Split Screen Tutorial for Each Killer?

I think that as the number of killers increase, it is becoming more difficult to entice newcomers to try the game, and more importantly, to stick with the game, if they don't know what they are doing (as killers) or what they are facing (as the survivors). For developers and veterans, the complexity of the game had increased gradually over the course of 2 years from the days of only having 3 killers, but newcomers just trying out is suddenly faced with 12 different killers that all behave very differently. Sure, as beginners, losing frequently may be expected, but do you really want them to drop the game, not because of losing, but from the continual frustration of not understanding what is going on?

Can you create an Advanced Tutorial Mode for beginners that goes into the basic powers of individual killers, both from the killers' point of view and the survivors' point of view? It would be nice to have a Split Screen Tutorial so that killers can see what their power looks like from the survivors' view, and vice versa, as well as how their powers can be countered by the survivors.

It doesn't have to go into too much details (again, to not overwhelm them with too much information) but it would be nice for new gamers to know what the basic powers are by actually trying them out in a tutorial instead of simply reading about them on the loading screen. For example, it may be nice for both the Hag player and the survivors facing her to see what it looks like when traps are set off from both sides, as well as seeing that crouching will not set off the traps, and the fact that flashlight can erase them. It would also be nice to see what the Doctor's static shock looks like on both sides as you enter new Madness levels, as well as being informed that he has 2 different styles, one of which can stop vaulting, as well as letting survivors know that lockers are safe from the static shock. These aren't something that people would know from common sense; it's mechanics that need to be explained to them.

Thank you.

    we understand they're doing the best they can , its hard to pull of a big job with small team , lets just be Patient and let them take their time and we'll judge about the game in the end of their work , plus its a wishlist right ? that means they are going to see our requests here and respond to them , we're gonna give them some space to do their work , but seriously devs ,take your time and make every single one of this wishes possible ;)
