Walk through pallets
1 -
A killer that throws meat hooks and pulls survivors to them. Two modes that are switched between like doctor where one is attack and one is the throwable hook to pull survivors over even through windows or over pallets as long as they're on the same floor. Yes you could argue that it would be horrible with peer2peer but I still want it.
I would have said a killer that can throw or block paths by creating a barrier or wall but Clown somewhat fits that description now.
Edit - Did I misunderstand OP? Was this about actual killer powers or just general stuff all killers can do?

I personally would like to see a weeping angel like mechanic.
I had this idea after thinking about a mannequin-killer.So basically the killer has several bodies of him-/herself and can teleport to that body to being able to change targets in short time.
Of course it has to have a big cooldown-time or if a survivor looks directly to that specific body, the killer can't teleport there or can't move.

It would be cool as killer to be able to summon some sort of AI buddy that would basically allow you to be in multiple places at once. The AI would be simple, in that it would just chase survivors in a predictable path, but since you can act how you want it means that while the AI is chasing them you can be going around to cut them off. It also means that you could sort of gang up on a survivor.
Only problem is that no AI exists in this game AFAIK, and writing AI is difficult, especially if it's going to achieve anything in a game like this.

Forcing down pallets or blocking windows for a small period of time. That would be amazing. It's obviously OP but... it can be balanced.... maybe.1

May be a little op at first, but everything can be tweaked!

Would love to see that ingame!

That's why I suggested switching between modes rather than having both available at the same time. Anyone whose good at Huntress would feel right at home with a killer that has essentially unlimited ammo and gets a free hit every time they use their power. With switching they would gain distance on someone but they'd have to switch using 1-2 seconds giving survivors a small window of time to react.

Bamboozle is lovely, I know but I was thinking more like forcing it to block, like you contact the entity somehow and block the window or throw down the pallet before they get to it.Skorpanio said:@lemoNN said:

A killer that can manipulate the surroundings to benefit the killer or makes the survivors have a tougher time, like to summon a temporary hook or mess with survivors like inverting controls and creating generators that is a trap, just some ideas.

A killer who can crawl up walls and other objects. We were supposed to get a killer with that ability 2 years ago, but never happened. If this killer would actually be a thing, I think with a ton of practice, you would be able to use mind games to confuse the survivors.

I'm working on a custom killer right now. He has two modes, one slows down the game and the other is good at chases. The twist is that the more gens get done the weaker the stall power gets and the more gens get done the stronger the chase power gets, his strategy changes throughout the match.

a "pit bull perk" that allows the clown to wear the teeth of a great white shark and bite survivors, while violently shaking his head about to the tune of bloodpoints flying, this is shown as the animation of floating hearts. this can only be triggered when a survivor rises from the crouch position (teabag) and leaves the survivor dead like a mori.1

Great 'Original' idea must have!1 -
i should get a patent.1

Shapeshifting and mimicing survivors, though obviously they'd need to segregate SWF first.

A Killer that could jump over certain obstacles. Could be funny.

A killer that can phase (and I’m not talking about blinks like the nurse) through walls and objects think about it! It would cut chases shorter and it would also make looping the killer harder1

1.
A vampire with teleportation or warping. Like a bat warp similar to nurse and her warp. Instead if caught on warp, vampire sucks your neck and you become harder to heal or unhealable until hooked.
2. Werewolf, with an ability to get all on 4s and crawl, (which is what i thought the pig was doing til i noticed she just crouches...=wack) crawling disappears TR and it allows a lunge or speed run like billys chainsaw.
These 2 original killers would be fun IMO. A vampire and werewolf dlc bundle lol would be awesome. With an event to see who pleases the entity more. Vampire or WereWolf.1 -
For people who want scream or ghostface as a killer. I think him and his power could be, mimic a certain survivor and his whole skin changes to them. Thus tricking survivors, the only way to notice if its him is by looking at his knife hanging on his waist.1
-
I would personally like a killer with some kind of a rage power.
So the longer the game lasts the more powerful the killer would get0 -

I am a simple man. I just want to be able to grab survivors from pallets and windows even when they are not injured.1
