Slight Pig buff that makes thematic sense

** slight Saw series spoilers **

I just got through watching the entire Saw series (yes, most of them were pretty awful). I think that one of the most re-occurring scenarios in the movies were where there was someone caught in a trap and another person had to make the choice of either doing something dangerous/detrimental (usually painful) to themselves in order to save the one caught in a trap or be a selfish ######### and only worry about saving themselves. I think BHVR had the right idea when they made it so that RBTs only become active once a generator is powered, but I don't think they went far enough with the concept...

With that in mind, my idea is simple: Every time a generator is completed, the timer on all active Reverse Bear Traps advance slightly (say, 15-20 seconds?). I don't think it would be that meaningful in most matches due to the shear amount of time Survivors already have to remove it, however it could present some interesting scenarios, especially if it's completely ignored and the effect is allowed to stack up.

If someone gets caught early, do you continue gen rushing as usual? Do you pop that last generator or wait for your buddy to get his RBT off thus giving the Pig more time to find you? "Make your choice."

    Yes this is something that should happen
    .. there is no true penalty to doing gens while the trap is on someone's head and this is why her power does not work as intended... she's supposed to slow the game down and she doesn't because of that... tampered time isn't as good as it could be... people believe that rule set 2 should be in her kit and that's not the case... survivors would just do gens instead of trying to get the trap off... what should happen is the survivors should have like a knockout effect for the boxes or a penalty of say 10 or 15 seconds for each gen after activating

    This should happen, yeah, but I would like to see the Pig's ambush attack put a reverse bear trap on a survivor before they are downed. Having an RBT put on your head after being downed is insult to injury and it feels bad, especially if The Pig decides that they really want to sacrifice you first.

    I agree.
    The Pig needs a buff and survivors should make a choice.
    Its a little bit dumb, that other survivors dont get less points, if they activated a reverse beartrap.
    I have a discusion about this theme,too :
