Should new killers not be spoiled by public PTB?

By the time Trickster comes out in another couple of weeks, the excitement and suprise of going against him, plus his ability, perks, tactics and everything about him is already conscious to the people that have played him already and/or watch streams.

My opinion is, wouldn't it be cooler and way more exciting of killers didn't have a public PTB so streamers can't spoil them a month in advance, instead, all testing is done behind closed doors.

Imagine the excitement of joining a game on release day, to face a killer you have absolutely no idea what it is or what it can do.

Slightly unfeasible and probably wishful thinking. But still would be pretty neat imo.

  • No because they couldn't have a testing/balance period. I wouldn't want to go against PTB twins on the live servers.

  • When Freddy first released there was no PTB. When he came out survivors said he was op. Killer's said he was weak. Devs nerfed him. A week goes by and survivors learned how to play against him. Then Freddy was the weakest killer in the game for over 2 years before his rework.

    So no, I don't think it would be better if killer's did not have a PTB. This lets BHVR test them before they release and survivors get a sense of what to expect from the new killer. So we don't have another Freddy incident.
