This has probably been suggested...

But maybe, when you down a survivor, this killer can knock them out, and hide their body, also hiding their aura. Then for 120 seconds the killer looks like that survivor, and whenever they try to heal or repair they do damage instead?

    I'm a particular fan of the film, and others have mentioned it as well, a Killer based on John Carpenter's The Thing. I feel it could work as long as there weren't any Survive With Friends going on. As soon as people are able to talk to each other, it'd break any advantage the Killer has.

    I had once the idea of a "Mimic- Killer"
    (Mimic not in the sens of these clown like people but rather like to copy the look of something)

    Basically the same idea as yours but it's not like, you have to down a Survivor first to copy them but rather like, you use your copy/mimic ability anytime you want to look like one of the survs in your Match (each time you use this ability you get a randomly chosen surv). You can' t really do ######### in this "mode" tho (no repairing, no healing, no vaulting, no cleansing totems, no searching trough chests nor hiding in lockers and you can't hit a survivor) but you can run/walk/crouch like a survivor.
    Looking like a Surv allows you go get close to your pray and maybe some survs even come running towards you if they need healing. Then you have to reveal yourself as the Killer to hit them, which might lead to some nice jumpscares.

    But idk, maybe this sounds only good in my head ¯_(ツ)_/¯
