We need either more secret offerings for both sides, or the current ones to no longer be secret
For 'secret' offerings, most of them are quite useless besides Memento Moris. The Shrouds available to one side almost always benefits the other side instead as the Shroud of Union (Survivor) helps the Killer by spawning all Survivors close to each other instead of on separate generators, and the Shroud of Separation (Killer) helps the Survivors by spawning them far away from each other which likely lands them straight on generators.
Killers have no reason to use Shrouds, so a Memento Mori is guaranteed to be the secret offering when it doesn't flip in the pre-game screen. The only mystery is whether it's an Ivory or Ebony Mori, since the Cypress is generally useless unless you get stupidly lucky.
Knowing about the current disconnection pandemic that is plaguing the game, and has been for months, as well as the fix to 3-or-less man games, this can even prevent games from happening entirely as a Survivor may pull the plug in the loading screen and cause the entire game to cancel, wasting everyone's time because they don't want to get killed by the Killer - whose entire job by the way is to kill - instead being eaten by the eldritch hook demon.
We could either make more secret offerings for both sides, or even turn some non-secret offerings into secret offerings, or make all offerings open and non-secret.
The best candidates for 'make more offerings secret' is map offerings. Make all of them into secret offerings. There are some maps where Survivors are likely to disconnect as soon as they see it because they don't want to play the map, such as The Game, and making the offering secret could help to prevent pre-game disconnections. Black and White Wards as well so Survivors aren't basically being told the Killer is possibly running ultra-rares.
I think making more offerings secret would be much better than making no offerings secret at all; Survivors knowing that the Killer is taking an Ebony Memento Mori could cause more problems than just making more secret offerings will fix.
What does the community think about this?

I like the idea of Black and White Wards being Secret, it tells everyone else that what you have is worth your life and that's a life worth taking ASAP. In Killers' case it would be different of course.
I think the Cypress Mori should be in the Base Kit because it's rarely used and not really viable.
As far as more Secret Offerings what if there was an offering that added a second basement, that would be a real game changer and worth making Secret.
I was thinking the could make BP offerings that are personal secret, too. That way someone won't see someone else's Cake and think it's for them for instance.
Definitely needs more secret offerings, or better yet just remove the offering screen from the game altogether, it serves no purpose except to telegraph moris.
Secret map offerings won't help, there is no difference between a pre-game DC and an in-game DC at this point other than in-game DCs are slightly more annoying.
They need to fix in-game DCs somehow or this is just trying to address symptoms but not the cause.
