Add a "set up mode" for killers.
Some killers waste too much time setting up traps (Trapper,Hag) DURING the trial.
And hex totem's spawns sometimes are...welI...bad.
so how about adding a "set up" mode for killers where they can choose where to place totems (HEX) and traps (for Trapper and Hag)
This mode would start before a match begins (right after the loading screen) and would last 1 minute .
"The killer" (in this 1 minute) becomes the entity and can go through objects/buildings .
The entity moves at 170% movement speed (numbers can be tweaked,obviously)
After this "set up" the trial starts normally.
Now,you might be wondering...
What survivors do/see in this 1 minute?
Ehh,Idk xD
If I had to throw an idea...
While the killer is in "set up " mode, the survivors are inside a "practice building" where they can throw down pallets,practice with Jungle Jyms , try perks they brought in the trial,ecc...
Thoughts? :D

This idea isn't new, but that's not a problem.
The problem is that you just gave away that you set stuff up.
This would be a dead giveaway.
Plus it's also more waiting time, which in general is meh.
I said that it gives it away twice, lol.
Editing still not possible.
I think giving 20 seconds for totem placement is fine, but as far as setting up hag and trapper traps... Those kinda come with the territory for those killers.
hag is rly good as it is, and trapper should start with all his traps. also, I'd prefer not to see people place all their hexes near each other with thrill of the hunt
If they went with something like this I honestly wouldn't mind that much, but every killer should have set up period if there running - certain perks (is hex or corrupt intervention, things map related), though I also would want more of an objective then just "practice jungle gyms" as that honestly would get boring after a while. I'd shorten the time to 30s/45s and give trapper (not hag as she has this and also doesn't need any buffs truly) access to all his traps, and any not placed get placed in default random spawn spots. The problem with this idea however is that it would be a dead giveaway of the killer. Being able to select totem spots would be cool though.
Another idea that could work with it being attached to perhaps a map editior (for trap related killers though mainly trapper) is giving him the ability to set up maps exactly how he wants prior to entering them in a "map loadout maker." He picks the loops out of select tiles that spawn, whilst also having the ability to have his traps auto spawn in loops and locations he selects. Also give him an addon to have all his traps open at the start of the match. He gains the ability to elect the loops he wants to run. Your in his trap, his world now.
I'd be down for a setup time but you'd have to give survivors something to do in this short timeframe. Also give killers something to do if they don't have certain builds that way it's consistent and doesn't give away the fact that it's a certain killer or they're running certain perks.
Whoo a 20 second head start to get to a high point in the center of the map so you can see the survivors immediately when they start. No thanks.
