Incentivize people to play different killers

Whether it's offering bonus bloodpoints for lesser-played killers, some type of priority queue if people choose to pick a certain killer… I don't know. But going against the same four-ish killers over and over again is monotonous and makes the game boring as hell.

Has anything ever been tried to incentivize more variety in who people choose to play?

    there used to be daily challenges that were random, such as play huntress but to be honest people want to play killers they can win with. no amount of BP will get people to play killers they are not used to playing with to then get swf squads followed by abuse after the match "baby killer" "EZ" "learn to play"

    they only real incentive to play different killers is to even them out so its not such a drastic change in tier, like ghoul, nurse and blight v trapper, wraith and rework myers. The tier difference is too much for people to actually want to play weaker killers.

    I am willing to play most killers for 100k….

    Their 10k quests are not enough to even open the menu.

    buff the low tiers to dark lord level and you'll have variety

  • This. Make more of the roster better, more fun and more viable to play in modern DBD and we'll see more variety.

  • i think its a very bad idea cause it will make people play killers they don't like just for blood points, its just better to make those killers stronger and more fun so people play them more but thats alotta work but blood points cannot fix everything

  • Yes pls, the constant stream of ghouls, blights and nurses is rly making me not want to play anymore… I want some variation. Buff all those other killers or incentivize them to be played.

    I don't even blame anyone for only wanting to play those killers, cause survivors became a friggin sweaty bunch in the last year for sure (inclu myself with over 60% escape rates). Gens are done at crazy speeds, the only way to keep up is highly mobile killers.
