How enjoyable would be a game mode with NO perks/addons/offerings enabled? (vanilla mode)

I believe it woul be super fun ^.^ and easy to implement!

    It certainly would be a test of game knowledge and "skill"

    A mode like this would make the game more scary. Because stealth killers will not be screwed by spine chill or any other of those perks.

    Trapper would be so much hot garbage in that mode. Probably Wraith would as well.

    It'd be a barbeque feast for the tunneling and face camping killers. Expect to get farmed off hook 10x more in solo queue because BT won't save you. Killer knows you don't have DS so they have no trouble tunneling.

    "What if you have good team coordination." That's not gonna stop that Myers or Ghostface in the corner putting you in exposed because spine chill doesn't have your back. What about hella new killers who use NOED just to help them out at the start cuz that toxic SWF came in and all of them are red ranks but they have a rank 19 hosting the lobby.

    So many things would happen that make the game terrible, sure the game is somewhat balanced this way, but there are still killers with the power to insta-down. My conclusion is the game wouldn't last a week this way and everyone on both sides would leave.

    I think if this were to happen EVERYONE would pick Claudette and Spirit.........in fact this did happen once before. In a tournament they set the rules to no perks, items, offerings, add ons. Every survivor picked Claudette because of stealth and every killer picked Nurse. This was pre rework.

    I think it would be good at first but get boring fast, would be a good way to test how base game is balanced though.

    Almost every match would be genrush central. And yes, I mean genrushing: sprinting from gen to gen, leaving people to die on hooks to finish gens as fast as possible because the killer will snowball if you dont because without perks they'll only be playing the absolute strongest chasers.
