How to fix Killer from a Killer Main's perspective.
So there's a lot of insane things that have been happening with killers for a long time, the balancing is a bit of a mess and that's due to the bottle necking of stronger killers. It always has been and always will be, this issue affects both killers and survivors equally. It's beyond frustrating to go against a Nurse with aura reading perks because how can you predict what she's doing thus aura reading can't be good simply because of the Nurse, this might be mildly frustrating for survivor but it's far worse for the killer side. Simply because Nurse is good with Aura reading that means killers now have NO decent options for aura reading perks, Otz darva said a while ago that BBQ and chillie could be 45 seconds and most killers wouldn't be overpowered by this affect and I'm inclined to agree.
Aura reading, screams, blood lust, gen regression, ect ect is all horribly nerfed into oblivion because a small minority of killers benefit from them far too much. It's honestly horrible for game variety and overall fun. I don't think the game can continue to keep this horrible direction without strangling itself more than it's already strangled itself!
I know the coding situation for behaviour is hard, idk anything about coding but just by the way the game struggles some updates I wouldn't dream of yelling at them to rework every system. I have a very simple and honestly easy solution, not sure how easy it would be for coding but I think it would probably be easier than completely changing a killer.
Individual killers require nerfs not the entire game requires nerfs to suit individual killers. My proposal is mandatory perks.
Mandatory perks would be next to the killer power or next to the perks slots themselves, these mandatory perks are applied by the developers and cannot be taken off. They're perks so that it's easier to understand with the language and culture of the game.
——————————————————————————————-
Example for the nurse as a mandatory perk.
- Overstimulated Aura Reading: All Aura reading effects are capped at 4 seconds maximum, there is no way to bypass or extend aura reading past this ammount. If a perk has it's aura reading longer than 4 seconds it will be affected.

Not only could this help the rest of the DBD killer roster but it could even be turned around into a positive perk set for weaker killers.
——————————————————————————————-
Example for the Trapper as a mandatory perk.
- Shark like instincts: Blood lust activation is 100% faster, instead of it taking 15 seconds for tier one to activate it only takes 7.5, tier 2 is 12.5 and tier 3 is 17.5 seconds.
——————————————————————————————-
This way M1 Killers could potentially share these mandatory perks and be given the buffs they desperately need without ######### over other killers and making it insane for survivors. You could put these mandatory perks on multiple killers or put as many/combine as many as you like! It would help endlessly for the balance of the game since we already know the devs can make perks and tweak perks pretty quickly and effectively.
As long as they were basically their own perk system that can be modified and changed by only the devs that would make the ecosystem of killer much better.
