Prestige Idea
hello all!
today i would like to take a look at a topic many have already given up on: Prestige
as we all know, once a character reaches level 50, you will gain the ability to increase your Bloodlevel of said character, gain a special prestige cosmetic (the normal skin in bloody) and reset that character to level 1. you will also gain a minimal chance for better items in your bloodweb, but thats rarely noticable.
in short: prestiging is completely useless, unless you want these bloody cosmetics.
so i came up with an idea that would actually give prestige a meaning and that would probaply get more people to prestige their characters:
in your loadout screen you now have a new option. this option will contain 3 slots and you unlock a slot for each prestige level you get.
the slots let you select Items / Add Ons / Offerings, which will then be guaranteed to appear in your next Bloodweb (the selected things will be saved so you dont need to select them anew with each Bloodweb you complete).
Where these Items / Add Ons / Offerings appear in the Bloodweb stays random though - it just guarantees you that one of these spawns.
also, the way the 3 slots work is different for each slot.
Slot 1 (Prestige 1) will allow you to select any Item / Add On / Offering with a rarity of uncommon (yellow) or below.
Slot 2 (Prestige 2) will allow you to select any Item / Add On / Offering with a rarity of rare (green) or below.
Slot 3 (Prestige 3) will allow you to select any Item / Add On / Offering with a rarity of very rare (purple) or below.
you will be able to select the same item up to 3 times, which will make said item appear 3 times in your next bloodweb.
i have excluded Ultra Rare (red) Items / Add Ons / Offerings, as those are quite gamechanging and it would be a little too strong to, lets say, roll a Skeleton Key or Ebony Mori every single Bloodweb.
i think this would be a great solution to encourage players to prestige characters, while also allowing killers that are very Add On dependent (such as Trapper) to get the Add Ons they need to play their games.
please share your thoughts on this idea!
would you consider prestiging your characters with this? or would you still find it to be useless?
i would appreciate your feedback!
oh and rework / remove Dull Keys already. they are waaay too strong for a very rare Item. there shouldnt be any key in existance that can open the hatch without being ultra rare.

Oh god, purple flashlight and the killer's (usually) strongest addons almost everygame.
Thats kind of the point: The cosmetics show how many points you've put into a character.
Moris and keys are common enough just because they are one of the few ultra rare items/offerings you can get. There is already technically an increased chance to get better addons and stuff when prestiging, so it's not that big a change already...
Although that would mean they'd have to actually balance addons for killers and survivors. Most killer iridescent addons aren't that strong to be honest, and the ones that do would be prioritized...
Overall I don't see any issues with this except on the survivor side.
