New Offering Idea - Gen Placement
So I had a thought about a potential idea for an offering that would basically affect gen placement. I think this would be on the same level as Ebony Moris, but I think they different levels could obviously have different effects on the match.
So, Iridescent version of the offering would basically be that the gens spawn closer together or closer to you. I like this idea, as it seems relatively similar to branches but in it's own unique way. Survivors would also have their own counter version of the offering, which would be to spread gens out more.
The idea if for survivors to counter 3-gens, although with comms and teamwork they can be relatively easy to beat, without comms it almost seems impossible, especially when playing solos. So this offering would basically be a way that survivors could counter a 3 gen, or viceversa.
Let me know what you guys think, OP or balanced? Would love to hear your thoughts.

I'd have to see them in action to really see how effective they would be. The idea to me at least sounds cool.

Any kind of gameplay-affecting offerings are an inherently bad idea since Survivors get a combined total of 4 Offering slots, while the Killer has just 1. Plus for your idea specifically, the Survivor version of the perk is way, way, way stronger than the Killer equivilent.
A 3 gen can be broken by playing safe and carefully. It's boring and really tedious, but not impossible.
Meanwhile the Killer generally cant really do anything if the gens are a fairly good distance apart and there are at least 2 Survivors left.

I agree with it being stronger for survivors than killers. But you could argue the same thing for branches could you not? Obviously when used in tangent together, they become pretty OP, making it really hard for killers if there are four branches in a game. Usually you have to either have Iron Grasp or some sort of basement build in order to win in that scenario.
But I think it would be a neat idea, especially considering you don't really see a lot of people using most of the offerings apart from BPs, with the occasional Mori or Map offering.
I obviously don't know the logistics of it, but as both a survivor and killer main, I think it would be a pretty neato idea!

I dont think Branches are good for the game either to be honest. Again, I think all gameplay affecting addons are inherently bad since Survs get 4 slots, while Killers just get 1.

I really, really REALLY hate this idea immensely if I am being totally honest.
Last thing I want is an offering deciding the match, we finally just got Ebony mori's adjusted I don't want something anywhere close to that powerful as an offering again. I don't care if it's survivor or killer, just no thank you.
I would rather play a match not meddled with.

It would be on the same level as branches honestly, making it and iridescent would only increase it's rarity. The fact that is an offering also balances it out. So I would disagree with you. I think it would add a new level of difficulty for the opposing side. I think it would also be abused for maybe a week or a month at the most, but even then I don't think it would be OP if done correctly.
It's in no way comparable to ebony moris though, as it doesn't grant you a kill. If you are a good survivor, you can win, and if you're a good killer, you can win. Hell, you don't even have to be good. At the end of the day, you can choose your map, why not choose the gen locations? Maybe the offering can't be stackable? No one would know what it would be like until it was implemented.
Hopefully in the not so far future will get mod support for the game and a casual mode that would allow for fun new addons to be implemented and tested by the community instead!

It's actually quite rare how often you see branches in public matches unless you're up against a SWF who have a perfect strat and no what they're going to do.
I think it would be a great addition personally, and as branches will never be removed/nerfed (because there is no need for it) coupled with the fact that this addon would share literally the same qualities that offering does and that many survivors don't abuse these addons anyway (even at red ranks) is proof enough to know that this addon wouldn't negatively affect either side, but give you a clearer view of the game ahead.

Will this be available to both killer and survivor?

That would be the idea!
