99% Doors
So I think most of us are familiar with the 99% door move. You open the door, but just not all the way, so if you tap it, the door will just open. This strategy is used to cheese EGC so that no one has to actually deal with it. In order to keep EGC from getting cheesed out of existence, doors should have a regression. If you leave it alone too long, progress on it will deteriorate. To avoid giving the killer too much power though, this penalty shouldn't take place if EGC has already started.

The Killer can open the doors himself to counterplay this.

Open the door if you want EGC to start.
You can't have everything your way, there is a counter unlike old hatch.

Open the door. No more “cheese”.

Yep, just totally throw any pressure you had right into the toilet by leaving what you are doing and going to open the door yourself as killer. Pogchamp

EGC is heavily killer-sided... I'm not saying it shouldn't be, but survival rates are below 50% from what I've seen.
with that in mind, stop worrying so much about one little tactic left for survivors to mitigate some of their risk, the ball is still in your court.

EGC means a door is open unless the Killer has already beaten you. Super killer sided.

@NuclearBurrito You can't camp a body/downed survivor while going across the map to open a door.
You open the door start the collapse but lose the reason they would want to stay in meaning they just leave.

Oh no. Anything but an anti-camp mechanic.

@NuclearBurrito Name something else the killer can do at end game that doesn't disadvantage like going to a door.
An anti camp mechanic that just gives free escapes garbage big doo doo poo poo mechanic.

Slugging everyone.
Also if they've gotten all 5 generators done AND had the time to 99% a door, then the escape wasn't free.

Just open the door yourself if you don't want to that's on you.

If the survivor 99%'d the door you may as well open it yourself to start the collapse. It's on the killer for not defending the switch and allowing a survivor to 99% it in the first place. Before the EGC they'd have just opened the gate plain while you were away - there's not really a difference between the two.

From what i have seen, 99%'ing the gates does not do anything for survivors.
Having 'extra time' to make a move for someone else that's hooked makes no difference if you're given 3 minutes or 20 minutes, the end result is the same. They STILL have a limited time to save the other survivor, regardless if the EGC has started or not.
Only reason to 99% a door would be to play around Blood Warden.
