New rules about the hatch

My suggestion is simple: killer can close the hatch, but another spawns in a different point of the map after 60 seconds!

    Killers closing the hatch has been in the PTB it's just a matter of waiting until it gets added, until then we can't do more than live with the pain.

    My idea can prevent every stalemate: today, if the killer and last survivor reach the hatch at the same time, the killer doesn't hit the survivor not to allow him jumping freely, the survivor doesn't jump not to be caught... I saw a 10-minute stalemate like this!

    If the killer finds the hatch, he can close it (and must, after 120 seconds, otherwise it vanishes and respawns immediately) and earn 60 seconds to kill the survivor; after this time, a new hatch appears in another place.

    Ehh, what.. Is that actually serious? Lol...
    Do you have any link that confirms that?

    The power to close the hatch should be balanced with some disadvantages. For example, in my suggestion the killer risks that new hatch spawns nearer to the last survivor than him.

    @JoannaVO They stated in a dev stream or Q&A That they are not adding the hatch closing to the game. Instead they are working on a different end game where the last survivor has to survive for 60 seconds and then the gates and hatch open. During that time their aura is revealed to the killer.

    Ugly solution! With last survivor's aura visible for 60 seconds, the killer always win! :(

    And the hatch becomes useless, if gates are opened, too.

    Okay, it's sad that they're not doing it it because they will get review bombed most likely. But this solution works too and seems even more balanced.

    Another idea: every 180/240/300 seconds, a new hatch appears, so killers can find and close them, but can't prevent last survivor from escaping.

    The endgame scenario they mentioned was a proposed change. Despite that I find it really balanced (with a longer timer), the final product can be completely different, the same or with minor adjustments. Its all guessing until they reveal it.

    That's way more killer sided than closing the hatch imo. I don't know, seems like fixing the end game is a real struggle!

    it seems like killers can never have an advantage

    But in the last few patches there were some changes which I heard are good for killers and somewhat benefit them slightly, so I don't wanna instantly throw my hope away.
