Please add an FOV slider already
I cannot stand playing many killers without shadow born, it makes me motion sick and I hate having to use a perk slot on it.
This is an accessibility issue, not a balance one.

As FoV is a commodity that increases your visual info, it certainly is a balance issue.
If they add in a FoV slider, the max setting will be the current FoV anyway.
How does FOV help with motion sickness?
Wouldn't that argument apply to every other game that has an FOV slider?
It's an accessibility option locked behind a perk slot, you shouldn't be required to run a perk just to access higher FOV.
No, because not every other game values visual information as a commodity.
This game festures stealth in a competitive context. Hiding close by is a large component of the game and whether or not your opponent can see you has to be consistent.
Earning greater FoV costs you a perk slot, because a greater FoV is an advantage.
Increasing FOV does not have a significant impact on stealth, if someone is sneaking and especially not moving/using dark clothes you are unlikely to notice them in your peripheral vision unless you're going out of your way to search around at which point you are likely actively searching for someone hiding at which point you will literally see better by turning your camera rather than your eyes.
Yes you might notice someone you wouldn't have otherwise, but that's pretty rare.
If you think shadowborn helps prevent sneaking more than something like whispers you are out of your mind.
