New killer idea

The skin walker(the imposter)

This is one of my most favorite games ever I love it and will always be loyal to play this game I have had a few ideas for killers!!

First idea is ancient folklore of a skinwalker this character would be able to shapeshift into a Survivor character that they are playing against so that they can trick the survivors into allowing the character to get close!! The killer would have zero Terror radius until transforming into its full Skinwalker form!!

The Imposter can also damage the generator in Survivor form while it may look like to the Survivor that a fellow survivor is helping repair a gen the Gen is actually losing progress the killer can only do this per generator for a total of 10 seconds after 10 seconds the killer will automatically turn into its Skinwalker form!

When the killer chases in its Survivor form it has a somewhat demonic laugh!! And when stunned with a pallet it goes back into its full Skinwalker form the killer can also play with the minds of the survivors when a Survivor is downed their aura disappears for for 35 seconds and transfers to the Killer the killer can appear to be downed in Survivor form to get unsuspecting survivors to come help heal

Perks:

1-sheered nerves: survivors being on edge not knowing who to trust when doing a generator Will Repair a generator 3% slower when Within five feet of the Imposter

2-pain pause: when a Survivor is downed what's the killer picks up the Survivor all generators are blocked until hooked or dropped or if the Survivor escapes the grip of the Killer.. generators won't lose progress but the entity will block those generators

3-killers determination: gain 1% haste for every down you get for a maximum of 8% disabled once exit gates have been powered!!

Story of daniel trelin: Daniel trelin always had a hard time fitting in always trying to find his place in the world even acting like the people he went to school with imitating them whether it was a hairstyle or clothes just trying to fit in but one early morning hit at home he ran into this witch Who tricked asked what he wanted most after stating that he just wanted to be able to fit in and be like everyone else she laughed and tricked him he now walks the rest of his days unsuspecting as a funeral being able to be anyone he chooses to be!!

When killer is about to mori a survivor the evil spirit allows Daniel to come out just for a moment just to yell help me for the killer letting him see what he has done but having zero control the killer then bites off the face of their civilian and Daniel is yet again put back into the darkness!!

    I do like this idea! I also had a very simular suggestion about a mirror killer for some time back.

    But BHVR dosen't read, or consider our killer or survivor suggestion ideas. They haven't read any of mine that I have posted over the years. I wish they did for all of us.

    This forum is mostly about us players discussing stuff. And rarely a dev is coming in to change anything from what we talk about in game.

    I hope all this can change one day. Because we can have great ideas too! And a suggestion about a survivor/killer from us who play the game. Would be the best suggestion. They they know what we would buy!

    I think one of the reason we're never going to see this killer in the game is because it gets completely demolished by SWF's with coms, so it would be impossible to balance since it's core strength would only really work against Solos who already have it harder

    It's not true. The devs do listen but they rarely carbon copy the entire idea over as it was proposed.

    They transform it and turn it into something new.

    I've proposed a freddy rework long ago, and suggested they should make it where freddy can make the world around a survivor dark and hard to see so freddy could ambush them, and later came The Dredge

    I also proposed a floating killer ghost with candles who could shoot copies of herself through the map and objects to "haunt" survivors and hit them in a straight line, and later came The Artist

    I even proposed the freddy to be more based around the moments in the movies and referenced the bloodbath he appears from with link to clips from the movie and it's now part of freddy's rework too

    When you post killer ideas never fully expect them to copy it. They will consider the ideas proposed, transform them into something new and think about the best fitting themes to implement them

    People always cite swf to shut down this idea. Competent solo players exist. If I see Claudette hauling ass toward me while also seeing Claudette on a gen, guess what? It's the killer. I'm not an idiot and contrary to popular belief many solos are also not idiots.
