New Chapter Killer BP Incentives
Don’t know if it’s been brought up / discussed before, but I’m wondering if it would be something that could be good for the game?
After playing 50 matches against The Ghoul back to back since release, it’s got my wondering what if there was an incentive to ready up a match as an existing killer?
I’ve been really hype for the chapter, don’t get me wrong, but I think it’s quickly dimmed by the repetition and over-exposure.
I know the hype will die down eventually, and the variation in killer pools will go back to normal, but it really does get old quick - just think something when on a temporary basis for the 1st week of release may be a good thing?
What do you guys think?

Well, you gotta learn how to use the new killer, right? the only way to do so is by playing it...

That is true, I got my P9, adept and trophies after 3 matches though 👀

the only solution is play 2 weeks after a new dlc if you don't want to see new content. However, if a killer becomes unpopular then you may miss out on some field research.
I can't find enough Vecnas to save my life. I want to keep practicing against him so I don't get rusty but they are a rare breed now. Unknown too.

I play Vecna from time to time. Fun killer to play as, so maybe you'll run into me sometime

It probably is not a good idea to incentivize people not playing content that they literally just bought. It will feel really bad.

I'm of split mind on this idea. On the one hand, people just bought the killer and will want to play them, of course. Trying to persuade someone not to play with the shiny new toy they just got probably isn't going to be effective.
On the other, if they just offering a bonus where there wouldn't otherwise be one at all probably wouldn't hurt. it probably wouldn't help much (if at all), though.
I'd rather just see a bigger incentive to play survivor, like the 400% from 2v8. I know it wouldn't change a ton, but I know I am playing surv right now even though I bought the Kaneki (and the Rize skin) because it allows me to stock him up without contributing to the Ghoul-jam on the killer side. And that's mostly due to the 150% BP incentive.
Such an incentive to play other killers would probably draw some killer mains to play them instead, but it wouldn't help with the other byproduct of new killer saturation, which are the killer queue times.

Maybe they could do this for every low pickrate killer every midchapter, focusing on killers that are never played. The issue would be that people wouldn't want to face Hag, Artist and Twins because of the incentives…
Edit: Also, the best incentive to play a killer is changes, even minor ones. Killer which are never changed get boring with time.

i got adept in the first match lol still leveling it up, even tho none of his perks are even close to be remotely good...

Killer prevention system. Please.
Playing against just one killer for last 5 days makes me drained.

would kill queue times probably

Definitely speaks to how busted as a killer he is - horrible perks, but I got my adept on 1st attempt too (the other 2 matches were for the other trophies).
I’ve been playing for 7 years and I can safely say I’ve never got this bored of killer variety before. Definitely showing no signs of improving anytime soon. Worried it’s going to ruin the event for me because I honestly can’t face playing survivor at the moment.-2 -
You suggest surviviors to stop playing for 2 weeks instead? Like they do now? Which kills queues too, I want to remind you.
I would love for that reason killer prevention system that doesn't let you play against same killer twice in a row, but every other game.

I’m hoping that the revamped dailies might feed into this. I do think they try to sway people into playing killers they don’t often with them.
When I play killer, I tend to pick a random one (unless it’s challenge specific from the tomes) I want the survivors to have some variety and I’d rather have a more difficult / fun match myself. Honestly don’t know how anyone can play the same killer back to back

wrong
I get always 4K with no perks in my first 3 matches of every killer. First match perkless and without addons, to learn how to it plays. Second match without addons still, but with some perks that could play nicely, and 3rd match with addons and the build I'll probably use for that killer for the rest of my life.
This time i just changed from no perks to just the basic ones because they are trash, so i'm probably going to change my method from now on to: no perks → adept → final build

daylies need a rework badly. Not only changing from BP to shards, but also making them more varied and fun.
