Stagger effect on survivors

The only thing that causes stagger right now is falling from a great height. There should be some killer perks that cause a stagger effect on survivors. Maybe like a reversed Balanced Landing.

"After dropping from an elevated position, survivors within a 16m radius will be staggered."

Anyone else have an opinion on the stagger effect?

    Yeah, and that opinion is don’t change it... they’re just going to stagger wherever they are because you drop? Doesn’t even make sense.

    Kind of was thinking when the killer falls to the ground it creates like a quake effect, shaking the area and causing the survivor to stumble a bit

    Interesting idea. Make for a cool killer power, like he’s got a massive axe or hammer that he smashes the ground and you get that area quake effect that staggers everyone within like 10 meters or something. Then one of his perks could be like you said, when he drops it creates a stagger effect.

    I preferer that, as a killer power.

    Yeah this seems strong enough to be a killer power. If it were a perk, it could be combined with other killer powers for a pretty OP effect.

    Imagine hurling a bottle as the Clown just as you 'drop down' next to a survivor or something. They wouldn't stand a chance.

    But on it's own, as a killer power, it could work.

    New Killer: Bowser

    Their power lets them breathe fire and summon Thwomps wherever they please. Fire deals lingering damage and can down. Thwomps insta-mori Survivors.......... and stagger nearby Survivors.

    Random idea I got. Don't take it too seriously.
