Killers need Out-of-the-box design from here on out.

Unless this is addressed, the game will keep bleeding players. The reason the new killer was so heavily criticized is because of stale design.

You would think a killer with drones would feel new and unique, but she did not. Mainly because the core design is the same as every other m1 killer. If you keep designing these killers that do nothing but chase people around pallets and hop through windows, game will feel more and more boring.

Here is an example of a new killer design.

Name: The Grey Alien

Speed: 4.4 m/s (110%)

Height: Short

Power: Mind Control - Project your consciousness outward in a projectile (similar color scheme to cloaked wraith) at 40 m/s. If this hits another survivor, control that survivor for up to 60 seconds. During this time the Grey alien loses his terror radius. You can now control the survivor and do anything a normal survivor can do except drop pallets.

This ability has a resource pool of 60/60. Each second a survivors MC'ed, 1 point is drained. 60 full seconds to recoup from 0 to 60.

MCed Power - A survivor your controlling can initiate a grab on another survivor and hold them in place for the remaining time on Mind Control. When this happens they are immobile and the MCed/grabbed survivors aura become visible to the other 2 survivors.

Additional MCed Power - The Grey alien can leave a controlled survivor comatose for up to 60 seconds by hitting the active ability button. During this time, the survivor will see through the grey aliens POV due to the shared mental connection (so its not boring for the survivor). During this time the survivors aura is shown in white to all other survivors.

Lastly, hitting a comatose survivor, will stun the grey alien for 5 seconds due to the shared mental connection.

Countering Mind control -

1) Pallet stunning a controlled survivor will snap them out of MC.

2) Snapping a survivor out of MC (similar to freddy sleep) will work on a comatose survivor (including when they are grabbing another).

3) Flashlight blinding a comatose survivor will snap them out of it.

Second ability: Photon stun gun - The grey alien has a self recharging stun gun that shoots out a green photon ball that stuns a survivor for 1 second. It is an instant draw ability, doesn't slow the grey down, and the projectile travels at 25 m/s. Recharges automatically after 16 seconds.

Releasing a killer like this would reinvigorate the game and add more depth and fun to the design. New strategies for the killer instead of protecting a 3 gen, slugging, or tunneling is what's needed.
