Killer Mains: What do you miss the most?

Was it a perk that used to be different, stronger or weaker? Was it a killer that got buffed, nerfed or changed? Was it a addon that used to be stronger, weaker, or different? A change to base game killer gameplay? Or was it something else?

    Not really a main of one thing or another but the BP multiplier on BBQ&Chili, was just all around good to have in the game for so many different reasons.

    Old Terror Radius on some Killers. I wish there was an option to hear the old Terror Radius and Chase Music, I liked it more on e.g. Billy and Doctor.

    Maps being darker and having more cover for my Trapper traps.

    Old Haddonfield. I know most killers hated it but as Trapper there was so much ground cover which gave me alot of different spots where I could put traps. The fences by houses where survivors would like to loop would also be great spots for traps because there wasn't enough room for survivors to avoid the traps.

    Old Eruption. I know it's going to be an unpopular choice, but knocking a survivor off a gen for 20 seconds was often game clutching.

    I'm on PS5 for context. When I didn't have to play against PC/Epic. My biggest desire for this game is console only crossplay

    Old map aesthetics (new moon bouquet stay gone).

    They just really knew what they were doing with the watercolor-style art combined with choice lighting accents & fog. Like the lighting especially is really important and is something they could bring back if they really wanted to. I do like the decor/object placement work they've done with main buildings recently but man…

    I'm not a killer main, but I play killer. I used to play killer more, but it's really tapered off over the years. Probably in large part because I miss my BP perks: Distressing, Beast of Prey, and BBQ. There have been changes to killers that caused me to drop those killers, but in the end it's the loss of the BP boosts on perks that I miss the most and probably did the most damage to my desire to play killer.

    Oh yes, please. I want console-only cross-play. The game performs worse on console than on PC, BHVR can't change that it's part of console life, but if it's console player vs console player it's not as bad. We can't turn cross-play off because if we do we don't get matches at all.

    Normally, console players pay more for a worse experience but at least get to avoid the cheaters on PC. In DbD, console players pay more and get all the negatives with none of the benefits. We get worse performance and have to go against PC players with better fps and M&KB and have to play with cheaters. Matches on PS4 were more enjoyable before cross-play, and whether or not that's because of cross-play is impossible to say because we can't turn the damn thing off.

    There have been times when Switch had problems and was removed from cross-play, so we could only play with other Switch players, and those matches were so much more fun. Occasionally I wish Switch would have another game-breaking issue that got us removed from cross-play so I could experience that again and see if it's still a better experience.

    I miss where When I Played a new Killer and people didn't DC as soon as they see me because they don't like my Killer choice.

    The go Nexted Epidemic was so painful to play through for not only Killer Exprience of learning a new Killer but also survivors trying to learn how to play against the new Killer.

    Yes it was free Kills but I like playing against Survivors who actually try to win
