New Killer Idea - The Shade
The Shade: A Killer who merges with the shadows and becomes more powerful when in touch with them. I dont know if this idea is technically possible, but I'm just throwing an idea around ^^
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Shade has a decreased movement speed, a passive and two active abilities.
---
Passive: Whenever The Shade touches a shadow he instantly gains additional movement speed (maybe normal speed?) and becomes undetectable and invisible (or just less visible) after 2 (?) seconds as long as he stays inside the shadows.
---
Active 1: Only available while out of chase. While being invisible (or less visible) The Shade can submerge into the shadows and quickly reappear in any other shadow that is in range (range arguable), making a sound for close survivors to hear. This ability has no cooldown and can be instantly casted again (so it can be quickly chained together), but immobilizes him for 2 (?) seconds while reappearing. (Immobilize = no movement and basic attack. He can still cast his 2 abilities)
(Maybe it can also be available while in chase, but gets a cooldown while in chase, idk)
---
Active 2: Cooldown 5 (?) seconds. Places a trap in his range (like Freddy, but larger range). Trap is invisible (or just less visible) in shadows. Only one (?) trap can be active at a time (maybe adjustable with addons). If a survivor steps onto the trap, shadow hands will appear from the ground and hold the survivor in place until the survivor frees himself (like a trapper trap).

As I said, I really dont know if this shadow technique is even possible. But this is just an idea. This would be a Killer that might have good map control, but needs good instincts and experience in 1v1 with his traps, because he is naturally slow if he is not in the shadows.
