturing survivors. Even the pig can sneak up and ambush survivors so they are injured when she chases.

    @Dreamnomad as far as I'm aware the killers who abilities are directly used in chases are hillbilly, nurse, doctor, leatherface,huntress, spirit, and clown. The rest use their abilities outside of a chase. The pigs ability doesn't really seem as helpful during a chase than it is to catch unaware survivors. Plus maybe the perks could be used for chase assist. Either way not every ability is used in chase and it wouldn't hurt to have another who lacks in the chase category, especially if its great at locating survivors.

    I just recently updated my Nun idea, whose power would be using Mirrors to see areas of the map that they are not close to.

    Here is the thread: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/8246/the-conjuring-the-nun-dlc-idea-images#latest

    and the rundown:
    "She would curse the mirror by either raising her hand to make the sign of the cross and maybe chant some words. She would be able to curse 6 mirrors at a single time (+1 or +2 with addons).

    She would also carry a rosary and either a book (not bible, but a dark arts book) or a mystic ball.

    After cursing a mirror, she would be able to hold up the book and flick through the pages which would show her the view of the mirror on the page. (or mystic ball, not sure which would be better).

    So basically, she would be able to see a survivor walking by or doing a generator in the view of the mirror she has cursed. Yes, this would be like having CCTV cameras on a killer."
