I greatly dislike the killer's ability. One hit knockdown killers should have drawbacks. All of them currently in the game do.
1. Hillbilly stuns if he runs into objects and his attack requires a charge time and is heavily telegraphed.
2. Cannibal stuns if he runs into objects and requires close proximity and charge time to activate.
3. Shape requires large amounts of time spent stalking survivors and has limited duration (without an ultra rare add on).But this killer's draw backs are far worse than any of those. 3 is a terrible number of hits to require as an activate cost. For all intents and purposes that is the equivalent of requiring 4 hits since a killer would be dumb to waste it's activation on an injured survivor. So essentially, you can only use the ability once every 3rd chase at most.
The idea of a killer that gets stronger as he/she injures survivors is interesting. I think there is room there from a design standpoint. I just think you are way off the mark as it how it should look. As for the perks:
**Perk 1, March of death: There marching to their death, after breaking a generator all nearby survivors gain a 1/2/3/4% percent speed decrease for 2 seconds. **
I really hate this perk. There aren't 4 ranks in a perk for one thing. The 2 second duration is beyond bad. Having a speed decrease against survivors out of a chase is worthless. There is just so much to hate about this perk.
**Perk 2, Leave the weak: They’ll learn to leave the weak behind or die, if a survivor is around an injured survivor for 3 seconds they’ll be revealed for 1/2/3/4 seconds. **
This perk is a little crazy. On the one hand, survivors almost universally use self care. So you get zero value when they do that. I also don't think a killer perk that discourages survivors from healing each other is a particularly good thing for the game. It has no range limit which is a little bonkers. The duration is so short that you could easily miss the aura too. Some things about the perk are too weak and some things are too strong. In general, I think that Nurse's Calling does the job of this perk in a healthier way for the game.
****Perk 3, Chaos incarnate: You’ll bring chaos to all who oppose you, after breaking a generator last person who worked on it will be revealed for 2 seconds. ****
For one thing, this perk doesn't describe what different ranks will do. The easy answer is to extend the duration of the aura. Something like 2/3/4 seconds. But beyond that, I'm not sure how I feel about the perk. It's useful. But I don't know if it could be considered fair to survivors. There isn't really much in the way of counterplay for survivors. Not working on generators isn't an option. I don't think it's really fair for a survivor who is paying attention and notices a killer coming in their direction, carefully walks away without leaving scratch marks and then immediately has position given away at no fault of their own. Maybe if it had some kind of range limit then it wouldn't be so bad.
