I think Samara from The Ring would be a great killer addition. Thoughts?

Samara, the ''little girl'' from The Ring would make a great addition to the game i believe. Her ability could go 1 of 2 ways, either having televisions across the map to teleport to and could be sabotaged for a short period of time by survivors, or having an pre rework nightmare sort of thing where she could pull people into her world with it and there be various effects for when this happens such as slow healing gen progression debuffs etc and to get out the survivor woulkd have to crawl through a televison or some sort of portal but could also be "guided through the woods" or something to be pulled out by other survivors requiring skill checks to do so. Her perks could be different with each of these abilities ofc.

For the television approach she could have one for people sabotaging killer objects that would either give an audible cue alone (less op) or an audible and visual cue. She could also have one that gives her movement speed when in chase over time considering in the movies she was fairly quick. Another could be an unteachable hex that would give her sort of an old hex ruin but only on her televisions and on all totems but the ones that are hexed at the time.

For the one thats like the old freddy sort of pulling them into her television realm, she could have one that makes them either leave behind an extended blood trail when injured while in the tv realm, or perhaps just makes the trail last longer or makes scratch marks more prevalent or precise. Another could be that the survivor would have her hair in their throat making them cough and gag every now and then until it is pulled out giving low range audio cues. Another could make the process of other survivors pulling the effected survivor out of the tv realm harder by either A) Making skill checks harder and/or more prevalent when in the terror radius, B) Making the time it takes to pull them out longer say a 10/12/15 seconds per level respectively, or C) Giving a visual cue when they are at 80% / 70% / 60% completion with an add on that would make this turn into a aura reveal for 3 seconds towards both parties (latter portion optional)

I think the first route is easier to put into the game, but the latter would give a better overall feel to her. AAnxious to hear your opinions and thoughts on this! I truly feel she would make a great tm killer.

    Actually it doesn't matter what new killers come out, since they're either to weak to be fun to play or they will get nerfed till they are. What's more important is what new Survivor is coming out.

    I mean in that context the way i see it is there will always be a survivor perk or 2 to counter any killer so truly in my opinion the competitiveness of the game is dead in that sense and i think content is what should be the focus of the game which is actually why ive decided to make posts like this to hopefully inspire that into the devs minds sine they are more survivor centric towards most things due to the player base for survivors being so much bigger than the killer player base.


    So im hoping to get them into thew mindstate of giving killers more content and giving survivors more survivability that way both parties can be still equally satisfied. That being said this killer would definitely not be overpowered in the slightest but would open up another playstyle similar to that of nurse, hag and freddy. All 3 of which survivors dont really enjoy playing against but dont mind really either, meaning its an all around win.

    I wish they'd just give Spirit a Sadako cosmetic. That would be enough to make me happy.

    The fact that this is the truth at the moment is rather sad...

    I wouldn't mind. I mean, I'd rather have it in the future, after a bunch of original characters (from different places since we already have 2 oriental ones, so it seems a bit much to me).
