Functionality change to Dead Man's Switch

Dead Man's Switch is a low tier perk right now, so I believe it should receive the following change.

When the Obsession is hooked, Dead Man's Switch activates for 30 seconds.

If a survivor stops repairing a generator when the perk is active, the generator is blocked by the entity for 45 seconds. The blocked generator is revealed to the killer in white.

If you don't know, how the perk works now is that it activates for 45 seconds and any blocked gens last until the 45 seconds are up. This means that unless you stop a gen in the first few seconds, this perk is worthless as survivors could wait out the time if they let go. If a survivor stops repairing at the 40 second mark, they only have to wait for 5 seconds for the perk to end and for the gen to be unblocked.

With this new version, this isn't the case. Even if you let go 29 seconds after a hook, the gen will still be blocked for 45 seconds total. This would make this perk more effective at stalling gen repair and encourage killers to leave the hook and pressure gens.
