More detailed killer's info

By pressing the appropriate button you can read some information on the selected character, in particular his history, the unique perks unlocked and, for the sole killers, the height, the terror radius and the speed.


These last three parameters are either incomplete or incorrect, and can seriously mislead the player who relies on this information.

I'll give you a small example of that issue. Regarding Myers, it says that the terror radius is 6 meters, the speed 4.6 m/s, two incompatible parameters: the terror radius of 6 meters, typical of EW1, is combined with a speed of 4.2 m/s; while the speed of 4.6 m/s is associated with a terror radius of 16/32 meters.


It is necessary to provide correct and detailed information, in particular the various speeds of the killers (ordinary and special: Billy's chainsaw, Nurse's blink, Spirit's phasing, cloaked Wraith's race, Pig's ambush, crouched Pig's or Ghostface's walk...), the related variations of their terror radius (Myers, seen above, and the stealthy killers, who can have 0 meters; but also Huntress' lullaby) and their height (crouched Pig and Ghostface change it).

    I would like if they were more specific but The devs would probably say it would be too confusing for new players.

    @Adriang14 Believe me, new players don't study any stats, they like the killer and try to have fun, and, if they are curious, it's far more confusing for them to read that Myers has 6 meters TR AND 4.6 m/s speed, a couple which never exists in game.

    No arguments here, new players typically pick what they think looks cool; while veterans like to theory craft and build strategies ... More data means better planning.
