Do you lose add-ons in custom matches?
I tried out the bots last night and they’re fun! Not as good as a good human player but they still managed to get some gens done when I tried the Knight against them. One thing I wasn’t sure about but didn’t test, if you use an add-on or offering in a custom match is used up afterward or do you get to keep it?

How are the custom match bots looking so far?
Everybody has understandably been talking about The Knight since his power is so unusual and potentially really interesting, but personally I’m interested in how good or bad the custom match survivor bots are. I saw one or two games with them and at a glance they seemed decent? 🤷♂️ It’s hard to tell but they actually were…

How often do killers miss basic attacks?
One thing I’ve always been curious about but don’t have a good way to track without the game actually providing the stats is how often do killers at various MMR brackets miss attacks? Obviously the higher rated the killer the less likely they are to miss a given swing, but I always get the sense that on average players…

Awakened Awareness' duration is still being extended two seconds by Lethal Pursuer
Recently Awakened Awareness was tweaked so that it only shows auras while carrying someone.

Official kill rate stats from the devs
FYI The devs just posted an updated official kill rate summary for all killers below Some random off the cuff thoughts The two charts represent all games across all players and games involving killers in the top 5% of MMR (which is probably basically the people over the MMR soft cap of about 1600). So in a really rough…

Any chance you could show the same kill rate chart using data from April before the rework?

Use upcoming custom match bot pathing algorithm to calculate hook distances?

Show survivors perk icons under their name or avatar in the lobby?
I was just thinking about how one of the benefits of being in a swf is knowing what perks your friends are running. So maybe one way to help solo survivors out would be to show the icons of the perks all the survivors are using in the lobby to the survivor side (not the killer side obviously). That a solo survivor has more…

Deja Vu and Kindred icons are too similar
Just a very quick request but if you could redo either the Deja Vu or Kindred icons that would be a nice touch. They're just way too similar looking.
