Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

The "Surrender Option" doesn't make sense

Surrender State 

The team has been working on a Surrender feature, which should limit player frustration on both sides. To get it right, we first needed to identify the situations where its use would be most appropriate, leading us to two scenarios: 

All remaining Survivors have been slugged (Survivor) 

All remaining Survivors are bots (Killer) 

Once these instances occur, players will be able to use the Surrender option, ending the Trial while retaining the Bloodpoints they’ve earned and escaping the Disconnect Penalty. 

The suggested implementation will encourage 4 man slugging more, which will only make the issue worse. If the survivors are being 4 man slugged, they will surrender, as such the match will end sooner and it makes 4 man slugging an actually viable strategy for killers to use. 4 man slugging should not be encouraged no matter what.

It is inherently not entertaining. The more prominent it is, even if people aren't forced to bleed out, the less survivors will play the game.

Furthermore the killers surrender state comes when they have already won the game (everyone has dc'ed) which encourages toxicity, but survivors surrender state comes when they literally can't win the game and are arguably trapped in a toxic situation.

Surely shouldn't the killer surrender state be something like "If the killer has less than 4 hooks and the exit gates are powered they can surrender.".
