Idea possible Solution

This involves the topic of Gen speed and Keys, i may have come up with a reasonable change that could fix several game health issues.

Well for starters the EGC has changed how most mechanics and strategy for KiIler/Survivor, and i think it could receive a few tweaks. The EGC starts the moment an exit gate is open or the hatch is closed, what if it started after the 5th Gen was completed or the hatch is closed, the time it takes to open a gate will need to be extended as well. This is to rush the Survivors out. (no grieving or Lolly gagging)

The Killer now has more incentive to pressure the gates. The EGC has a few seconds reduced to ensure the tension is high to encourage a final decision on the next play. The Survivors have ample time to leave the map now. I also think the hatch should automatically open after the 5th Gen but the killer can always see where the hatch is, basically a third possible exit but with a twist only one can leave through the hatch it will close afterwards. The killer can see the hatch's aura so when EGC starts by Gens the Killer will have to decide to either close the hatch first or pressure the gates. This could void keys because only one person can go in the hatch and it will open the same time as the Gens are done. The different perks that activate will be active a little sooner, no big change there. The Survivors should be awarded more for exiting, while the killer gets a small bonus for late sacrifices.

I think this change could even make some weak killers stronger for examples: Pig and Trapper would possibly benefit the most if they strategically used their powers efficiently, maybe the Hag in certain situations.

I hope that even through the small chance that you finished reading this it would spark an even better idea that considers balance and longevity for DBD and the entire community.
