Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Gatekeeper emblem is so stupid

4k 1 gen left. They tried to rush gens (unhooking a few seconds before phase 2 and doing gens before + gen tapping to stop the regression)

Its okay for me if games are short, but gatekeeper emblem gives you points for each gen in the first 9 minutes...

GAMES DONT LAST THAT LONG!

Its so dumb as always.

If you sweat as killer you get punished.

Survivors escape in 4 minutes? they can even hook farm without a problem because DS unbreakable and BT are a thing. Good Gen rush survivors get the points AFTER they won. They get chases and heals because killers are in desperate need to get some points for a black pip.

But if killers rush and do their objective good they get punished.

Killers need to slow the game down for the survivors if they do well. Survivors dont.

I play both sides but the things you can do as a survivor are unbelievable.

Hook trading should reward the killer...

Situation:

Im on the hook, bill saves me WITH THE KILLER BEING NEXT TO HIM:

he gets a hit, i get unhooked he gets a second hit. Killer could chase me but

A: that wouldnt be nice and many red rank killers play extremely fair.

B: I have Borrowed time active and a chase would last long + meta build is DS unbreakable so bill could get himself up.

So He decides to hook the bill and not tunnel me.

But guess what the game allowes me to do? I can run to the hook get hit, BT still active, unhook the bill with BT myself and the killer got nothing.

Why? because Both bill and i have DS. I have unbreakable so i cant be let on the ground.

He eats the DS and again I can loop.

Was that a good play by me? Hell no it was dumb! Got the killer rewarded? Nope. No ones on the hook anymore, no pressure what so ever and the other two people can do gens with ease.

This situation in an Endgame scenario is just rediculous.

Because of these types of play survivors can make Gatekeeper emblems are super hard to get. you have to deal with super dumb perks on every survivor and while you get punished for doing your job the other survivors just sit at gens and destroy your emblem.

    The Emblem system isn't really the best for Killer, but it works for Survivor. Before the Emblems were introduced, Survivors and Killers had two different ranking systems, the so-called Victory Cube for Killers and the Bloodpoint System for Survivors. The Victory Cube system relied solely on how many kills and hooks the Killer got, which is also not the best. However, I feel like it worked a bit better than the Emblem system.

    Games go faster now and you have to find ways of dealing with it. Ranking up as Killer is generally more difficult than ranking up as a Survivor, and I guess it's supposed to be this way.
