Would you developers ever have contests for perk designs or reworks?

Just like the cosmetic contests, I would love too see peoples perspectives on original perks and perks reworks. Maybe one perk could be created or reworked monthly. Taking it in turns from killer too survivor or both each month. Obviously I bet people would go crazy but numbers could be tweaked.

    This is something they should do for the upcoming community made chapter. They should allow the community to submit perk ideas for the chapter and choose one for the survivor and killer that they like the most.

    I suspect that BHVR probably has dozens, if not hundreds, of perk ideas just sitting around. A contest would lead to accusations of theft ('I submitted an idea just like that!') which would be a huge problem.

    Lol. You do realize that the community has more survivors than killers, right? The "most voted" killer perks would be "Stand still for 60 seconds to gain 1% Haste for 1/2/3 seconds." Meanwhile, the survivor perks would be, "You gain 40/45/50% increased action speed."

    no.

    the community is horrible at making decisions like that.

    putting the general survivor bias in the community aside, people have no idea what a good design is.

    their understanding of a "fun" thing in this game is something utterly abusable and unfair that's balanced by them being terrible at the game. like nurse or shoulder the burden.

    That's why the community would be submitting perk ideas and the devs would be the ones choosing the perks to add to the game?
