Can we please make Kindred basekit?
This perk needs to be base. Killers should also receive a base aura reading perk. What would be a fair perk for Killers if Survivors got Kindred?

The thing with adding perks as basekit is, that it totally dilutes the perk variety, as you can keep your cake while eating it. Most peeps are too hung up on clinging to the four strongest, most meta perks, or the small group of 6-8 meta perks, considering everything else as "garbage", as it isn't universally applicable and they don't get value out of that perks each and every game. But then some of this off-meta perks offer some nice QOL or just useful and fun abilities and peeps cry for making them basekit. As a general rule, if you deem a perk useful enough that you might want it to become basekit ... well, you could just equip it! Its that simple.
There is ONE exeption: I am strongly advocating to give killers a BBQ sort of aura reading as basekit. Most peeps totally underestimated the effect of old BBQ: every killer had it equipped for the blood points, but the aura reading showed oppertunities and peeled the killer off the hook. It promoted a much healthier playstyle then modern DBDs, so I would propose this as basekit:
"the killer earns +25% BP each time a survivor is hooked for the first time, but the counter only increases if all four survivors are still in the game. Upon hooking a survivor, the killer is shown the aura of a non-hooked survivor who is more then 24m away".
