Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Ideas for Queue as QoL Change, and Potential Perk Route for Future Killer(s)

Hello! I made an account to toss two ideas into the air for the game, if you have a moment for consideration. I want to preface this with: I am neither a killer nor survivor main, I enjoy the content on both sides and genuinely just love playing the game. My below ideas bloomed from concerns across the community, and I thought things over for weeks straight about how things would be impacted. I wanted to air these out to see what people think!

Queue: Potentially a solo queue option. This queue would act differently, as it would connect only to people queueing in the solo queue. This would alleviate the tension that the "survive with friends" concept brings for both survivor and killer. Survivors who are not part of these groups won't feel singled out and disadvantaged / targeted ingame for being easier pickings because they miss out on the information "survive with friends" groups have like active communication. Killers would not have to worry about the additional collaborate effort put in by survivors, and would be in an environment where individual skill flourishes as intended.

Future Killers, or maybe a Survivor concept too?: We have a lot of perks in the game centered around being able to maneuver faster, from sprint speed to vault speed and more. I think it may be beneficial to consider balancing the pool of these perks, with introducing more perks that slow. This may encourage killer players to not feel pressured to play the fastest killers, and introduce mechanics such as slowing on hit, maybe slowing survivors in a meter radius when damaging a generator, etc. A potential addition for Survivors I just thought of while writing this, maybe introducing a perk that slows the killer when pallet stunning, or maybe another objective-based item akin to flash bangs?

Please let me know what everyone thinks! If you want to build off these ideas please do!
