Practice mode in dead by daylight
I think that a practice mode would be so usefull. A mode to have fun by yourself and try new things, perhaps with bots with customizable difficulties. Not to do serious games. Just for fun. How many times you want to try something without start a ranked game and you need a friend for kyf? This would be a good addition to the game!

Bots are probably the limiting factor here, they'll be extremely hard to program unless they're extremely simplistic (the ones in the tutorial are more or less on rails). Probably not worth for the devs to put all that work into it.
But honestly? I don't need bots. Just give me the ability to choose any map/killer/perks for all 5 players, 3 or 4 survivor bots around the map who either don't move or just move in a single pattern (running around their home tile), and, if you're not playing survivor yourself, a killer who hits empty air, and I'd probably happily use it, just to test a bunch of things (or learn tricks of certain maps) without having to do an actual match. (If you want to go above and beyond, you could make things like 'buttons' around the map that trigger certain behaviors for testing purposes, say, one causes the killer to teleport to a hook with a survivor in tow, hook them, and walk away, so you can practice things like We'll Make It healing speeds stacking with other perks.

Instead of bots just have matchmaking for a practice mode, timed, hooks but no kills, gens but no escape (once completed will revert to unprogressed) bad/good killers can go against each other for practice, warmup, or just casual gameplay. I can keep going but you get it.

Dead bots could be helpful too. Or programmed bots. It doesn't matter. We need something we can practice to. Any of all your suggestions could work. Practice mode is urgent.
