OMA

So I've been thinking about how to make the game more interesting for everyone and I thought that maybe it might be interesting that maybe the killer could change kit mid game. If you've ever played MW2 you know what I'm talkin about. There was that one perk called One Man Army that allowed you to change what gun you carried, your perk set, throwables, all that stuff and I figured the killer is supposed to be an OMA against the survivors. So imagine this, right:

At any time during the match, switch your kit a maximum of 3/4/5 times during the match spanning a total of a fixed 4 seconds across all tiers.

This would include changing your perks AND addons so essentially you could switch your playstyle throughout the game to keep us pesky survivors on our toes. With the perk you would be able to obviously preset a bunch of kits before the game.

Now I hear you, "But wouldn't I basically only have 3 perks at once?" I know it sucks but that is basically the only downside and I tried to counterbalance that with the whole addons thing. It's not exactly designed to be a meta perk but more of a let's change it all up on you because I can kind of perk.

And I hear the survivors saying "But couldn't this be abused by just putting Ruin, NoED, etc on multiple setups and killers could just constantly put ruin back up?" I mean come on, it's a theoretical discussion. Maybe if it was actually tested and it worked that way that would be kinda cool. Maybe it would give killers more of a fighting chance to extend the game just a little longer. Maybe it was balanced that you could only pick any one perk once throughout your entire presets.

People with more experience than me could probably think of other ways that this would be unbalanced but the general idea is there. Maybe the killer couldn't have all these perks at once but you could essentially have 15 perks as opposed to naughty SWF with their 16. So discuss! What could be better, what could be balanced, is it just a stupid idea and I should uninstall, hit us with your opinions.
