It takes too long to get crows now, bodyblock prevention takes too long to activate

The anti body block system where you lose collision with crows takes too long to activate because it takes a VERY long time to get 3 crows if the killer is close to you. This is because being near the killer slows down the already very generous crow timer. Now that the base crow timer is as generous as it is, I don't think it is necessary for the killer being nearby to slow it down anymore. Moving already slows it down so unless you are hiding from the killer for several minutes without moving you are not gonna get crows in regular game play even with this adjustment..

    I was going to write a post about the crows needing a half revert and a rework where it will make players with 2 crow and pattern between 1 and 2 accumulation scream in intervals while 3 crows makes them scream the most often.

    Also its actually really sad how long it takes for survivors because i do play evenly for BP grind and quests and i can basically manage to hide entire match without getting a single crow.

    Only in few matches in my lifetime there was a time where i did end up with a crow its againts weskers infinite TR perks which made it a bit harder to know and do gens so i hid whenever i could and spread gen progress to throw him off balance.

    But yeah previous crows were activating way too quick like even for my own liking and i play "moderate to fast"

    Killers should lose collision after standing still for 10 seconds, and that should linger for 3 seconds after they move. This way they can't exploit or bodyblock for ages like this

    old crows only really needed an extra 30 seconds or so for them to activate. the first 2 dont matter, only the 3rd one does, and i hadnt seen anyone get all 3 crows in any games id played during that patch (but i did see and get to the first crow myself a few times). idk why they went so overkill on nerfing them, usually their changes are pretty conservative lol

    There needs to be a way to help players that are body blocked without punishing players for stealthing. Sadly, with how they've chosen to approach the situation, having a body blocked Survivor take the fall is healthier than punishing everyone for not sitting on a generator at all times.
