Exit gate / End game collapse change?

Exit gates should slowly decrease in progress if it is not fully open. This way survivors cannot 99 the exit gates to prevent the EGC. 99'ing exit gates fully defeats the purpose of having the EGC. This makes blood warden a lot more viable again. This also makes the end game way more thrilling since the EGC can actually make the game more difficult.

    The purpose of the EGC is to force survivors out once the gates are open. If they've 99ed the gates, you can force this as the killer just by opening them yourself. If you believe that 1% doesn't make a difference to the survivors, then surely it shouldn't make a difference to you either.

    Particularly if you have Blood Warden, it's often a good idea to open a gate yourself to activate it, instead of leaving it to the survivors, because the vast majority will not run out as soon as a gate is opened, but will stick around in the safe area to buy time for their teammates.

    Just because something is counterable doesn't mean it needs to be buffed, or the counter nerfed. Neither survivors nor killers are entirely satisfied with the whole endgame setup, which is how we know it's probably balanced as it is.
