New Characters Should Start With Three Perk Slots
Bringing a level one character into a trial is a pretty bad idea in general - kinda bad for survivor depending on which survivor and thus what perks they have, but a tremendously bad idea for killers - and the main reason for that is the ability to only bring one perk even though they start with three in their inventory.
In my opinion, you should be able to go for a character's Adept achievement right away if you want to, even though it'll be a lot harder for you. This change would still encourage levelling up a character first to get better perks and to unlock the fourth perk slot, but it feels utterly awful having to grind for bloodpoints just to get a character up to the point where they're at all usable.
Also, get rid of perk tiers. That one is its own thing, though.

sure I don't think anyone would disagree with that. But it will likely not happen or at least not by itself since bhvr has a bad tendency of not fixing issues individually and try to go after large problems and hope it filters down to the little problems I'm going to coin it as trickle-down game design, and it's as horribly ineffective as its economic variant.

Hm, i always save so many points that i can level them up to 10 and use their three perks to adept.

They did promise to make the grind better... I'm still waiting for this plus Legion and Ghostface buffs :(

I absolutely don't mind if characters will start with 2, 3 or 4 perk slots unlocked but it's not really that much of an issue as you can get enough BPs to unlock those slots in a few matches.
At least as a killer you can play a few matches with your main and put on BBQ. In theory the same can be done as survivor with WGLF but you might get unlucky and get tunnelled/camped/unhooked by teammates in killer's face.

Yeah, I never really understood why they lock the perk slots. Maybe it’s intended to keep cheaters from just making a brand new account and having four slots right away? 🤷♂️

Sadly, that doesn't really matter... cheaters just use whatever perks they want at will in-game. One cheater I saw had Flip Flop in-game but four different perks on the end-screen.

I think they should simply lower the bloodweb prices. This would reduce the overall grind.

They literally changed it so you have perk slots avaiable very soon... Lvl 15 takes like 5 games, stop crying.

Five games before the character you bought is usable, that's my point. It would help cut down on this game's grind immensely if you could at least use a character's teachables straight away.
This isn't crying, it's a suggestion for how to fix an obvious existing problem with the game. I'm not saying it's a horrendous timesink (though five games isn't that quick either), but it's enough of one that doing it every time adds up and contributes to the game's overall grind.
