Do you feel that hatch offerings are in a good place, or good for the game?

    I'm fine with them because while they're obviously used in conjunction with keys, they're basically an RSVP for the killer. "Hatch is here and survivors plan to use it." That knowledge can make it extremely hard for the survivor to beat the killer to the hatch in a last man scenario, and while it's difficult to stop someone from using a key, it's very easy to prevent the whole team from escaping behind them when you're right on site.

    If someone uses a shack offering and a key, and I go there when one more gen needs to be done before hatch spawns, twenty bucks says I'm going to find someone hiding in a locker. And once the gen pops, I'm going to find the whole team headed there. Contrast with a situation where I have a 3gen and a survivor has a key, but neither of us know where the hatch is, so I have to patrol the map and find the hatch before they do - and while I'm wandering around, I'm giving everyone else carte blanche to my 3gen.
