Why not add a luck of the draw perk Or a russian roulette perk
Luck of the draw being a perk that would pick any out of the existing perk pool (even perks you don't own) while also potentially picking "nerf perks" that you can't get through normal gameplay ( ie it could give you a free botany knowledge/bbq n chilli , or it could give you a no mither with no benefits/No aura reading for a round etc) though maybe adding in "bonus" nerfing perks would be a bit of a stretch.
You could make it a default perk (Accessible to any killer or survivor) and have it go completely RNG. Hell you could even make 4 variants of the perk/ the ability to be selected multiple times, giving the ability to have a completely randomized load out. Or you could make the perk slot act as a random offering even, giving moris to killers randomly, or just changing the map, hell maybe even a bloody party streamer.
As a completely different idea, rather then having a randomized loadout at the start of the match, why not have a Russian roulette perk, which swaps itself every 30s to another perk? (keeping tokens towards a perks progress if it has them, but swapping it out until it potentially if your lucky swaps back in.) This could be interesting, as one moment you could have MoM, Then the next whoops suddenly you have no mither! Or on killers side, one moment you have Ruin, the next distressing or insidious. Hell why not go the extra mile and have the ability to have a randomized loadout every 30s with the russian roulette perk. for killer it would mean addons swapping in and out with a chance based on rarity, and all 4 perks being randomized every 30s. for survivor, just have their perks and maybe the item swap in and out (all ways losing the item on escape)
Could be an interesting concept at least.

Why not have loadouts or AKA presets? You can have 3 loadouts/presets (yes, you can name them) and you have the option to have the game pick 4 perks that you already unlock from your Bloodweb. How does that sound?
Example:
Loadout 1: Farmville
Plunder's Instinct
Ace In The Hole
Borrowed Time
We're Going To Live Forever
Loadout 2: Tunnel Me
No Mither
Object of Obsession
Decisive Strike
Dead Hard
Loadout 3: Random Perk
Resilience
Open Handed
Technician
Alert
Loadouts you could save would be a great quality of life addition for sure.
I'd sort of like an in-game "randomize perks" button as well, even though I doubt that many people would use that ๐
