A fair/balanced way to #########.
Alright I've been thinking about killing myself recently (in game due to some poor endings where an entire group of 4 is slugged and everyone bleeds out to death on the ground while the killer watches), there's a got to be a way to design it to make it fair for both survivors and killers. In the situations I find myself wishing to die, I can crawl to a killer and they won't hook me, or sometimes it seems like they may just be unable to find me. Either way, it results in a very boring 5-6 minutes of waiting to die. I tried to work it in as a mechanic that doesn't allow survivors to suicide immediately and ruin the game, nor does it allow them to detract rewards from a killer, and a 4 slug is a well played game.
Suicide:
A survivor may choose to kill themselves in certain scenarios. You may choose to ######### if:
- All remaining survivors are in a dying state and no one has been picked up or hooked or revived within the last 90 seconds.
- There are 2 survivors left and one has been dying state for 90 seconds or more.
When all 4 survivors are in a dying state, a status effect called Mortal Dread is applied. In this case, the Obsession will scream, and their aura will be shown to the killer for 15 seconds. If there is no obsession, any survivor that does not have No Mither or Unbreakable will be chosen as the obsession based on closeness to the killer, and their aura will be shown. If every player has one or both of those perks, a survivor will be chosen by who is closest to the killer. This is to help ensure that a killer is able to find a dying survivor in case they have just lost them.
If 60 seconds have passed since the screaming survivor screamed and no one has been hooked, survivors will have the option to kill themselves.
If you #########, the killer will earn blood points equal to you having been hooked 2 times, as the entity enjoys the fear and dread that comes from the act. Any perks the killer has that are powered up by hooking will go into play (BBQ and Chili will get a stack, and auras will be shown outside the radius of the killer, not where the survivor died). This will ensure that killers aren't losing out on valuable BP simply for being unlucky in finding survivors.
If there are two survivors, and one is in a dying state for 90 seconds with no interaction from the killer, they may kill themselves. This will provide the remaining survivor with the Sacrificial Guardian status for 45 seconds. If the last survivor finds the hatch within 45 seconds of the second to last survivor killing themselves, they will get the hatch points. The survivor who killed themselves will get BP equal to the hatch if the last survivor finds the hatch while Sacrificial Guardian is active.
I feel like this may be a fair way to end the game when you're going to die anyway, and not waste as much time, and can also benefit the killer who was able to get 4 slugs in a quick span of time and was unlucky enough to lose every survivor. I'm not 100% sure on the timeframes I used as it's hard to think of how long a minute in game actually feels.

Well it kinda make sense, but will be used to deny killer 4k without loosing points for dc.
What i would like to see is one time use common item which can be used to injure yourself. To get procs without no mither or allow dead hard when there is noed.

Having to lay on the ground as survivor is the equivalent of a killer stuck in a game with open exit gates and survivors that refuse to leave, but one at least has a timer attached to it.
I'll usually just open my 3ds and play for a few minutes if the killer refuses to hook me. that way i can keep an eye on the screen in case a comeback miraculously happens, but im not just sitting there waiting to die.
