Should killers have a passive blood warden effect when standing in the exit area?

AetherBytes

Title. Should a killer standing in the exit gate be able to block it? This would encourage people to leave quicker, especially against killers who can be there all of a sudden, like nurse or hillbilly, or those who can stealth in suddenly like ghostface, Wraith and spirit?

No, because it would totally deminish the close chases when a survivor is barely escaping the killer in the exit gate.

@ad19970 it triggers at the same distance that the entity blocker appears for the killer.

If you had suggested this before the End Game Collapse had dropped, I would of been behind this.

But now that EGC is here, we have no need of this.

Nah, i'm good without.

This would be cool, It would prevent survivors wanting to t-bag at the exit gate and me having to push them out. But it would also prevent dudes being chased to escape.

I guess we have to fix those issues some other way.

To be honest that would only serve to stop those extremely close chase escapes as those that sit at the gate would just adjust and leave a second earlier so as not to get affected.

that would be absolute nonsense

This would, essentially, allow you to follow a survivor and ensure that they can never leave, in spite of being able to get to the exit before being downed.

Perhaps make it timed then @Peanits ? When it triggers, it has a 15 second timer that it triggers for, then a 5 second cooldown. It'd be enough to kick everyone out, and to balance can't be triggered with 30 seconds or less left on EGC. And final survivor can ignore the effect, to stop any possible tunneling, since other players will leave to save their ass (causing 1 player to be left) or cause a scramble, where everyone tries to run because of the block.

This makes opening 2 gates and the mindgame of which gate will they try to open up. Are they running for the other gate, or will they try sneak in behind you as you patrol.

just make it a new perk with a cooldown so when the killer enters the exit zone its blocked of for 10 seconds or something like that

EGC is enough.
