Can we get a no perks version where each character has set skills and that is it ?

I feel this game could benefit from a skill based side of the game rather than how can get the best perks or buy a better character for a perk.

    As long as they're versions, and not replacements of the current survivors, I don't see much harm in the option.

    Well, until some jackass decides they don't like me playing as Min, Nea, or Kate, and tries to get me to play as someone else. ######### that.

    Then survivors would no longer be skins.

    I would be interested in a gamemode where killers and survivors enter the game with no perks, addons, or items. Would really help in getting raw data to judge how good/bad the match is in it's base format.

    It would have the same issue as Overwatch. "Please choose someone else this comp is bad". "We need a healer". "if you don't swap off David I will throw".

    Worth it as they are as expensive as killers.

    BTT:
    This game mode would really be interesting.
    But there should be 1 Perk available for survivors: No Mither>

    Considering everyone plays Claudette I think the problem would be that they have 4 healers and no "DPS".

    Very true, I only play Nea so I would be stuck as the Sombra type character xD

    God I'm having Overwatch flashbacks now (also why David? He's a loveable guy!)

    @Camophlo Just because his perks can make it more difficult, I mean no offence towards him! He is from Manchester I think and I like to imagine bumping into him in a pub!

    I do not miss all of the criticism for choosing Widowmaker in quickplay!

    Hmmmm why not one character and only there 3 tecables for the role (I mean make it adept only nothing else and we can see how it affects)

    I’d love a bonus to characters. I’ve always wanted to be a healing based Claudette.

    Sounds kinda boring tbh.

    Perks and Add-Ons are what make DbD fun. Build variety and customizing your character with certain abilities.

    Do you complain when you have to unlock better guns in shooters? CoD could benefit from a skill based side of the game where you can only use your starter pistol.

    No its not boring what it means is you will need skill to play not cash. Perks and ad-dons are what make the game unbalanced. No I don't complain about that in cod because they have a very basic balancing system for the weapons so they don't tend to be a problem. Whereas the perk system in this does make it unbalanced. If you had a class based system with no perks just set abilities the ranking system would make sense but it isn't like that and makes the game annoying and luck or money based. The original three halo games skill based and were some of the greatest games ever created.

    Though David is cool, according to Mathieu, he's a not-so-great person.
