Anyone else feel like blood warden could be updated?

Ever since the EGC was added blood warden has suffered for it. Not to say it's terrible, it's amazing when it works. But when it works is highly situational, and reliant on survivors making the mistake of staying in the match too long.

If blood warden were to be reworked or buffed, what would want to happen? Personally I believe it should be reworked. The idea i came up with requires the killer to earn the effect without relying on overconfident survivors to activate it.

(this is simply a suggestion off of the top of my head, this is just me spit-balling an idea to get the ball rolling on other suggestions.)

Any survivor who is has been hooked twice prior to the EGC starting will be blocked from exiting for 45 seconds. Any survivor who enters the exit gate area when BW is active, will have their auras revealed for 6 seconds.

    I would like it to trigger regardless if gates are open.

    Would stop that 99% gates.

    It should just activate the second the gates are open if you've hooked somebody after the gens are finished, as opposed to needing to hook someone once a gate is open.

    Um ya out of the 3 Freddy perks this is the one that needs re-worked? Sure why not but FU (lol) and RE much more in need. I still use FU on certain killers with brutal for fun but def needs help.

    Yes or why not make it so it automatically puts any survivor who tries to leave through the exit gate into dying state?

    I think should stay the way it is, but have it decay the gate progress. That way it forces people to open the gate.

    I think that's the best possible option for an addon to the current perk. Since people like to 99 the gates a lot, which I still don't think should be able to happen and them staying at 99.

    You realize some killers use it to kill all the arrogant survivors who stay behind. They wait till the EGC is low enough before hooking a slugged player. The time left in the EGC is less than the effect of Blood Warden, so anyone in the game from the point of the hook is dead, it's just a matter of time now. Having it activated at the beginning of the EGC would negate that. Unless there was a way to buff it so it would remain in effect for the whole EGC... hmmm.

    Yes I agree I actually made a buff to this perk to make it very good. Here’s my buffs

    when a survivor is opening the exit gate there aura is revealed to you. When the exit gate opens the perk activates and any survivor near the gates have there aura revealed.

    when hooking a survivor while blood warden is active will block both exit gates for 40/50/60 seconds. Hooking a survivor while the gates are blocked will pause the timer until they get unhooked

    Better if you have the perk the first surv that touches a door automatically is killed. Better this way?

    A lot of things could be updated besides this one perk though, I feel like it is fine as it is right now.
