Ideas for skull merchant rework?

So far even with all the negative feedback for the skull merchant. I'm still one of those people that really liked the character design. But ill admit playing as skull merchant is currently like playing on hardest difficulty atleasf if u arent a tunneler/camper. And i find allot of times where i still can't do much even when i know i am good in chase and mind games, it still takes chasing someone through half the map to catch them, which often ends up with you breaking off to defend generators for an extra long game or you just lose. So i'm sure allot of people would like to see ways she can be changed to be more engaging and fun, or at the very least have more of an offensive power rather than defensive. For example if the drones were controllable weapons but that might end up similar to victor, or the drones maybe instantly latch onto survivors to slow them for a time but that be more like clown. Anyone else have ideas?

    Or another idea that may make her power seem closer to her trailer n stuff is if the drones were roaming minions like zombies only when they spot a survivor they chase/expose or slow down the survivors while broadcasting their location to the killer. Meanhile changing her drone pullout button to a form of lunge attack much like how she busts doors which would make her claw feel more like a high powered weapon and shed still be good at getting information from drones

    Infact with this idea the drones could retain their radar sweep function, retain their activated function, retain their claw trap function and eliminate making them used primarily as generator defense turrets rather that drones actively hunting people down. I found avoiding the radar sweeping of the drones to be a fun interaction with them and it would be interesting if they moved around. And giving her a pallet shredding claw lunge would make her a much more fun killer to play as in chase and makeup for her not being able to plop a drone wherever she wants and make her huge claw feel like a huge claw. All of this would make he feel more like shes hunting people with her gadgets rather than defending generators and waiting for people to come to her.
