A simple anti-slugging solution

I want to propose a rather simple solution to help with the slugging issue, without making the mechanic overpowered or utterly useless for either side (unlike the no self-unhooking change)

Allow survivors to recover from the dying state by default, no perks required.
Players in the Dying State can recover up to 90%. After recovering for 90%, and if the killer is further then 16 meters away, press and hold the interaction key to get up and fully recover over the span of 3 seconds.

In essence, if you maxxed out recovery, you can get up yourself, provided the killer is some distance away.
Naturally, several perks will have to be upgraded as well.


TENACITY
Increases your Crawling speed by 30/40/50%. Grants the ability to crawl and recover at the same time and reduces the volume of Grunts of Pain while in the Dying State by -75%.

UNBREAKABLE
Your Recovery speed is increased by 25/30/35%. After recovering for 90%, press the interaction key to get up from the Dying State instantly, and receive 5% Haste and Endurance for 1.5 seconds.

NO MITHER
Suffer from the Broken effect. Reduces the volume of Grunts of Pain while either in the Injured or the Dying State by 60/70/80% and suppresses the creation of Pools of Blood. Increases your Recovery speed by 20/25/30%. After recovering for 90%, press the interaction key to get up from the Dying State instantly.

SOUL GUARD
After being healed from or having recovered from the Dying State, receive Endurance for 6/7/8 seconds. While suffering from the Cursed status effect, recover 9/12/15% faster. After recovering for 90%, press the interaction key to get up from the Dying State instantly. Then this perk goes on cooldown for 30/30/30 seconds.

BOON: EXPONENTIAL
All Survivors benefit from the following effects when inside the Boon Totem's radius: 90/95/100% bonus to the Recovery speed. After recovering for 90%, press the interaction key to get up from the Dying State instantly.

PLOT TWIST
Whenever you are in the Injured State, Plot Twist activates. While crouching and motionless, press the Active Ability button to silently enter the Dying State with the following benefits:

  • Suppress Pools of Blood.
  • Suppress Grunts of Pain.
  • After recovering for 90%, press the interaction key to get up from the Dying State instantly.

After full recovery using Plot Twist, you are healed instantly and gain +50% Haste for 2/3/4 seconds. Plot Twist deactivates after recovering yourself by any means and reactivates once more once the Exit Gates are powered.

DEERSTALKER
The Auras of all Survivors in the Dying State are revealed to you within 20/28/36 meters. Get a Killer Instinct notification if a Survivor starts to fully recover by themselves within 32/36/42 meters by any means.
