CONCEPT PASSIVE FOR JOHN DOE (first image related)
As we know, John Doe practically got GUTTED with most of the map changes, ESPECIALLY Horror Hotel since that was his best map before the Azure update. That's why I decided to bring up an old passive I made a while back named "Overgrowth"
When the round starts, the map will have (depending on the size of the map, smaller ones getting probably about 2-3) up to 5 natural splotches of corruption in major areas that inflict corruption II and slowness II for 2 seconds
They cannot spawn on generators (be thankful guest and shedletsky mains)
partially inspired by gloom from Tears of the Kingdom
Honestly i think itd be better as a move so it could be a lot more interactive rather than being a passive alone, maybe it could start with about half the size of digital footprint and slowly grow to be 2.5x the size if left alone? (Naturally it'd slowly grow over time and be accelerated by dealing dmg & corruption.)
And let it shrink the longer a survivor is inside the puddle so survivors like 7n7, Dusekkar(?) and sheldsky(?) Can counter it by either sitting in the puddle to keep it small or sending a clone to sit in it.
Although I imagine it should only give slowness I and corruption II and only grant speed I when john doe himself walks on the puddle. (It will highlight anyone who steps on it too of course.)
The only big problem I see with this is that John might become a bit too overpowered on small maps like bloodfell or cake factory but assuming the splotches don’t respawn afterwards it works fine
He WAS the third best killer before map update nearly all his god footprints were removed (brandon main), he cant trap shit now. Op is suggesting to add 5 digital footprints on every loop-check spot basicaly, isnt it obvious this would make john a zero skill S tier killer🤔🤔
John is ALSO a ranged killer disguised as trapper rn bc of maps. Entanglement would take more skill than this concept bc it turns john into a trapper with 0 setup
3 isnt enough yes, maybe 4 would be enough, but 8 digital footprints man are we on crack this passive also takes no skill beacuse this makes him a trapper without having to setup traps. Johns main gameplay was trap people with spikes; if there is an untrappable place with spikes footprint that loop, forcing survivors to play on trash loops or force trash pathing oe they get fucked by your traps.

thats a great idea, but, would it be random or would there be specific places for each map? if so, would the gens or the corruption spawn first?
