Another take on the Clown type killer
Soooooooooo, within this game, we have many perks that help in tracking someone. But little in finding unharmed, crouching survivors. There are some things for this, BUT, they are all counterable in some way or another. Spies in the Shadows can be over written through calm spirit and by just not walking by birds. And Predator......well the problem with that one is no one uses it. Bloodhound requires a successful hit on someone.
This killer will have a mostly uncounterable finding ability. So here's my killer:
This is a clown killer. It's been suggested before but hear me out por favor. He's going to be a very sad and mopey clown. He'll kinda drag his feet and let his unused arm just hang around. I think it'd be cool if he was super sad looking, and then let out an extremely happy cackle right as he lands a hit on a survivor. And while carrying a survivor he'd just having an unending stream of laughter. I'm not sure what weapon he'd use. Maybe a Bowling pin? OH! a mallet, duh.
His ability would be this: He carries a balloon attached to a very large tack. Think of The Joker's giant spike he tries to shake people's hands with. The clown would be able to spike this tack into a survivor's back, bringing the balloon along. Now this isn't some short balloon. Imagine it's like a 10 foot long string or so. He could stab the balloon into someone with Right Click. BUT, this wouldn't cause an instance of damage. Just apply the balloon. This would be a bright red balloon that just lingers high above a survivor now.
And now this survivor may be able to hide and juke you, but YO, you got a big ol balloon on your back, I got yo number dog. The balloon would follow this survivor around. It would lead out of a closet if you were hiding in one. It would follow you through windows, pallets, exit gates. This balloon and you, oooooh man, you're best friends. Until another survivor rips it out of course.
I'm just tired of these redundant tracking perks, THERES SO MANY THINGS FOR TRACKING. THERES BLOOD, SCRATCH MARKS, LOUD PAINFUL GRUNTS, NOISES FROM ANYTHING LOUD THAT YOU CAN SEE, SPIES FROM THE SHADOWS, BLOODHOUND, PREDATOR, STRIDOR, and I bet there's more but I'm forgetting some or I'm stupid. Prob the latter. This killer would allow people to kinda multitask as well. People would be more afraid to tank a hit from this friendly clown because he might not hit you, he might just stick a tack in you and leave you for later and keep chasing the guy he's already wounded.
HIS PERKS DUN DUN DUUUUUUUU: I'm not too sure really. Easy name : Coulrophobia, After popping a generator, the survivors are compelled to laugh the next time they see the clown for a short duration. Look at this idiot (This one sounds stupid and goes against my redundant tracking perks thing)
Rollercoaster of Emotions: The clowns shifting mood between sad and happy changes his terror radius in sudden moments. When landing a hit on a survivor, his terror radius spikes to be a significantly larger radius than normal. This effect lasts for X seconds after the hit.
What's my job?: If the clown is caught farming points with a survivor he is instantly fire and dies on the spot. Sorry I can't think of a third help me out here.
Problems and weaknesses: The INDOORS! Obviously if this clown guy is inside and you're in some building, his balloon is kinda useless in a way. Maybe not though? Since his balloon makes it so you WANT to be inside, restricting your movement. Help from others: Survivors can directly help you against this guy. They can pull that tack out of your back. Although, since you're not actually injured, empathy will not be effective with this. Perhaps the clown could bait the ballooned guy by waiting on someone to help him. You have to find the survivor first. Look, as much as I wanted to make this just and INSTANT find somebody ability, that goes against the point of the game. It's basically Hide and Seek with a killer. If he can just see you, it's not very fun. A delay after tacking someone, similar to landing a hit. I'm not too sure how many balloons the clown should have. One? Two? And what about when it gets ripped out of someone? Does he have to go pick it up? Yes, he does.
Please feel free to add to this killer. I'd just like one killer to play when I'm like, " ya know, I don't feel like finding people today"
Oh well. That's my dumb idea, Have a Nice day and remember to complain about those exploits so they get fixed faster amirite?
