The Reaper (Killer Concept, with Perks and Add-Ons)

Why, of course! Basically, my idea behind The Reaper's gameplay is making him a reverse Nurse. While Nurse can go through the walls by blinking, but then needs to hit the target quickly, because then she's slowed and has to wait for fatigue, The Reaper goes through the walls by phasing, yet cannot attack immediately and has to wait for 1.5 seconds for the Ghost Form to end.

Ghost Form can be used on many maps to deny Survivor any loop. It's also worth noticing that Ghost Form could be deactivated right after activating, beginning the countdown of 1.5 seconds while the ability to phase through is still present. That could win the time, catching a Survivor off guard with regaining the ability to attack right after phasing through the wall.

I've tried to keep my concept as ballanced as I could, but, of course, the end result would depend on the ballance team. I've planned Hex: Inevitable End to be a reverse Hex: No One Escapes Death, and put the small Movement Speed penalty purely for the sake of the perk having different ranks.

There is a problem combining those two perks together though. First, you would need enough Dull Totems for that. And considering just how fast the Survivors run through the gens these days, I doubt clensing the Dull Totems would be that difficult for them when they begin to expect the Killer to run both of those Hexes. Also, a lot of Killers run Hex: Ruin, which already takes one of totems away. And finally, taking both Hex: Inevitable End and Hex: No One Escapes Death means that you're using 2 perk slots for something that won't even do anything until the End Game, making your early and mid game much weaker.

As for the cooldown, I've mentioned that when the countdown of 1.5 for ending the Ghost Form begins, the Power Gauge is not being consumed. You could choose to end the Ghost Form while still phasing through the walls and since it'll be active for 1.5 more seconds, you could save time and catch a Survivor by surprise with how quick you retain your ability to attack after just phasing through the object and denying them their loop.

Well, that's the whole point. I've designed Mark of Death that way specifically for it to have possible counter-plays. That would make it good in the hands of an experienced player, but terrible in the hands of those who would use it carelessly.

The point of that Power is this: you could hook a Survivor close to the Exit Gates, use Mark of Death on them and then go chase the other one on the other part of the map. Usually, in that situation, one of the Survivors would open the Exit Gates next to the hooked Survivor, unhook them and have them both escape. But since the Survivor is marked, there are two possible scenarios. One: they condemn themselves by walking into the Exit Gates zone and having The Reaper down them instantly (if The Reaper players is good enough to react immediately to the sudden teleport). Two: they spend time healing before walking into the Exit Gates zone, which ensures their survival.

But if they decide to heal, they'll have to spend quite some time doing so, especially if Eternal Rest perk or anything else that gives an Action Speed penalty on Healing is active. In that time, the Killer could already return to check on them.

Even more so, chasing the marked injured Survivor to the Exit Gates makes it almost impossible for them to survive. If The Reaper uses the lunge attack at them and misses, it could trick them into believing that they have enough time to escape while the Killer's attack is recovering, but Mark of Death cancels any animation The Reaper is locked in, including recovery. If the Survivor enters the Exit Gates zone in that scenario, they would practically condemn themselves. But a clever Survivor could try and outplay The Reaper in that situation by using Dead Hard!

Of course, there is a case of Borrowed Time or Insta-heal, but it's okay to have something that could counter that power. Most importantly, that power could provide some epic hatch catches.

Besides, why assume that all 4 Survivors would be alive by the time the Exit Gates are powered?

The hatch grab is no longer a thing? Well, it appears, I'm not exactly up to date with the current meta! If so, I'm going to change the Mark of Death the way you can grab the marked Survivor out of the Hatch!

As for what you're saying about SWF, well... if the Exit Gates are open and all 4 Survivors are still alive, that means you're most likely losing 1 rank point as a Killer. So, I don't really see the point of considering the inability of Mark of Death to magically turn the obvious lose into a win a problem.

Mark of Death would show it's full potential when there are no more than 3 Survivors left for the End Game. Just imagine hooking and marking a Survivor just as the last generator is finished, then downing the other one on the other side of the map while not having to worry about the one you hooked even if the 3rd Survivor opens the gates and unhooks them. In that situation 1 Survivor is busy hanging on the hook, 1 Survivor is busy running away from you, and that leaves only 1 Survivor to open the gates and unhook the marked Survivor. And you could have Hex: Inevitable End on top of that all!

So, you down that other Survivor that you're chasing, the gates open, then you activate Blood Warden while the one who opened the gates helps the marked Survivor to heal faster so they could escape. The game is far from over, my dear SWF comp!

I'm not trying to say that it's the best Power a Killer could have, but I would like it to be tested on PBE or something before making any changes to it. I definitely don't want to bring something imballanced to the game. Instead, my intention is to bring something that would be highly rewarding to those who can master it.

The Reaper's pressure related to gens can come from perks. What if Tolling Bell perk gets combined with Bitter Murmurs? Of course, there's always Hex: Ruin, Corrupt Intervention, Thrilling Tremors.

But you're correct. The Reaper's strong side is not the gen pressure, but the power to deny the loops, and a player would have to play around that aspect, mastering Ghost Form and trying to get as many downs as fast as possible.

Whispers can do a lot to help locating the Survivors, also don't forget about the Add-Ons. Necronomicon gives The Reaper almost cheating powers in chasing a Survivor around the loop. And Pocket Watch could be used to slow down the gen (or any other) progress while you're using Ghost Form for a loop shortcut on the Survivor you're chasing.

I've adjusted a couple of things about Mark of Death and reworked Grim Sickle Add-On. Check those out~!

Evry killer has their strengths and weaknesses. If there was a Killer without any weakness and with absolutely no counter-play... well, that would be simply unfair, would it not? Some Killers put a lot of pressure on the group of Sirvivors, causing them to spread out. The others have a huge map pressure due to their mobility. There are those who have the tricks to end the chase quicker. But no Killer is allowed to be good at everything at once. And to compensate for that, the Killers find their unique combo of Perks and Add-Ons, maximizing their chances of success.

And Survivors can find the Perks that are especially efficient against certain Killers. Like the Object of Obsession is effective against The Ghost Face.

The way The Reaper is designed will make him more efficient on the certain maps. "The Game" map, for example, because he could use his main power to change floors on the fly without having to use the stairs. Allowing him to teleport to the marked Survivor at any time would be practically like allowing him to cheat, since it would be like camping without losing points while also being able to do anything in the mean time.
