Survivor individually suggestion.
I play Killer Main. I will advocate for the killers considered the survivors have way to much variety. HOWEVER. I will state a few things survivors need going forward or what's the point in playing anyone but the one who blends best for each map? (This will be long winded I do my best to make it legible) (play time around half a year and this is my take)
Okay First Survivors to be fair obviously, I genuinely don't see the point in having more than 1 survivor with a crap ton of costumes..why? No individuality, unlike the killers there is NOTHING THAT MAKES THEMSELVES SPECIAL TO PLAY. No background story and character design doesn't matter in DBD, period.
So I would like to suggest that ALL survivors have a 5th perk a forced perk designed to make the character more attractive, fun and vulnerable, I have made a list of everyone who should have their specific ability and why. Thus begins my ridiculous typing.. No last names first name basis because way to much typing.
5th perk specific and permanent to the survivors.
Dwight's 5th, Bond, his story is about finding allies and helping them I like this concept and want to see more teamwork.
Meg's 5th, Adrenaline, She is a athlete so she should be able to get that burst of course during the make or break moments.
Claudette's 5th, Self-care, she studies botanical aspects so healing her self should be a given.
Jake's 5th, He is a solitary man so calm spirit should be obviously the choice.
Nea's 5th, Should be Streetwise as she is from the streets so she should be able to show the set of skills obviously.
Bill's 5th, I want to say left behind as this is from left 4 dead obviously this is the most logical.
David's 5th, No Mither he is a tough man and should be able to showcase it.
Laurie's 5th, No not decisive strike, this is for what suits the character not you. Object of obession as Myers was always obsessed with her why wouldn't other killers be?
Ace's 5th Ace in the whole obviously because he is a awesome gambler!
Feng's 5th, should be alert as she is a gamer and gamers are always alert for when a killer strikes ;)
Quentin's 5th, Clear as day should be Wake up! As he is a survivor for a short time of freddy.
Tapp's 5th, should be Detective's Hunch as he was on to who Jigsaw was at a early stage in the series.
Kate's 5th, should be dance wuth me as she seems to be the type who likes to dance.
Adam's 5th, keeping it simple he is a teacher you probably don't recall what Autodidact mesns so he shall teach you!
Jeff's 5th, should be aftercare as he is a kind quiet artist and a appropriate perk for him.
Jane's 5th, She is a influential Celebrity so she is would used the perk Poised to make a better attempt against killers.
Ashley's 5th, Mettle of Man as he is so manly he continually fights stuff he could literally just ignore.
Nancy's 5th, I am stuck between Fixated and Inner strength as both suit her.
Steve's 5th should be camaraderie as he is a great friend with a humor and what's better than stopping campers?
Yui's 5th, is clearly Breakout because she knows how to throttle a bike and how to throttle your way out of a killers hands.
Zarina's 5th should be For the People as she is a documentarian and that's a good quality to have.
Cheryl's 5h, should be soul guard just suits her honestly. (FYI developers this perk is broken and doesn't allow to always recover from the dying state even if all requirementsare met)
Felix's 5th, As a architect he builds things so he should have "Built to Last" as his perk.
Élodie's 5th, A occult investigator so she should be able to have the ability of "Deception".
Yun-Jin's 5th, I believe she is about her own self interest based on that "Self-preservation" should be her go to.
Jill's 5th, Is counter force as she is a woman who over comes countless things.
Leon's 5th, "Rookie Spirit" as he is infact a Rookie.
Now all of these should be Permanent and no choice in this as it's to make playing specific characters more special, HOWEVER, you should be allowed to Un-equip the perk if you absolutely don't want to utilize it in your play style obviously, this is to actually make some real interesting individuality between all the characters rather than just pick any perk you have learned and become a drone. I also would like a playstyle to be a listed above the survivors as some people will stay in place thinking they are being unhooked safely when they have "Borrowed Time" this would allow people to understand how you prefer to play however you should also be able to opt-out of this as some people would treat you differently if they didn't like your playstyle.
I Will release my Suggestions on the Killer side eventually still writing it, but this would be better than the new "Boon Totem" system for the Survivor's which adds an actual new balanced approach for the future gameplay.
Will edit for any mistake in spelling that I see.
I made the suggestion in no bias as a killer main. Hopefully someone likes my idea as I have been thinking about this for so darn long. Again my killer suggestion will happen eventually. But this is pretty much my only big truest suggestion to BHVR which I don't expect it to ever happen. But who knows. Maybe the community will like it and that would be good enough.

Not that it is relevant to the topic but bring back a option to play the original freddy or find a way to make it work and make it a second play style I want to play the original movie freddy not this new stuff. Lol.

And I still disagree.
- Meta survivors... as if that wasn't the problem. From the list you made - Meg, Claudette and maybe Nancy would get an increase in playrate. IF the survivors are playing to win obviously.
- Even tho some of these perks are weak, you're still giving a free perk to every survivor ON TOP of those 4 we have now
- Some people may be feel... discouraged? to play their favourite character. Let's say, I like Laurie, but don't like using OoO because I don't want attention. Well, yes, I can disable it but now I'm playing with 4 perks out of the potential 5 if I was just a diffrent character.

you would only ever see like 3 survivors in every lobby then though.
