Just a few from a survivor main.

I actually agree with some of the things you said, (Having a mode with no perks, add-on's, items. Dark Mist offerings getting reworked) But holy ######### you need to play more killer.

Reducing killer movement speed? Making survivors struggle out faster? Nerfing Bubba? My guy, do have some screws lose?

You really think it's unbalanced that killers are faster than survivors? What you're suggesting would literally make killer unplayable.

OK, killer main here. A few thoughts on what you wrote.

I think either killers need to be at the same pace or just slightly faster than the survivor, not 20% faster. Or if you won't change the killer's speed then you should take away bloodlust. Good killers don't need bloodlust or don't even make it to bloodlust when they catch the survivor.

Reducing Killers speed needs balancing on survivors side as well. Lithe, sprint burst and balanced landing need to go then or they would be getting too strong. Removing fast vaulting as well. Fast vaulting generally is in the advantage of the survivor in strong loops and gyms. About bloodlust: It is true good killers do not need bloodlust to hit you, but then again not every killer has the same ressources. Removing bloodlust would impact some killers more than others.

I'm sure this can't be implemented into the core game but the killer should not be able to see survivor items in the pregame lobby. This gives the killer an unfair advantage to see what the survivor is bringing and can make adjustments (like if they can see a key they can switch to franklins to make them lose the key or if survivors have med kits they can switch to nurses calling). Or survivors should see who the killer is so they can make changes.

The more medpacks I see, the less incited I am to actually bring Nurses, fast heal speeds mean lower chances of me getting reliable Nurses value, but that is another discussion. First thing would be to remove keys since they alter how the game is played. No keys, less variance and less need to know the items. Lore wise it would make sense that he sees what survivor is in game, what cosmetics they have and what items. Basically the entity shows the victims to the killer. The only item that really makes me alter my gameplay is keys. No item makes me change my perks in lobby, it only might make me change an addon. Seeing a lot of medpacks as example does not make me bring sloppy suddenly, especially when I am playing a non M1 reliant killer. Knowing the items has just small impact. Example seeing several toolboxes gives me knowledge that a 3-gen setup can be less effective, but that only comes into play if there is a 3-gen setup, but by then I will have seen the items on the survivors anyways.

There should be a barebones playlist. No perks/items/addons. Just survivors and a killer. That could make the game a bit more challenging for both sides and no one can complain about items or iridescent add ons.

Nice idea. I actually like that one.

Struggling on the killer's shoulder. Seriously who thinks that this is fair? A killer main? It should be reduced severely. I shouldn't be carried halfway across the map (without Iron Grasp) to be hooked. We have all had so many close calls or times where that bar was filled up but still got hooked. If you won't decrease the time of struggling then reduce the amount of hooks or increase the distance. There should be a fighting chance for a survivor to wiggle free. Unless you are an idiot killer or teammates take hits then there is no wiggling free. I'm not saying it should be one sided like it is now but it should be fair. There is no instance where I've been downed and was able to wiggle free because the closes hook was far away.

Firstly it is an exaggeration that it is across half the map without agitation/iron grasp. If you bring that argument, you need correct data, example how much you actually can transport someone across the map. First thing that comes to mind when I hear people suggesting to reduce the wiggle timer to break free: remove sabotage. If you significantly reduce the distance you can carry a survivor, then sabotage gets so much stronger. At the moment you already have an issue when survivors sabotage a hook just in front of your face and generally it is more often impossible to get to another hook in that instance before the survivor wiggles free. This would also impact some maps more. Some maps have bad hook placements, example Hawkins, where you see a hook close by and it is behind several walls and turns and dead ends. This would require extreme rebalancing on every hook in basement challenge. Next point here is that there is slowdown like attempted flashlight saves and bodyblocking. They can easily cost several seconds when transporting a downed survivor. Reducing the wiggle timer a lot, then those slowdowns would need to be addressed.

So while I have being hit by a killer on my mind I don't think a killer should be able to hit you on the other side of a window. You're telling me Pyramid Head can swing that blade through a window?

He can stab it through. Lore wise he was able to stab it through walls as well and that was not implemented. This argument uses realism to vent, despite a lot of things not being realistic. Why not mention as well that survivors jumping all the time out of the second floor and never twist their ankle? Also getting hit by a chainsaw and not die and be healed in seconds. Hitting through a window at arms length is realistic. You also used Pyramid head with an oversized weapon. You think Clown would not be able to slash through a window and arms length with his knife?
