How hard would it be to make jumping killer ?
I'd love to jump and ran on rooftops of Haddonfield. So that there's at least 1 fun thing about that map.
But seriously, jumping killer would be so cool to have. Even better if he could even crawl on walls and ceillings. Would it be hard to design such killer for DBD ? I know it like 99% won't happen cause balance & sutff but if it was handled like nurse with need of really good timing and serious MM slowdown then it could work imo.

I've always thought Jockey from Left 4 Dead 2 would be awesome!

I'm 100% certain they would avoid wanting to have a killer who can fly/jump/some other funky movement like that since it would be hard to code and might lead to a Nurse 2.0 situation.
If they can make it work without it being too overpowered or underpowered, sure, but I think the technical side is what holds them back the most.

Wouldn't Hunter be better? He can climb and jump walls more easily.

Jumping in dbd = bugs

Can nurse blink between floors on Meat Plant, on that note?

While Hunter would be cool, I think it'd be a little OP to have a Killer that can jump halfway across the map. He would really struggle on indoor maps as well. Just picture, Jockey with his insidious cackle for his TR, jumping onto a Survivor and leading them helplessly to a disadvantageous area unless they wiggle free or are pallet/flashlight saved. He could jump (basically Demo's 'Shred', but vertical) over LT walls or into second-story windows and literally get the jump on an unsuspecting victim. After some thought, the hook animation might be a little funky, but he could just grab the top of the hook post and yeet them up. His Mori could be just mercilessly pounding and jumping on them.

Table your thoughts of any other killer with an ability to crawl on walls and ceilings and throw them off to the wayside.
Because that ability is RESERVED for the Xenomorph, and the xenomorph only, anything else is unacceptable.

Demogorgon should have been the first thought, when it comes to jumping. It's agility and speed was dumb-down the second it came into the game. And in a survivor's perspective, looks like a malnourished hairless naked mole-rat doing a bipedal walking trick.

Although they dont go in the air, Demo and Amanda have a power that could be similar to a jump.

I've always thought a teleporting killer akin to Reaper in Overwatch would be kinda cool. Just sayin'.
Edit: When the killer teleports like this just give them a jump animation.

I want the boogeyman with transporting between lockers.

It would be too powerful on some maps and too weak on others. Plus, BHVR is not exactly for being masters at coding their game, he would probably have a ton of bugs.

Yeah she can, that map is annoying as ######### since you can't fake a blink.

Leprechaun on pogo stick would be awesome jumping killer, have a great mori too. 😂

I'm now imagining Leprechaun's Pogo mori as he jumps up and down stabbing into the survivor's gut 🤦♂️🥴

It's where my mind immediately went when I saw jumping killer. 😂

I mean technically demo jumps 🤷♂️

Licker from Resident Evil would be cool, since he crawls around it would be good for maps where theres not much in the way of buildings like rotten fields

Clipping on all objects even the sky in this game is random if not poor at times, you think they want to fix their mess of all the maps just to make a new killer.

Yes.

Well a jumping killer would probably breaks every last defense mechanism for survivors since he could just jump over pallet stuns and through windows without vaulting.
Also second store locations would lose all security, like balconies on Haddon field. FYI killer main here.
But nurse does roughly the same and got nerfed to make her less oppressing and the handling is way harder than I would imagine for a jumping power.
A roughly similar power would be legion but he gets limited by the non-lethal nature of his power.
So the jumping killer would either need skillfully handling or a non-lethal drawback to his power.
