Please overhaul Power Descriptions
Honestly, so many Power Descriptions are just missing vital part of the power or are inaccurate or are terrible formated. Here are a few examples.
NOTE: I am aware powers can't mention every single detail. So I will only mention details that I think would be important to someone new to the game.
- Feral Frenzy (Legion) doesn't mention being unable to see scratch marks while Frenzying.
- Afterpiece Tonic (Clown) still claims inpaired Vision for Survivor while under the effect of the pink bottle, even tho that was removed months ago. It also doesn't mention the bottle count.
- Of the Abyss (Demogorgon) doesn't mention that Portals are a limited resource you can only have a certain amount of placed at a time, neither does it mention that Shred can break pallets.
- Blight Corruption (Blight) also doesn't mention that an attack from Lethal Rush can break pallets.
- The Twins power description (don't know the name, see below) doesn't state that Victor can be crushed after successful pounce attacking a Survivor who is already injured. It misleading claims he can only be crushed after a missed Pounce attack.
- Showstopper (Trickster) doesn't mention the reduced movement speed during the knive throw.
- The Onryo's power claims that a Survivor is only affected by Condemned if the Onryo teleports near them and "The power bar is full" condemned is applied. I have no idea what "power bar" they are refering to. Teleporting to a nearby TV always inflicts condemned. I know at the start there is a bar for TVs to turn on, but you can't project to a TV without that anyway, so why mention it as an additional restriction in the "Condemned" part of her description, instead of the "projection" section.
- Virulent Bond (Mastermind) claims "Each first aid spray has a set number of charges." Now this is technically true, but they always have 2 charges, so why say it as if it was a varying number?
- The Knights power doesn't mention that summoning a new guard despawns the previous guard.
- Eyes in the Sky (Skull Merchant) doesn't mention that placing a drone makes you undetectable.
- Playtime's Over (The Good Guy) still claims that Scamper is available while in Hidey-Ho Mode, while it is actually only available during Slice and Dice.
- The power description of the Lich does not mention Mimics. Furthermore, it claims the Eye of Vecna only hides the Survivors aura, no mention of the Invisibility.
- Vampiric Shift (Dark Lord) does not mention that pounce is actually two attacks in a row, nor that it can break pallets.
Because of how long they are, the top of the Doctor's, the Nightmare's, the Onryo's, the Xenomorph's, the Lich's and the Pig's power description reach out of the top of my screen. Futhermore the header is cut off from the Power Description with the Shape, the Ghost face, the Pyramid Head, and the Twins.
The formating is also really inconsistent. Sometimes its in like quick Bullet Points, like the Hag, meanwhile other times they write everything out, like the Trapper.
More importantly tho, tons of killers have actual issues with their power description. With ever character and map DBD adds, it already becomes a little less newby friendly. But currently new players can't even trust ingame descriptions of killer powers. Please take a moment to rewrite and reformat each killers power description to make them more uniform, clear and actually match what they do ingame.
This is quick and easy to do, and means people are less reliant on outside resources, which are already a pain due to often being inaccurate or outdated.

This this this!! Completely agree! Powers being off the screen is crazy

Agreed, these could benefit from updates and also a few older killers still have very old descriptions with extremely limited information that (unlike newer ones) don't explain anything about how to control the power (look at Huntress, Hag, and Nurse to see what I mean by this). I believe Hag's also doesn't say anything about trap wiping.

Yeah its so annoying that the description is so long you cant even see the full description and yet it leaves out the most important things about that characters power.

When you literally can't find out how Unknowns Hindered last for in game, it just says applies hindered lol

So many hindered things in the game (addons too) do this where they don't even tell you the slowdown percentage and it's extremely annoying lol. All the haste stuff gives an exact percentage, why can't hindered too?
