Menu of tutorials and/or easy base tips on how to play as and against killers

I have been playing with friends that are new to the game lately and it's overwhelming for them when they face killers that are really rare (Twins, Hag, even Knight, etc.) because the gameplay against them is so different to the regular one. The basic tip during the loading screen does not give enough information on how to face these killers or how their powers works when you face them.

They say they only want to play with me so I can help them out, but of course, having to babysit people to learn the game is not the ideal thing and having to find tutorials on Youtube may not be the most appropiate thing. Basic things like having the ability to wipe away Hag's traps if they crouch, the Knight guards going away if you touch the person on the hook, etc. would be so helpful for beginners/casual players that want to remain as such but want to still learn the game.

Having to go through all the patch notes every time, which they probably don't even find easily in the first place, can be really overwhelming too. That's why I think that an update for the tutorials menu to give some basic tips on how to use, and counter killer powers with some little clip would be really helpful for these players. Giving easy accessful information to new and really casual players is always a really good for them! (Like in League of Legends, Overwatch, etc. where there are in-game clips in the explanation of the abilities of the characters)

    I don't know how helpful the current tutorials are, I am a veteran and I watched them and I would not use them. I fear bHVR have wasted their time making them. The best place for advice is the loading screen tips and bHVR is currently not making more tips or updating old tips. Which is a shame.

    I did a few years ago just for the bloodpoints and are really bad, they only help you a bit with the basics of the game in general. I am talking about some clips of how to counter or use powers of the different killers (for example, a clip of how to wipe away the traps, which even some people don't know that it can be done to this day because the killer is rare) would be amazing for these new players to get engaged more with the game without having to use external sources than can be not as reliable.

    The game is already harsh for new players due to the grinding it requires to get perks and characters (too many atp), so I think that adding this tool would make the game more beginner and casual friendly!
