Ingame idea

I have a ingame idea.Why don't killers get a special fifth perk slot but only for new type of special perks that are more powerful but you can only have one and this will make it more fair, becouse sarvivors have 16 perks combient in a mach but killers only have 4.And this will be very fun and good for killer players making there expirience better.With this there will be so much place for new perk ideas and old perks can be updated to become special perks , and there can be special hex perks ,surge hook perks and it will be extremly fun for this to be in the game.I am a gaint dead by daylight fan and I've spent tousands of hours playing it and I've played both surviver and killer and lately i haven't had as much fun as killer and i wanted to try many builds but they were not as effective ,becouse of the limited perk slots and i think this will really be a big update to dbd and survivers won't be let down there can be made hundreds of perks that work with effects connected to the special killer perks and sarviver perks that work when there is hex perks , but there arent many this days can now work with special perks.Please devolepers think about this ingame idea and give it a try you won't regret it.

    Giving the role of killer a universal buff just because survivors have more perks doesn't make sense, especially when game's balance is already tilted in favour of the killer role (killers have a kill rate of between 50-60% currently). Killers have things like bloodlust and powers that survivors don't. That doesn't make things inherently unbalanced, due to the asymmetric nature of the game.

    Both sides are completely different, so trying to do a straight comparison between the two never works. Giving each survivor their own power alongside their four perk slots wouldn't be fair purely because the killer gets four perk slots along with their own power. In fact, doing that would likely completely mess up what balance the game has.

    If you want something like that you would need to argue for it based on game balance.

    With the wY they play no way should they get another perk slot. They would have to do something aboutbslugging and tunneling off hook then.

    Game balance is completly broken and the metas need to change you know that there needs to be change in metas if killers best strategy is to tunnel out survivers and survivers best strategy is to genrush the hell out of the killer.I presume this as a fun and game changing idea .Of course survivers must get something in return but atleast this will make the game much more interesthing for both sides if balanced corectly and it will change the meta for good .Don't start with game balanced and killer sided things of coures this will be made balanced in some way.

    Killers already have 5th perk slot, it called power.

    If that's the case then your argument shouldn't be that giving killers a fifth perk slot is fair because survivors have sixteen in total. Make the argument that it would shake up the gameplay drastically. Although just giving both sides more options would do that. Survivors could also make more interesting builds with another perk slot.

    I dont say survivers shouldn't get something too i just say there should be change in the meta and someting new and fresh should be addet to the game so it dosent feel the same from 8 years.The only new big ingame mechanics they added (without counting perks and new charachters) are the endgame collapse and brakeble walls.Endgame collapse was great ,but breakeble walls was an uslles addition to the game ,sarvivors need new items from the ones 8 years ago and a new meta-changing,game-changing mechanic should be added like more perk slots for sarvivor and killers to be balaneced ,but something news needed this game needs new interesting content ,and dont say killers will be overbuffet if i wrote that sarvivors should get something too to balance the changes.I know some people like the game what is it now ,I too like it but I really thing new game-changhing content should be added.

    I don't see the need for an extra perk slot for Killers, considering that Killer perks are inherently different from survivor perks and are already designed to be powerful enough. The argument on old perks is good, but for changing them. It doesn't necessarily imply that Killers should have an additional perk slot. Implementing such a system could lead to every Killer using a top-tier perk in that slot consistently, and I don't believe the game needs that.

    Killers really just want it all, don't they? Gotta get that full 4k 100% of the time by any means, camping, tunneling, slugging and now y'all want a 5th perk, too?

    It's a well-known fact that M1 Killer currently has a disadvantage against survivors, but that doesn't mean it should be solved with a perk. The main reason is due to poor bad map design.

    For the killer, if the opponent is a survivor who is ignorant of the map, it will be easy to give one hit and the chase time will be greatly shortened, but if not, it will always waste a certain amount of time until the survivor goes down, which will complete the 5gen. Since these promise that for survivors if not making some of mistakes.

    Average survivor main.Do you even saw what i wrote and what you angry about every single game i dont see a single survivor running no meta perks i try new and funny builds with not top tier killers and what i see is swety teams of survivors running only meta and tea bagging all game every game.Every sorvivor is complainning about tunneling and camping but see killers complaining abot gen rushing,tea bagging,second chance perks and other broken meta perks.Of course if killers are doing everyting they can to win is unfair but if sarvivors are doing everything the can to win it is fair.Sorvivors thinking only for their side of the gameplay.Yes there is some killer players tunneling and camping on 5 gens and that is unfair but if there game isn't going well they will of course do what they can to win.

    Obviously not talking bout *all* killers but a lot of you do act even more entitled than survivors. You specifically said "if killers had a 5th perk slot". Just killers?

    And all survivors ask for is a fair match. Having all 4 escape isn't an expectation but killers expect a full 4k.

    Bro if you saw what i wrote you shoul know i said sarvivors must get something in return to and sarvivor asking only for a fair match is a compite bullshit every sarvivor just makes his own rules on what a fair mach is and in the end it is never fair for them and who says every killer exepcts a 4k i am always happy with 2 or 3 kills like many other players.
