Replace Dracula's dog ability in Dead by Daylight


Replace Dracula's dog ability in Dead by Daylight
The Issue
Dead by Daylight is supposed to be a fun and enriching game that offers multiplayer compatibility to be able to play with friends and strangers in a 1v4 or 2v8 setting. However, with the addition of a certain killer, Dracula, killer mains have begun to grow more toxic.
For example, in almost every match queued for, while playing the game and running from killers in chase scenes, after being down, there is a good 1 in 3 chance that the killer will take it upon themselves to "hump" your character, these chances notably go up if the killer is Dracula, wherein Dracula players will switch into their dog form in order to do so, which is disgusting.
Our goal is to have the developers of Dead by Daylight remove Dracula's dog form and replace it with a different Castlevania inpsired ability in order to stop this disgusting behavior that seems to impact almost every game queued against Dracula as the killer.
The possibilities for a replacement ability are endless. The dog ability could be replaced with an ability based off blood pacts, where injuring a survivor places a blood seal on them, and their blood pools are darker. Once downed, Dracula gains an increase in speed for pallet breaking, vaulting, and movement until the downed character bleeds out or is healed out of the downed state. Adding an option to remove this blood seal would be a great idea, as well.
Another idea would be an ability that can darken the map for a specific amount of time, where while the map is dark, survivors outside of the terror radius suffer generator and healing speed decrease, and survivors inside the terror radius scream upon entering.
These are only ideas for abilities that could replace the dog ability, so that killers still have fun playing, but it is less disgusting for survivor mains when toxic killer mains queue as Dracula.
Please sign this petition if you agree that Dracula's, or The Dark Lord's, dog ability should be removed and replaced!
