i’m just saying….
the Killer impersonating a Survivor hack is terrifying & should inspire the next killer to be a shape shifter.
for anyone curious as to what I’m talking about, here’s a video I watched on YT last night above.

Haha it's more scary than anything the Devs have come up with in the last few years.

I'm pretty sure this is what legion was originally intended to be. Going by their chapter title and release trailer. It's a cool concept, but unfortunately completely invalidated by swf with comms, and even the new hud that shows what your teammates are doing.

I mean, theoretically, that'd be a John Carpenter's "The Thing" kinda power. But, as Pillarman mention, that's what Legion was originally going for and they didn't do it then. With SWF and status icons, any kind of mind games are out the window.
If DbD folks wanted their game to be spooky, they'd be making a lot of different choices than the 'tournament-first' focus they've been laser-focused on.

I had no idea that is what Legion was intended to be. They are so bland now as a Killer, I wish they would have went with the concept but I understand how comms would basically obliterate Legion’s pick rate and also as you two said with the new HUD.

They could still make a chapter like this, but they may need to tweak it a little further.
For example, a swf will know their friends and just simply ask. However, would it be so easy if suddenly every survivor and killer looked exactly the same? What if everyone was made to be the same person in the same outfit, including the killer? This could make for some chilling or unnerving moments.

The thing with a mimic killer is that, while cool, it is completely destroyed by a SWF paying attention, yet at the same time also destroys solo queue. it can only really thrive against SWFs on indoor maps, which is what we see in the video. Though at that point, isn't it just a basic' stealth killer?
Like, you can add a tell to the killer's power, but then it's just the base template of a stealth killer. It also takes away from the entire point of the creature. You're not supposed to be able to tell.
If all characters looked the same, you don't really fix the issue of SWF because they'll still just ask "that you?" This would also make it even disproportionally stronger against solo's. Not to mention that changing every character into the same one is, imo, just weird.

As others have pointed out it would be hard to do with teams on comms and hud display.
But I’d love The Thing as a killer. Impersonating a survivor.
Outpost 31 could be a new map with indoor and outdoor setting or even ice station Thule the Norwegian base.
McReady as the survivor, skins for Windows, The chief, doc, Palmer etc.
That would be sweet.

I mean that killer would not have a power against a swf, so I would not bet on a killer that only has a power if he faces soloQ, even tho stealth killers are kinda the same.

This killer power would work only if the survivor skins swap with the other survivors in the game each time the killer shapeshifts into survivor and you couldn' t see the gen progress,healing,cleansing or opening chest icons when playing that killer because these icons make that power obsolete the recovery progress can stay but all the others cannot be visible.
An example of how it would go:
Hens: The killer just transformed, I'm Claudette now, vo vo vo who is that injured Feng min, is that you Otz?
Otz: no I'm here with James working on a Gen
Hens: oh #########, he got me, I knew I should have pre runed
It would waste survivors time and they would have to double check every time the killer transforms having little to no time to react.

They could do that with an Us chapter. Where the killer can turn into any of the survivors, have no red-light, terror-radius, or HUD-icon indicator for X amount of time, a bit like Michael/GF.

I agree it's a cool idea that SWF would negate. But, what if we used bots? Like, what if the killer had a power that created multiple copies of the survivors and most of them were bots and didn't do anything, but one of them was the killer?

This is delightfully creepy. It'd need a good AI and a solid/extensive list of options and pranks available so it doesn't get repetitive quickly.
If the devs could come up with something like this and make it viable vs SWF they'd have a win for an anniversary release.
