so an idea for keys.

Everyone knows keys and Moris are a problem in the game now. People want them gone, but I feel like they can be rebalanced to be fair. I've just thought of an idea that is. In my opinion, fair for both sides.

Let's start with broken keys: I am feeling that they should have a purpose besides looking like keys. My idea is that they can open the hatch now, but it only let's 1 person jump in before closing, but it is permanently opened until either a survivor jumps in. Or the killer closes it. Kinda like how the yellow mori lets you kill the last survivor, even if they haven't been hooked. If a survivor jumps in, EGC doesn't start.

Now, each key should have an "opening animation" that consumes the key once the animation is finished. Keys should have a 4/7/10 second opening time for each tier (red 4; purple 7; green 10). This way, survivors can't just sit there and t-bag at the killer, they need to open it first.

*the hatch will now spawn at least 40 meters from the doors, but not more than 50 meters.* if the hatch is closed by the killer, a chest will spawn randomly on the map. This chest will always contain a green key, with a 10% chance being a purple key, and a 2% chance of getting a red key. This way, there will always be a chance that the survivor can escape. The killer can still get the last survivor, and it would still be in their favor, but they can't let their guard down yet. (The * area is an optional idea).

What do you guys think of my idea?

I am not including moris in this. I know they are broken, and should be fixed in this same idea of a patch, but I'd how I would fix moris in an idea like this. I need more time for that one.

    How to balance keys: Change when the hatch spawns. Make it Gens = # Of Living Survivors + 2. Hatch always spawns when all 5 gens are complete or 3 survivors are dead.

    So 4 survivors? 5 gens done to spawn the hatch

    3 survivors? 5 gens done to spawn the hatch

    2 survivors? 4 gens done to spawn the hatch

    1 survivor? Hatch spawns regardless of how many gens are complete.
