BHVR, Please Show your Killer some Love

Fun Facts about the Unknown

• Unknown has one of the longest cooldowns in the game, notably longer than Nurse, Blight and Ghoul AFTER they have expended all their tokens.
• Unknowns cooldown is 7 seconds, with a 1 second charge time. While survivors only have to stare at the Unknown for 10 seconds to remove their weakened. This means you have roughly a 2 second window in a lot of cases to lineup and fire a shot.
• Unknown is one of two killers with no addons to improve the lethality of his power (the other being the Xenomorph). No cooldown addons, no addons to improve the speed of the projectile, no addons to show auras, no addons to increase the time it takes to remove weakened, nothing...but you know what he does have?
• Two addons that give you small advantages if you hit them DIRECTLY with the UVX projectile. Funny enough, hitting them directly is arguably harder than hitting them with the explosion and does not apply weakened but you know what you do get? Two extra seconds of hinder on the survivor while your movement speed recovers from shooting, exhausting the survivor and another 7 second cooldown...thanks. Why do those exist?
• Unknown has one of, if not the slowest projectiles in the game, thus hitting long range shots can prove rather troublesome if the survivors see you for even a second. He also can't look down so running into the killer is the best strategy thus making him a mediocre short and middle range option as well.
• Unknowns power is infection based, much like Plague, Nemesis, Wesker, Singularity, Krasue and Vecna the Second First of his Name. With these killers you have to find an item on the map and use it to rid yourself of the infection, or interact with a world object (in Plague's case this powers her up). With Unknown...look at him. You don't even have to be in chase to rid yourself of this. This makes one of if not his best addon Captured by the Dark (applies weakened to all survivors) completely countered by survivors finding you at any point. And unless survivors are holding hands, you'll be lucky to get more than one injury if they spawn near enough to each other.
• Alternative ways to apply weakened? File not found, oh wait, Vanishing Box applies weakened to all survivors who complete a gen. However, it has been nerfed so many times it's an active detriment to use.
• Did I mention for some ungodly reason survivors get a 1.5 second buffer to staring the Unknown down. Which means the weakened will still dissipate for 1.5 seconds after losing line of sight.

Unknown is a really fun but eternally frustrating killer that needs a lot of love. Giving him a more forgiving cooldown would be a nice start however, more is needed. Alternative ways to apply weakened, an addon pass, some benefit to hitting a survivor directly with the UVX (and no, the "hinder" doesn't count), A FASTER PROJECTILE FOR THE LOVE OF THE ENTITY! A better system than looking at the killer to remove weakened because for all the work the Unknown puts in, having to just look at him to remove it is a buzzkill. Unknown should be able to look down, running directly at the killer should not be the best counterplay to a killer. And so much more
