SINGULARITY OF SURVIVORS (in general)
By now, every survivor can be any kind of character by the same trial with any kind of dressing and it can bring any kind of item with any kind of addon and i Feel like this is completely wrong. Being unique should be something important in this kind of game, where the knowledge of your opponent is everything, but what happens when you have more then one with the same character and skin in the same trial? You can't manage to gather proper informations on them and even if you might say: You still have the names and the little figures bottom left, they might abuse their skin to indulge you on chasing someone who isn't the same you wanted to chase. I know that you could easily think "You say so because you want to tunnel ppl!!" But this is not the right answer. When you are a killer you have to know how that player moves and how that player reacts to certain kind of things like mind games or loops and stuff like this and nobody is the same in this, that's why the singularity is important. Reguarding items, it's just too common that ppl brings with them plury insta-heals or uber power items with uber power addons. I understand when it's about bad ppl we are talking, but right now, the "unskilled ppl" is almost unexistent (Talkin about "item necessity") Those items are just something that makes a good survivor a very game changing one.
What i suggest is: About character, put a "just one character x game" rule (Tired of 4 prestige 3 claudettes in my game honestly...) And about items "just one toolbox, just 2 med-kits, just one torch, just one map and key)
Hope to hit the point for most of you all, happy to share with you my ideas, i hope you will share yours!

So if all my perks are on Laurie and someone else plays her I cant use the ony survivor i've put points into?

The point is, in my opinion, you should choose the character you want to play right b4 finding the match. So you will always have your character and you will always be free to play her without any copycat.

Queue time for claudette be absolutely insane.

Good chance to play another character ^^

And ofc, you should see the approximate time of queues for every character

I still believe that this should be a thing

Why? All of the survivors are effectively re-skins of the same "character". If you have one survivor that you like and have useful perks on, you should be free to play them.
For example, I have all the perks on David because he became my preferred survivor. My other survivors don't have many perks that I want to use. Your suggestion would mean that any other player using David before me would effectively handicap my match or force me to play a completely different build than what I wanted to use. This would just make more survivors dodge lobbies until they found one where they could play their character, effectively extending matchmaking times for everyone.
Not everyone likes or plays P3 Claudette anyway. A lot of players don't even run the prestige cosmetics because they earned or bought alternate options.
I can understand your frustration with sweaty Blendettes, but I do not think this system ever will (or should) be implemented.

wow im pretty hard on survivors and even i wont support this. Let them play who they want to play.

Yeah, I'm gonna disagree on this too. The fact there are rift challenges and daily challenges that are for specific survivors too would make this a nightmare in logistics. If everyone needs the "hide as Dwight" achievement, they shouldn't have to queue up twenty times just bc someone got to be Dwight first.
Also sometimes my friends and I just like to meme. It's just plain fun if we all get to be shirtless No Mither David or Scoops Ahoy Steve.

I never said that you can't play your character, i only said that there should be a character Q or a unique pick lobby or even NO identical outfits. You are survivor and you don't know what it is to play against all full swf who abuse this stuff, and till there will be people like you who only think about "their own pleasure" then this game will keep having toxicity

sure, but differently one on another :) not all the same, not 2 the same, no equal items perks etc

everyone has its own daily to go for, plus you are all speaking like there are 3 people playing this game while atm there are SO MANY playing and even more would join IF the healthy state of the game would be revisited instead of letting it be like this. For the rift challenges 2 things:
the first is that: since there's people who says "i wanna play my char and my char only" then they won't bother playing the rift challenge char since they only care about their own one
Secondly: i never and i say NEVER see any other char then the 4 starting char in a bunch. There is ALWAYS at least one claud, ALWAYS at least one nea, ALWAYS at least one meg and ALWAYS at least one Dwight (Obviously, not always all in the same game, but at least one of them in it) I see a few Kate, Feng and Jane main (in which i am too) but rarely i see Tap or Adam or anything else.
Variety should be at TOP instead of all a copypaste of the previous one, and this game suffers a lot for this

So people who put some serious time in to unlock event cosmetics, prestige, legacy (if they'd earned it back in the day), and even purchased outfits couldn't use them if someone else in the lobby already was wearing it? Imagine spending all that money to get the Lisa Garland set just to never be allowed to wear it because lots of other people do. Even if you only do this at a cosmetic level, many of the licensed survivors still have very few cosmetics to choose between (Bill, Laurie, Nancy, etc), so this would be likely to lock players out of those characters regardless.
It's also completely infeasible for them to even design a mechanic to track this stuff unless all outfits became linked outfits (even then I'm skeptical that they could). If they can't reward/return cosmetics on an individual basis, then they cannot track what players are wearing on an individual basis either.
And they won't, because this is not an issue for most people. The only time it is really annoying is when the survivors are abusing the power of 4x Blendette (which is instead an issue with Claudette's wide array of dark/earth colored clothing). But killer can always dodge those lobbies, bring a mori, or use a map offering to force a map where Blendette's power is limited.

Again, you act like there would be just one or two people playing this game when actually is full of them. I'll make this thing clear again, You make a Q where you join with a character and in that lobby you take that character spot and no other characters like you join, so everything about that character is yours only. I don't see where is the problem :\
Also, the "Let's pick all the same character" is one of the most common premade thing and this is made obviously to confuse the killer in terms of who to chase/hit and who to hook. Since every other game has this kind of Q and nobody has ever had problems with it expect kiddos who only play one char in their life and they cry when they can't play that only char (like yasuo/zed or genji/hanzo players for example), i don't see why a game like this, where singularity should be a thing, this doesn't happen.
so if we are talking about "doable" this is 100% doable and 100% acceptable. if we are talking about people upset or not about this thing, this should not be a concern of a certain dev who is actually trying to make a game balanced since personal feelings/ideas should not be put in the table when in terms of health state of the game.
