Passive Abilities?
I always thought that the idea of giving the survivors a passive ability unique to them would be a great way to make players play all of the characters after they've unlocked all of their perks. For example, take away the Flashbang perk from Leon and turn it into his passive ability that is unique to only him, and so on for all the other survivors. I believe that since the killers all have a unique power to go along with their 3 perks, then why can't the survivors have a unique passive to go along with their 3 perks as well.

no, that will make player only use some powerful perk survivors.
and killer will Confirm that perk and Prepare some killer perk to angst powerful perk.

That already happens since nearly every survivor runs basically the same 6 perks depending on need, so the killers already anticipate that with thier builds. Making passives available would require more planning on both sides to be effective. I wouldn't mind killers getting passives as well, like Billy being the only one with Lightborn, if worked out correctly (big if) it could be done without causing gamebreaking builds.

It could be interesting but it would be hard to balanced due to people having more metas just for surivors themselves but it would be an interesting idea! It would just be hard to do honestly

No, I never want to see survivor character meta.
It's bad enough sounds and models are not same.

Passive abilities for Survivors was on the table in 2017, but bHVR didnt like the idea then, they prefered people to be able to play the Survivor they want.
What new argument do you have to undo this?

Can't wait for every Meg to get tunneled for having a 1% haste bonus.

It IS still an advantage. It's bad idea. No disscusion.

This would do the opposite of what you're aiming for, it'd make players pick fewer survivors that they have access to. They'd pick the ones with the strong abilities (or just the ones they prefer using) and never swap off because they'd have legitimate reason to never swap off.
I'd rather not see it, personally. I like seeing a variety of survivors in my matches.

Yeah, I've always thought it would be nice. As it is right now, survivors are just skins. A passive ability or unique ability to each (like a killer who has its own ability and attack) would be cool.
And people who say "no because players would only use the most powerful survivor" maybe forget that they already do that by using the same perks in everyone...
