Controversial opinion: Keys are not as bad as moris

I personally do not think keys are as bad as moris. Moris allow killers to kill a survivor after they have been hooked once. This allows killers to get easy kills without requiring much skill or patience. Keys, however, require survivors to search across the entire map in order to find a hatch to escape from. During this time, a killer could successfully kill said survivor or, if the exit gates have been opened or the hatch has previously been shut, the entity to kill the survivor itself. Hatches leave no indicator when closed and you can easily miss it. Sure you can bring offerings that increase the chances of the hatch spawning in a certain place but the killer can also see this offering and just as easily camp it. These offerings do not always work and the hatch could spawn in another location. Hatches also have specific requirements to be able to spawn in. The number of completed gens have to accede the number of living survivors (e.g. 5 gens done but 4 survivors remaining will spawn the hatch in).Hatches will also shut after 30 seconds of being opened by a survivor. Keys require a lot more work to be able to escape with than moris require to get an easy 4k.

    It's not controversial. Nothing in this game is as powerful as moris. Imagine a perk that let a surv to escape if he finish 2 gen. That's the surv version of a mori.

    Even if they do require more thought the use, the thing that makes both of them bad is it cuts the game short unfairly for the other players. A survivor can end the game with one gen left and still get a three escape, and unless the Killer is right on them, they can't do anything, similarly to how a Survivor can't do anything against a hard-tunneling killer with a Mori. They are both unfair and terrible. Neither of them should be in the game.

    It's not like it matters, both of them are getting reworked eventually. But yes, you are right, Mori's are worse.

    Keys are bad when another survivor is running a map item and its SWF there is no skill required they are just as bad as mori's both need reowrk. Solo survivor and keys are ok tho i understand this.

    Agreed. The two are not even comparable.

    Yeah I can see why people compare them because they both essentially give a shortcut to a game, but moris are much much stronger and easier to use in the right hands.

    why is it so hard to just admit that both are BS?
