Can we have passive survivor differences?

With passive gains comes passive losses to balance them out. This also creates a meta and you'll see a character tier list so it encourages variety to a point. Anyone who vaults faster or has any extra performance in chase will be picked due to them having a higher rate of survival. 

Agreed. I like just being able to pick a survivor that I like based on how they look, instead of having to grind for a survivor I don't care for, just to have a bonus trait. F13 was a mixed bag because everyone had different stats, and it can be difficult finding one that suits your play style. The character that I mained was good at repairs, but terrible at stealth. Survivors are very balanced between one another because there aren't any significant differences between them (aside from females being smaller than the males). Killers are unbalanced because they do have specific traits (powers) with their character, so you don't really get to "pick one" like you would with survivors. We already have meta perks, I don't want to see meta survivors (Claudette is already a bit of a meta survivor).

But you see thats the problem is that there isn't any reason to even add new survivors to the game because they have no purpose

There's already something exactly like this that exists: teachable / unique character perks. Unless you mean adding a 5th perk slot, or just buffing survivors outright, this idea wouldn't do much good for killers. Now, even if it was for killers too, killers already have their own unique abilities, so it would be much more useful for survivors. This would anger those who play killer even more, and in my opinion this idea is destructive and quite dangerous.

Exactly teachable perks which can be taught to everyone and I did talk about various debuffs which would come to certain survivors with the passives like for example Feng vaulting 10% quicker but her exhaustion recovery speed is reduced by 10%. This would make it so Feng can easier survive killers like the Huntress or The Nurse while also being weaker towards killers like Wraith, Trapper, And Doctor. It would make an actual Meta and provide actual reason to play new survivors other then "They have a nice coat."

So you just want to add an extra teachable perk for survivors?

I imagine they would do something similar for the killers for the sake of balance.

This cannot happen. It would create a meta where only certain survivors are played based on their viability and you would see less variation. Instead, I suggest we introduce more of the survivor's version of powers, items.

Personally, I'd love to have a 5th extra perk for killers and survivors which can only be filled with one of their personal perks...

Of course they would adjust killer powers to weaken survivor passives
