Idea for the Twins

This just popped into my head and I want thoughts on it.

With Nemesis' AI zombies in the game, it made me wonder if AI could be used on other killers. Then I realized that it could be used on Twins to give alternatives to the admittedly dull playstyle they have now.

So, what if Charlotte could deploy Victor to follow a blood trail? After finding the survivor, Victor would follow behind them while shrieking and constantly revealing them with killer Instinct.

Charlotte could also deploy Victor to search an area. (Let's say a radius of 32 meters.) The borders of this area would be marked on your screen while holding the ability. While patrolling the area, Victor can go on a predetermined path, revealing anyone he passes by with killer instinct and taking a health state from anyone who he runs into on his path. After the search he would immediately return to Charlotte.

Maybe the Twins could keep an element of their current power, though. For example, what if Victor started a timer of 15 seconds after which he would be destroyed when he downs a survivor? I feel like that would be a decent trade, but I'm not sure.

Again, this idea isn't really developed so feedback is welcome.

    Hmm the Twins are already pretty oppressive. This sounds like dealing with them as survivor close to impossible.

    This, exploring ideas using AI, for existing Killers really hits home on Legion. As for Twins? I play much more Twins and I think the essence of Twins is the ‘bond’ between the two. It kind of irks me to explore ideas where they work so independently from one another.

    I’d rather amplify the need for them both to be each other’s support.

    In the spirit of adding to this topic. I’d use the AI system on Victor, so that when left unattended for an extended amount of time, then he will start transversing across the map to try and return to Charlotte. This idea only making some sense if they finally give Charlotte the ability to scoop up Victor and return him naturally to herself.
