Kill/escape count based cosmetics
So i have been thinking a lot about this for some time now, but does the concept of kill/escape count based cosmetics sound like a cool idea? Just to explain further, I believe the devs should implement different cosmetics for survivors and killers based off how many escapes/kills you have with said character. For example, if you are a hillbilly main and you have 100 kills, you should unlock a cosmetic for hillbilly that shows you have 100 kills. Or if you are a meg main and you are able to get 100 escapes with Meg, you should be able to unlock a cosmetic that shows you have over 100 escapes with her. To add on to this, I personally believe that the cosmetic for each character should be in different tiers and the outfit progressively gets cooler with each tier. For example, on the killer side:
Hillbilly cosmetic
100 kills - Tier 1
500 kills - Tier 2
1,000 kills - Tier 3
and of course escapes are a lot harder to get than kills so for survivor it should be:
Meg Thomas cosmetic
100 escapes - Tier 1
250 escapes - Tier 2
500 escapes - Tier 3
(I even had the idea for a cosmetic that is a standard black/white T-shirt with a number on the back that could display the highest amount of escapes a survivor has gotten in a row. Killers would not be able to see it in the lobby since it is on the back of the shirt.)
As someone who has 2,500 hour in the game, I can tell you that for me personally, the urge to grind this game has all but disappeared. I really only play every once in a while, but a system like this would give me a reason to grind my favorite killers and get some escapes.
Now I know there is a potential downside to implementing this, especially for survivors. I know there are a handful of killers who if they saw survivors that had a Tier 3 cosmetic they would get intimidated and lobby dodge thus increasing survivor queue times, and on the flipside, I can see survivors killing themselves on hook because they don't want to go against a nurse/blight/spirit with over 1,000 kills, but I think this issue would be trivial in compared to the grind that a system like this would create.
What are your thoughts?

Cosmetics that rank up with how badass you are? Neat idea!

So kinda like bubbas masks that were once in the game.

It's a cool idea but I feel like it'd lead to a lot of sweating and cheap plays. i.e killer tries to secure 1 kill every game by camping and tunneling one dude every match. Or survivors bring 4 tool-boxes with bnp's to farm escapes. Eventually it would just lead to people dodging players with those cosmetics because the match will most likely be miserable. I really do love the idea though. Sadly this is the DbD community and anything fun or cool will just lead to people taking it far too seriously and ruin things for other people.
