Afk Crow rework
The most frustrating thing in the game as a solo que survivor is when you get paired with a survivor who does nothing all game.
So I propose a new idea (probably wont ever come to light) the afk crow rework instead of staying in a locker or standing for a long period of time. A crows will instantly spawn when a survivor who hasn't done a objective for 180 seconds notifying the killer of their position.
The timer will reset if a survivor do gens (even if its taped), sabotage, getting chase, running for 10 second, saving a survivor, and cleansing a totem. The crow itseld will restet after 20 seconds of doing one of these objectives.
Maybe the timer could slow if the survivor within the killer terror radius and within a hook survivor radius.
What do you think?

That just seems like an unnecessary nerf to stealth. The AFK crow gets the actual AFK people, I don't see the problem.

Not touching gens for 3 minutes isn't "stealth", that's a crime and you should know as a solo queue player.

It could still get afk players but punish those who dont do anything in the game keeping all survivors active keeping stealth alive

Well this sounds fine in theory but there are 5 gen runners out there. If they don’t touch a gen then they’re going to end up with 3 crows which give the killer a notification to where they are constantly. Thus meaning say goodbye to any mind games you try to pull as survivor and would get pretty annoying for the killer if they kept receiving the notifications. Maybe there needs to be another condition to your suggestion? Like if they’re in a chase they don’t get crows either.
Edit: just now realised you included chasing in your list! Apologies.

He said it resets in chase

This’ll get abused in pre-EGC.

There are other conditions such as getting chase unhooking sabotage cleansing and running for 10 seconds

Some time ago I made a long post about how to change the AFK crows mechanic ( https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/107256/noise-indicator-crows-change-suggestion ), but for some reason the post was moved by mods in the feedback section, hence noone ever read it :P.
Give it a look.

There were really good idea in your old post on the forums, but seemed a bit to strict. Now I'm now wondering if this post will be moved.

I think you should get out of yellow ranks before proposing things that would hurt others instead of help them.

It's not yellow ranks i see this it in red ranks but its probably in the purple, yellow, and gray ranks.

it was meant to be a change to promote dynamic play style and killer-survivor interaction, plus to avoid a stale mate in 2v1 situations, or even 3v1 with stealthy low ranked survivor. It's really a different concept of the crows: instead of afk crows they become effortless crows or something like that :P.
When I play as survivor I like as well to be stealth, but not at the expense of the game progression.
