The biggest sticking point would be animations it can't avoid needing to have. Things like window vaults, pickup and hooking animations, stuff like that. It'd also need to be roughly humanoid in shape/size, I think, for similar reasons.
Though, BHVR have been inventive within those limitations before, so I still think it's possible. Hell, we had Demogorgon for a while, and that's definitely more monstrous than the average human.

They could always do body horror stuff with it. Like the spider one can have a human look for the legs and lower torso. But spider legs for arms with a monstrous spider face/head. Could have spider legs coming out of its back to dangle the human legs like Nurses while the spider ones actually move the body

BHVR had stats that track addons. They can see what addons are used the most and how much those addons increase or decrease a killers killrate. the most obvious example of when they used this was when they nerfed Marvins Blood.
So, why are Blindness addons still a thing. people do not use blindness addons. i have never used a single blindness addon on any killer in about four years of playing mostly killer. so why does BHVR commit to making GREEN rarity addons apply this useless status affect. even with blindness hiding the hud actions now, that change is nowhere near the rework or buff people have been requesting for this useless status for years.

Skull Merchant, Knight, Mastermind, Dredge, Onyro, Artist. The last six killers have lost an addon slot to this status effect. It being on Purple and Green rarity addons is a ######### joke

I feel like blindness could affect a lot more than just the hud and hooks. Mainly due to most being applied in chase. Which if you’re being chased then you don’t care about your teammate at that moment

Usually on a killer that I don't care about the addons, but still...
I'll take Blindness over the ineffective Oblivious any day.

Oblivious is good on some killers. Our Resident Well Living Ghost gets good value out of it.

Hey you used it as a last hope for some points for yourself. Don’t feel bad, options ran low and you were dealing with an uncertainty. I’m sure they would understand if they were in your position.

Goodluck out there Killer.

I am trying to help a friend of mine who doesnt have any killers unlocked just the base game killers. so no call of brine, dead locked, eruption, etc. meta perks are available to him.
As a survivor he has access to a variety of good basic survivor builds and has played that role more.

It’s a stretch but Doctor with Overcharge, Lightborn, Monitor and Abuse, and lastly Fearmongler.

Lightborn for flashes and Information.

Overcharge for Gen Regression

Monitor and Abuse for getting the jump on people and better FOV

Fearmongler is good if you come up on a injured survivor working a gen, can counter Dead Hard and Sprint Burst if timed tight.

in the Shrine I do suggest getting Lethal Pursuer. It will be available soon I believe due to the event. Replace Fearmongler with that and run Order add-ons with Control add-ons. Will give you a lot of information to work with

EDIT: Oh, and Merciless Storm will be there too, get that and replace Monitor with it. Docs passive makes MS very good.

This was how I found out. Hopefully it’s not a big deal in the long run.

When you get someone tunneled out fast it's of course always the most effective. But it is insane how many killer i see which are the opinion it is always smart to tunnel the first person out which you downed fast. Just because this person kissed the floor really quick that doesn't mean that this survivor is not good. You have to realise how the down happened. Maybe this surv simply had no real chance at this spot. I have a lot of games where killer downed someone fast and after it they lost the last gen because this killer drived crazy and don't wanted to stop. and he chased on a place where no gens were to protect. I mean nurse and blight is a complete different thing but in general you should not tunnel always.

If I find two survivors and I know that one is on death hook? That’s the one I want out, because if I go after the other one I’m not guaranteed a kill in the end. Know if I’m coming up on the unhooked survivor I’ll hit them then chase the rescuer. I rather have that one forced to mend and heal than just heal.

in High MMR killer mains were right, Tunneling is a must to win games as killer(save for Nurse/Blight) Comment by Witchubtet February 25, 2023

I think the issue with Boons is that they can be replaced and don’t have a limiter on them. If it worked like “If the Boon is snuffed you can’t reactivate it for 120 seconds” then it would be perfectly fine.

Taking this idea from another thread, partially using ideas suggested by @Witchubtet for Territorial Imperative.
I thought about it and may have a solid idea for a rework of T.I. that stays true to its premise. It adds two features, one is just a bit of Hangman's Trick, but the second may be the clincher:
Scourge Hook: Territorial Imperative
* The Aura of a Survivor entering the Basement or moving within 2/4/6 meters of any Scourge Hook when you are at least 32 meters away is revealed to you for 3 seconds.
* Hooking 2 different Survivors on a Scourge Hook gains 1 token
** At any normal hook, consume 1 token to convert it into a Scourge Hook, deactivating an already active Scourge Hook elsewhere in the Trial, chosen at random.
Don't take the numbers too seriously. I'm using Hangman's Trick's distance for the Scourge Hook aura read. I figured keeping the cooldown might be too much. Not sure if the tiers should be the aura distance or the number of Survivors hooked, but I'm inclined to keep it at the distance. The core idea is it offers a way around one of the core issues with Scourge Hooks - the RNG of their placement. You could still get screwed by RNG depending on what Scourge(s) deactivate, but it gives you more control than you have.
Also, since we're on Huntress perks, here's an idea I've had for a while now and once previously posted for Hex: Huntress' Lullaby. It basically flips Huntress Lullaby and gives it Thrill of the Hunt rules.
Hex: Huntress Lullaby
Start with 5 Tokens, 1 for each Totem remaining in the environment. While Hex: Huntress Lullaby is active the time between the warning sound and any healing and repair skill checks is shortened, depending on the number of tokens.
** 5 Tokens: disables the Warning sound.
** 4 Tokens: shortens the time between the Warning sound and the Skill check by -56 %.
** 3 Tokens: shortens the time between the Warning sound and the Skill check by -42 %.
** 2 Tokens: shortens the time between the Warning sound and the Skill check by -28 %.
** 1 Token: shortens the time between the Warning sound and the Skill check by -14 %.
Survivors receive a 2/4/6% Regression penalty on Failed Skill Checks for Repair and Healing actions.
The Hex effects persist until its Hex Totem is cleansed.
The idea is to turn Huntress Lullaby into an early game perk rather than a ramp-up perk. The Thrill of the Hunt token system is to keep it from being the kind of beginner trap that caused OG Hex: Ruin to be reworked by allowing for the ability to reduce its effect for any totems removed from the trial, rather than just the specific Hex. Again, don't take the numbers too seriously, I"m just using the existing ones while knowing there could be room for tweaking
Not sure what to with Beast of Prey yet, though the simplest thing might be "the Undetectable Effect lingers for so many seconds after Bloodlust is lost."

Now we just need to figure out how to get Beast of Prey to be decent. Most Beasts try to tire out their prey as they chase them… perhaps an exhaustion applying perk? I wouldn’t know what would cause it but it could help against the current Metas.

Honestly i think the best approach to the Endurance stacking would have been to introduce a different health state for freshly unhooked survivors. So that OTR still is effective after the freshly unhooked survivor gets hit. But without requiring 5 hits to down him.
On regard of DH, i think that something needs to change. Because lets face it, any killer perk with that pick rate would have been nerfed into oblivion after just a few months. DH however seems to be immune to this approach. Is it more balanced now than before? Absolutely. But the meta shake up missed its target in the regard that survivors should also use other perks.
So with DH being in a pretty good spot, the only option i see (without nerfing DH into oblivion) is to buff other Exhaustion perks to make them more appealing.

I do believe in your statement but I would like to add that if they also buffed the exhausted giving killer perks a little more maybe it can even itself out.
