5 Perk Slots (Killer and Survivor)?

With the incredible amount of perks currently in the game (and ever-increasing), what would you guys think about 5 perk slots (for both sides)? This would allow for more creativity and fun in builds, without having to forfeit the strong perks that help you to win. As for the UI, the 5th slot would go in between the 4 current ones.

    Or as a devil's advocate it would make the meta even more stale. The meta builds will just become more stacked and i can just imagine a killer build like this

    Billy with charge speed add ons/ curve addons

    Ruin

    Spirit fury

    Enduring

    Pop

    Save the best for last


    Survivor

    Adrenaline

    Dead hard

    Decisive strike

    Borrowed time

    Balanced landing


    These builds are pretty darn busted if you ask me

    Ive been thinking about this idea, i hope it would work and not make it stale (test build maybe?)

    It's sounds like an interesting idea and a way for people to use non meta perks and more diverse builds. But like @yandere777 said, it's just gonna make people add another meta perk to their build. They could make it something like each character could have a fifth perk that's their own teachable. Though, that'd mean you'd see Megs with Adrenaline, DH, DS, BT and IW/BL and Billys with Enduring, Spirit Fury, Pop, BBQ and Ruin. In the end it'd end up becoming even stale like it is now.

    Your idea would make a meta defined by characters instead of perks. Nobody wants a meta character, especially in dbd where the devs always say no to giving survivors stat changes. Neat idea but it only can work if it were introduced at launch

    Yeah, that was what I was trying to say by we'd be seeing more Billy and Megs. Billy is strong by default and Enduring is already a meta perk, then you could just add 4 other meta perks to him. Then Meg cause she's a popular survivor and Adrenaline is meta. I don't think it's a good idea either. Just saying that I can't see 5 perks being a good idea no matter how you implement it.
