It think it's time to just add Vs Ai
It's kinda tiring seeing niche perks become more worthless for killer and making the role more and more boring to play. Most of the killers have to use slowdown to compete and no changes coming to help that. And less and less incentive to not use them because anything outside of those become remotely useful end up being nerfed to be useless.
Not to mention the constant changes to forcing the game to comply with the survivor rule book. It's probably best to implement a Vs AI mode.
Why? The AI would be setup to comply with said rule book and would give a way to play the game for people who don't want to deal with the meta, or the play style that killers are forced to do in order to win at the game.
I don't think this will really make the queues any worse than they are now as these changes continue, we are gonna see a lot of killers just not want to play the game. As your either pigeon hold into a slowdown build in order to play the game at all or accept you are going to lose and go for an unorthodox build.
Then, there's less reason to nerf lesser used perks as if anyone doesn't want to deal with them or slugging or whatever. Can simply go out to play against the AI. I don't think a lot of players are really that interested in that much of a level of a challenge when playing DbD. Most people don't come to DbD for a challenge or to play with any real effort.
Then the actual normal queue can be the "competitive" queue in essence. This would also give the balancing team breathing room on balancing certain aspects of the game as anyone is welcome to go play VS AI if its too difficult.
This would be different from custom obviously since it would have a better AI and you can earn points, shards, levels, etc.
