Dead Man’s Switch should only trigger if a survivor manually lets go of a generator

Title.

And to clarify what I mean by this: anything forcing a survivor to let go of a generator would not trigger the perk. This includes the generator being blocked by a different perk, as well as screaming.

This would help address the issue with the Grim Embrace synergy as well as with certain screaming-oriented builds.

    I agree, I think this is the #1 problem with the perk and why it continuosly appears every time a killer or perk is changed.

    + I wouldn't even complain about a full rework, I think I'd like to see it have a consistent block timer (a solid 30s maybe) and remove the activation window, both would help weaker/slower killers use it. Then make it apply to only one gen and deactivate, or something.

    Last part would be kind of abusable, cause people could just tap a 0% gen. But just some kind of condition to limit it, but also give it more consistency. Either way, I just hate how it is now.
