Totally random idea for an offering...

Since a lot of the universal offerings have been the same for some time, I just had a random idea while reading another thread.

So there is the offering that lets you play as another killer for a match with no perks (which for some reason I keep getting ones for killers we already own but I digress). I'd like to see a twist on this. Call it the "Shadow Splinter" or some such.

Example: You get a splinter to play as Freddy. You START the match as that killer (with no perks), THEN after (X) amount of time, you automatically change back to the killer you started with (perks in tact). It would be a mind$%&# for the survivors and cause them to have to change tactics.

Thoughts?

    so just an example you spawn as plague and then you change back to pig, how do the survivors remove their "hats" since this game could not handle spawning in new elements mid match

    same applies to changing back to trapper and plague

    Hey I didn't say it was a fully fleshed out idea but to answer you, you only get splinters for killers that don't rely on map elements. So Plague and pig would not be available for that kind of offering.

    I mean it's obviously hypothetical as game companies tend to only use their own in-house ideas to avoid litigation.

    The idea of changing Killers has always been an interesting one to me.

    But during a match, what if you get into a chase? How would this fit lore wise? And that would hurt if there was

    Still Bear Traps around

    Reverse Bear Traps on Survivors

    Plague's Barf

    Sleeping Survivors? (Lower action speed until blow up Gen or Stab self with Healing or have someone wake you up)

    Legion's Deep Wound stuff? (If you turn into Hilly, Insta Down guaranteed)

    Hag's Traps will be wasted

    Michael Myer's Progress RIP

    And also Madness from Doctor, you can't get rid of Tier 2 afterwards.

    They would need to do serious balancing in this case XD
