Both Afton and the Unknown excite me the most. I've ALWAYS wanted there to be an ingame incentive to use cameras to prevent him from being/getting strong(er). Add on some basekit buffs, Will'll be set.
And to see the Harmless become… Harmful… Fingers crossed the buffs are sizable because oh boy they need it.

I'm so overjoyed to see Unknown on there
I'm concerned about Doctor though, he has always been a more problematic killer at various points of DBD (accessibility issues)
I hope its just to do with his chase and not like the skill check side, I have a friend with Nystagmus who really struggles with him when we play against him. I'm sure it's just the chase though.-1 -
Wesker, I'd like a third dash for both mobility and a less punishing miss, and for him to make a quicker recovery after dashing. His mobility is kinda crap and I've barely touched him in six months in favor of more enjoyable killers. The teenagers with knives and the alcoholic clown shouldn't be faster than the superhuman.
Dredge, I'd like to see better locker spawn (not really a buff, just QoL) and maybe a removal of locks on lockers. Springtrap can go through doors, unknown can strategically place clones, Sadako can spam teleport to TVs with better RNG not just to move around, but to get basically free kills against less experiemced players, yet Dredge has a cooldown, bad RNG, and the locks. I'd also like an add-on pass. He has only three I ever use. He's rough against skilled players who know the counters and aren't afraid of Nightfall.
I used to play Doctor. Idk what I'd want for him tbh. He's very reliant on cheesy skill check builds for most players.

Id like formsurvivors not to be able to do stuff while getting electrocuted, thank you.
I doubt we get any substantial buffs either way. Its most likely gonna be these nothingburger +/- 0 addon passes which dint buff the max power of the killer.
The top killers wouldnt be"too strong compared to the other killers" if the devs actually made the weaker ones stronger.

Agreed on the two I always wanted Springtraps Cameras to be more then what it is currently and Unknown to be also Harmful lol

gotta love my shock being useless bc a survivor 'queued" an action aka pressing space takes prio over the shock)

Agreed I hope they give unknown less cooldown time on UVK and to Remove the Buffer on cleansing Weakened.
Doctor idk what they could do without make him more miserable to face

I'm cautious about the unknown because in the past we've nerfed his only useful addons and made his least interesting addon partially basekit.
springtrap is the most fun killer to face so I hope that doesn't change. I love the cameras a lot I really feel like playing fnaf when I verse animatronic.

Overdrive for Bubba's chainsaw.

Yeah I hope they don't make Springtrap unbearable. He is one of the few killers I consistently enjoy playing against. I'm always worried they'll make a killer I either play or like playing against hated.

Oh dear god

Sadly my killer's are not on there :(
I am still interested to see what they did.

Unknwon: 4s cooldown - his cooldown is too slow for the current fast pace the game is right now; 12s Weakened duration - so we can have more time to align a shot; a 0.75s buffer for dispelling weakened; being able to shot down.
This is my personal, but i believe that Unknown could refresh weakened for 5s after a M1 hit, so survivors don't throw themselves on you to avoid the M2 - forcing the killer to always fake to get a hit instead of trying a shot. (BOOOORING gameplay)
If all of this come, maybe his Iri addon could be reworked - teleports hits are boring and shouldn't be incentivized.

These killers make sence like many of them need some buffs to basekit power because without certain addons their power isnt that good like bubba,ghostface and doctor. Demo needs buffs for teleport, dreadge kinda would be coold if he was better in nightfall but Idk what they mean for him and wesker will most likely get most minor buffs but still good thing I would expect some part of golden egg basekit and some buff to people that are fully infected like bigger hinder effect.
Uknown needs some buff like lower cooldown or longer uvx effect because of how limited and harmless he is with his power.
I just hope these are needed buffs and not just some trade offs like with xeno.

I hope Unknown will get not just Addon Changes. He seriously needs a buff. He requires alot of perks and Addons to make his Kit work. He also needs a huge bug fix treatment so he can be a A tier killer after so long
Yes this is a Unknown main saying this.

I would be for it but judging this buffs I dont think he will get something like that because that would be rework, he will more likely get speed buff because now he is trash without beast marks and maybe something else.

Im excited to see what changes come to Springtrap.

They must really hate our Poster Boy.

demo buffs have me cheering but cautiously.

The last time they buffed a low tier they gave skull merchant a couple small buffs with a compensatory nerf after pushing back the rework they've promised after gutting her to intentionally be worse than trapper for a year because they were scared of upping the dc penalty. My hopes are slim.

Kinda looking forword to demogorgon. Hes always been an interesting character that i felt too weak using, like i cant even pull off that instant pounce thing most of his current players do.
And unknown i got into at one point started to enjoy it, got pretty good with the aim, and then hit that mmr where you just get into a mosh pit and you can't just play the same way for fun anymore. Then he felt too easy to counter.
Any yea i was enjoying skull merchant till the berf, i hate the new stealth activation lol.
The dredge is another one i often feel helpless on. Id of probably mained him at one point if i didn't feel so miserable using them most of the time lol so buffs will be interesting to see.

I'll give special attention to DREDGE, but first, the others:
Of the other 7 listed, Ghostface is a frankly weak killer. There are killers like Legion that immediately wound a Survivor, meaning they can be one-shot. Ghostface, who has to build up a vulnerability stage and spend time doing so to one-shot a Survivor, and the stage can also end, plus its ability to easily disable, is, in my opinion, one of the weakest killers, so I'm happy with any buff.
Unknown, animatronic - Killers are honestly not strong, although they could have had potential, so I'm also happy with a buff.
Cannibal is countered by lockers and windows, which is normal, so the buff is welcome.
Demogorgon - Everyone was expecting an upgrade. He's a cool mid-range hero, but he still needs a buff, and people have been waiting for this for a long time. I think he needs a slight boost, especially with the dash addon. If you don't charge the dash enough, you don't reach the target, but if you charge it enough, the survivor has time to jump out a window or run behind a texture, or the survivor is still far away. I'd slightly increase his dash range in both variations, maybe 1-2 meters would be enough.
Doctor - I hope they don't change him too much; he's cool as is, but like Demogorgon, he needs some buffs.DREDGE - He's a dormant imba! Either experienced players are showing off their skills with this killer; he's a strong killer! Or there are 90-95% of people who don't understand how to play this killer and how his abilities work, don't use his second ability, "leftover," and often complain about the placement of lockers, which are currently plentiful on the map and aren't his primary ability, which few people understand.
I love DREDGE, and I really want his mechanics to remain intact. He's interesting and loved for who he is, unique as he is, so I'm afraid of changes! I hope they don't change his mechanics, but rather just add minor buffs, maybe even add-ons. If that's the case, I'll be happy. Otherwise, if they change his primary ability, many Dredge fans might be disappointed with the changes. We love him the way he is.0 -
I am mostly excited for the Unknown and Doctor Buffs. Unknown in particular, because I never thought that they are a bad Killer, but they are just too unforgiving for what you achieve. You have a margin of 1 seconds to injure someone with your power before they get rid of the weakened status, this is just too low. I think they were way too conservative with that.

I hope doctors illusions will move, shock and try to attack survivors to bambuzle them

I hope og doctor schizo comes back lol... gave me anxiety to play againts doc...

Yeah I always wanted Doctors illusions to be animated rather then just standing still

Given that they specify the buffs are "small tweaks", I'm fairly sure that none of the changes will be game-changing.
My guess is that they will get various minor cooldown reductions or trigger reductions (shorter cooldown and faster activation when applicable) and that the biggest change will be them giving back some of the stuff they took from Wesker recently (as a mod said they were working on).
Small tweaks usually aren't game-changing power adjustments, no new animation or anything like that.
They gotta be careful when messing with Bubba, we don't need changes accidentally making him even better at camping.
Unknown really does need some love, or at least some QOL changes.
Doctor could use some help... but leave the skillchecks part alone, he needs chase help.
Demo puppy needs some help. He's a decent Killer, arguably among the most "average" in the game, but it's a bit easy to neutralize half of his power.
