Some balance ideas

Alright, so I know many people may have different opinions, but I've put a bunch of time into lots of ideas I'd like to see (mostly perks) that I'd like to throw out there in hopes to see some positive change and potentially healthy discussion. I actually put this together at random a couple times over a year or so (so it may not be consistent, my apologies if so), and I believe they're fairly strong concepts as I am someone with time back from beta days currently holding every level 3 perk on every prestige 3 character in the game. So, here we go:

All grunts of pain are stopped when standing or crouching still.

When unhooked, you gain the endurance status effect for 8 seconds.

Survivors do not see the notifications or auras of exit gates without an associated perk or item.

4 Item Chests spawn by default at the start of a trial.

Items will only spawn in chests and will not spawn in the bloodweb.

Bloodlust is removed and is instead replaced by each totem granting a movement speed bonus of 1% to the killer.

The entitiy will always consume nodes on the next possible path until blocked, only then will it spawn into the farthest outter position.

Should aim to make only 1 item for each rarity, and 2 addons of each rarity for every item (same applies for killer power add-ons).

Iridescent Hatchet does not cause dying state and will instead cause the deep wound effect.

The Deathslinger's shot will only cause deep wound if you let the chain break and stun you.

The Oni cannot see scratchmarks and he enters his wrath state.

Nurse will add the successful hit recovery animation when hitting a survivor and only blinks (not attacks) will extend fatigue duration in exchange. Also for the love of us all please fix her no-charge (loud repeating charge sound) glitch.

For killer offerings, only Ebony Mori, Black Ward, and Shroud of Separation are secrets.

Survivors will have one passive DS, read new changes of DS below.
