The 10 minute "no generator completed" abandon can be fixed pretty easily

We could fix this type of abandon so it still works for its originally intended feature, letting killers get out of matches where the survivors are only hiding without trying to do gens, while also fixing the "defend a 3-gen for 10 minutes then abandon for a 4k" strategy.

Here's the only change that would be needed, written in bold:

  • When no generator has been completed within the last 10 minutes and the killer has not been in a chase within the last 5 minutes, the killer can abandon

If the survivors are actively doing gens, then the killer will be chasing them, as well as slowly reaching the genkick limit, but since they're constantly in chase to get people off gens, they can't abandon this type of match, eliminating the 3-gen into abandon strategy.

If the survivors are trying to hide without doing any gens, chances are you won't be getting into any chases at all, so you can still abandon after 10 minutes. And even if you do get a chase and catch one of them, worst case the remaining survivors continue to hide while the hooked survivors gives up on hook, and you only have to wait a short while after that survivor dies and the others keep hiding before you can abandon.

I feel like this simple change would completely solve the 3-gen problems with this type of abandon while still keeping it available to deal with survivors that decide to only hide without doing gens.
