Match Styles would really help this game
OK, first, a shameless promotion at bottom of the post I realize but I really do think this is a great idea. A vid does better at explaining an idea than words in a post can sometimes.
So, short version, a variety of match styles with some being killer friendly or survivor friendly.
Right now, the match style is survivors do 5 out of 7 gens, this is definitely survivor friendly
You can have a killer-friendly version of that, say survivors have to do 6 out of 8 gens or 7 out of 9 gens, admittedly, the 7 out of 9 gens might be too much.
Then you add a new "deposit match style", where survivors have to collect "items" and deposit them in 1 of 7 boxes, these items can be any item that a character has, a shirt, weapon, hook item etc. The killer sees the aura of the boxes and can defend them, survivors pick up an item. Then take it to a box to deposit which takes as long as collecting an invitation in the masquerade event.
Survivors must completely fill 5 out of 7 boxes before the entity will reveal/show the exits, so then survivors can escape. Yes, there be teething issues working out how many items are needed on the map, how they spawn in and how many items are needed to deposit before the box is full. However, when it worked out, you can have a killer and survivor-friendly version of it.
So we would have 2 gen match styles and 2 deposit match styles, therefore variety instead of the same old thing every match. You could even combine gen and deposit styles into a 5th match style.
Also, we would have a version of styles catered to both sides, killer and survivor, unlike right now where survivors will win 10 out of 10 times if they work well together and are efficient on gens.
I think the meta shake-up is recognition from BHVR that DBD needs a big shake-up, I just don't think the meta shake-up has really changed anything at the base kit, which is what needed to be changed.
Also, once it is established and a foundation built for match styles, it can be added to over time. Could be Christmas match styles, Halloween, Easter, or Lunar Tiger Celebration.
variety is always best
