Survivors unhooking in front of killers are the worst... I agree we need a no don't do that emote or a get away from me emote or a stop lollygagging and get busy emote for survivors...
Likewise killers need emotes for when survivors are being annoyingly unreasonable with a 4 flashlight swf team
Maybe give everyone a throw tomatos emote for when others are generally being douchtastic sports and a throw roses emote when others are being fantastic sports. Plus you gotta have the cliche universal giving the bird.... but instead of animated gesture, players would throw a little bird at others that makes the duck quack censorship for bad words sound when it hits. This should be hilarious enough to take opponent toxicity out of the equation most of the time, and likely motivate some very funny bird wars. 🐦
Plausible but we are going to lose the horror game essence, where the characters are fighting for their lives.

Devs said they would never put "Fortnite esque dance emotes" in Dead by Daylight.
Probably for the best. That sounds wildly out of character for Dead by Daylight, and as much as people on the forums love to joke about that stuff (IE Shirtless Myers) that would probably never fly due to the license holders.
I mean- in order to do something like that, I'd assume you'd have to get every single license holder to agree to that? Since it would be a killer wide input that affects all killers that they would all be able to do. I don't see that happening anytime soon, or really anytime at all.
You also have to think about what that means for Dead By Daylight's brand and image, regardless of what the community thinks, the Dead By Daylight Brand takes it's horror aesthetic very seriously (proof of this can be found in nearly every single trailer or DBD production for commercial / advertised use on Youtube and other media platforms), and that's appealing for new players looking for a horror-themed game / horror-themed party game. It's also appealing to potential future partners with Dead by Daylight, who see a horror game filled to the brim with recognizable slashing icons who have been faithfully recreated alongside a multitude of well written, interesting, and unique original characters. I can scarcely imagine what the license holders for The Xenomorph, Candyman, Pennywise, The Predator, The Thing, etc. would think if they saw killers could "victory dance" on top of a corpse that they just murdered via memento mori. I hardly imagine the license holders for Myers, Freddy, Pinhead, Leatherface, etc. would have appreciated that either.
(Although yes, I acknowledge that Resident Evil & Stranger Things happen to be in Fortnite which is emote city x10, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they represent the interests of every license holder that has made partnerships with DBD and I think that's a reasonable inference to make.)
Hilarious for the internet, great for memes if people want to make their own SFM or that kind of thing, probably not good for the game's public image.
Plus, I think the limited amount of expression killers have access to is funny in its own right. Simple things like the slow turn around or a head nod wouldn't be nearly as funny in the past if we already had super elaborate emotes from the very beginning. Killers have made the best with what they've got and I think that's fine.
I would never ever want to have fornite style dance in dbd (killer or survivor) it will lose it's essence of being a horror game, that why I said that the emote should be only after a survivor got hooked so it won't be spammed and it should be within the "killer's personality" so license won't be a problem. I don't want to see a nemesis dancing, this is the kind of emote I want to see (https://youtu.be/TBHjhB-kCow?t=116) The Iconic S.T.A.R.S Growl of nemesis.
And I agree with the other comment that we could at least put this on compendiums and reward them after completing all quests or after prestige III of the killer.

Killer emotes yes, but not so much the victory dance. This would just intensify toxicity. But it is unfair survivors can teabag while killers cant... maybe give killers the bird emote but I think victory dance would be too much
Yes, not like a victory dance but a celebratory emote which match the killers personalities like
Plague - will do a prayer while chanting "Addanika Dingir Asapu",
Clown - will do a hysterical laugh while flipping his knife then lick it. (coz he is a sick fok)
Demagorgon - will do a screech (of course)
Oni - Will do a battle cry
And many more.

As countless people have said in the past, this killer just gets destroyed by SWF.
Every killer gets destroyed by swf (if played correctly) this idea is just for fun :D and not all of your games will have 3 to 4 swf.
