Is it just me are all the new killer besides plague kinda just repeats
The demogorgan is just kinda a worse version of Hag and HillBilly other than the faster charge, Ghost face is a knock off myers with buggy mechanics. It seems the original killers are the only real cool powers and the last cool licensed killer was Myers and Freddy rework. I just want new interesting killers, Sure the Demogorgan is fun. But doesn't have as many play styles as Myers, Fingers crossed for a original chapter soon

I honestly have to disagree. Many of these killers have similarities, not so much repeats, but something that makes them unique in their self. For example, a loop that takes a while for the killer to get "around the world" back to the pallet, Demogorgons lunge really punishes bad timing and bad predicting.
GhostFace? Like really they couldn't have done anything else because they both stalk. Myers always has that inter frenzy to kill Laurie and stalk her to death and then GhostFace, stalking whoever he pleases is at the right time and right moment. There really isn't much of a difference between personalities based on their murder technics.
One thing I have to give to you is the repetitiveness of teleporting, oof yes.

We now have 3 Teleporting Killers, 3 ''Speed'' Killers, 2 Stalkers, 2 Trappers, 2 Ranged, and the groups can just keep going.
The Devs said that the Upside-down was too hard to make so they had to do portals with the Demo, I myself can't understand that. They have the ''Upside-down'' which is filter when you interact with portals and if it is a filter then the filter can activate when you go through a door/portal BAM Upside-down. Toggle collision when they have this filter applied etc. They could have done more with Demo but maybe I'm wrong and that's why it is so similar to Hag and a weak Hillbilly.
Whatever Killer we get next I hope it is something fresh instead of a variation of what we have. I was really hoping for a dimensional Killer who has their own realm, so much power from that ability <3

Yes, the killers' abilities resemble each other. But the question is: Which totally new killer mechanic can you come up with? It's not that easy.

De-mo-gor-gon

Well, Killers also become more complex. They have 2 abilities lately. Like, Trapper can only place Traps. Spirit can only phasewalk.
Plague has one ability, but this can have two different outcomes.
Ghostface can stalk and crouch.
Freddy has Snares/Pallets and his Teleport.
Demogorgon has his Portals and his Shred-Attack.
I dont think that they are that repeatative, they have the same base when it comes to teleporting, but they have different triggers or ways to do it.
Besides that, I think teleporting is one of the things that might come up more often, because the best Killers can cover distancens pretty fast and it is something that helps the Killers. And well, it is also kinda understandable with their Lore. Demogorgon with the Upside Down, Freddy can teleport in his Dreamworld... If Myers would have been released today, he probably would have teleported as well (seeing how he walks always slowly in the Movies, but can appear suddenly everywhere).
Personally, I like the older Killers more, I especially Ghostface and Demogorgon are not really my cup of tea. For Ghostface, I hate his inconsistency on both ends when it comes to stalking and also I cannot stand how dumb he looks when running after a Survivor. And Demogorgon simply does not really fit in DBD, but well, here he is.
I hope the next Chapter is an original one.

is it demigorgan?

Last very original and unique Killer was The Plague. I never saw vomiting infecting Killer to come and I like her a lot.

The upside down section of the map also is full of different props. They'd have to make upside down versions of each map just to do this.

You're talking about the vines? Those aren't 100% required, the Devs version of the Upside-down was confirmed to shown while working on the portals so their version is just a gray filter and some particle effects like Freddy. Nothing has to be complicated, anything can be made to be simple. But then again they said it was complicated so I'm wrong about something but I don't think they were looking at it right though. The OG Freddy had no collision while invisible, that right there says other objects can be made to not have collision to people who aren't in that layer of the map.

I’d either want Alien, that can have like a “hungry” mode that moves at 120% speed, can climb walls, and has increased lunge but has a 1:30 minute cooldown and has its power droned once it hooks someone. In addition, I’d also like to see an original killer that can take the look of a survivor and can like do a generator and heal without helping (kinda like blending in in Hitman)

So... the demogorgon is a worse version of two totally different killers with wildly different play styles, but with his own unique ability... you, sir, make no sense.

No, it's dimergergin

Yes but theres a difference when it comes to collision and appearance. Sorry if I sound rude btw I dont mean too! But the vines kinda are simply cause of the upside down feel/look and I feel like people would be mad if they werent included haha

No I think you mean Dedogigran

Oh yeah people would be disappointed, of course lol I would too. I mean the things they would need to do make the Upside-down legit and actually the one from the show is not possible. The concept of having a seperate dimension is possible, I think but it would be a completely watered down nothing dimension that's half-assed and no one likes that.
I do like what we got though, Demogorgon is terrifying I am legit tense when being chased, I love that :)

I still don't get how you guys can compare demigorgon to hag.
Hag must have survivors TRIGGER the traps so she can teleport to them instantly (If she is within range) otherwise she needs to use a ULTRA RARE addon to teleport to the trap manually.
Demigorgon can use the portals he placed whenever he wants and the only way for them to be destroyed (or if you want to place a new portal) is if survivors waste time by sealing it (time that could've been spent on a gen, but if they leave the portal they allow demigorgon to have a huge map pressence for the match)
Aside from that, the secondary ability on demigorgon is what sets him appart from being "a hag copy" , since it helps with chases by quickly covering distance and hitting survivors if they are not carefull enough (they are dodgeable, but if you don't pay attention to demigorgon charging shred, he gets a free hit)

I don’t agree that the killers are repeats. Look at in the sense that they are coming from a similar base.
Switching up the base and making it unique is fun imo.
I prefer ghost face stalking mechanic compared to Myers. They both have their down sides.

If you're saying the Hag is worse than the Demigorgan youre mistaken
0 -
yea hag is better than demo in pretty obvious way
1 -
hag cannot use her ability at all if survivors don't trigger her traps (and they are removed with ease via flashlights) soo i don't see how hag is better than demo.
0 -
Flashlights are finite and any match against a Hag you'll come across dozens of traps. Most people don't run Urban Evasion so not triggering her traps would mean you'd waste time getting anywhere.
