Keep Sneaky playstyle viable

In my oppinion, sneaky play will die out if the changes to bitter murmur comes. Even now, its hard enough with BBQ beeing meta.
Why is this important?

-Because some part of the community finds it more thrilling to play it sneaky.
-> Because most of those people are new and/or bad players. If a new player hides somewhere, and sees the killer run right at him, to hang him, he propably won't come back after a few games.
-Good players who can juke for hours in red outfit won't mind ofc. But eventually, they will get bored and quit, and new recruits won't become good players because they don't like beeing completely destryoed all the time.
-If we 'filter out' the bad/sneaky players, only the good players remain. Is this good? no, because then, killers will call for even more survivor nerfs because they get juked into eternity. If they come, the survivors will be annoyed and perhaps leave. If they don't come, killers will be annoyed.

So, in conclusion, allowing people to choose between playing hide'n'seek or beeing confrontive would be the smallest problem.

The only downside to this is: if all players only hide, rounds can become quite boring, but since most of the players prefer a confrontive playstyle, this shouldn't become an issue anyways.

ps: don't get me wrong here: "playing sneaky" doesn't mean hiding in locker or crouching the whole game, while beeing completely useless to the team. Not this kind of "sneaky". I speak about doing gens and rescuing teammates while simply trying to not get spotted during the process.

    I support this 100%. The more updates they make, the quicker the game seems to get, and it's more about Tag than Hide&Seek. I would love more stealthy playstyle options.
