Rework the New Crow (AFK) System – Stop Rewarding Slugging!

Please rework the new crow system again. Before the update, it was possible to avoid crows by placing items on the ground and picking them up again. But now it isn't possible anymore, and you get crows faster even when just walking towards a gen or so.

When two survivors are dead and the third is left slugged, the last standing survivor has almost no chance of escaping. The killer can just wait until crows start to appear above the remaining survivor, then easily find and down them for a 4k. Picking up the slugged teammate is often a guaranteed loss, as it almost always results in being caught.

PLEASE BEHAVIOR - DON'T REWARD KILLERS FOR SLUGGING.
It takes no real skill, it's frustrating to play against, and it kills endgame tension. For the slugged survivor it is bad too because he can't disconnect in this situation without getting a penalty and has to wait for 3 whole minutes.

Suggestion:

  • Remove the crow system entirely when only one survivor is left standing.
  • At the very least, delay or reduce crow buildup in these situations to avoid punishing players for trying to play smart.

Let endgame moments be tense and fair — not guaranteed 4Ks through passive information gain.
