End of match update please

So I get that the 4K is necessary for a killer to pip but can we please do something about killers and slugging. Matches are taking longer then they should because the killers need to get all 4 people for the score. It's not fun having to watch a person bleed out or go back and forth with the killer on downs. Please suggestions or ideas appreciated.

    Killers don't need 4ks to pip though because you can get a 4k and depip. It's about the number of hooks you get, how long you can keep generators from getting done, and getting into chases that don't end in two seconds (sorry insta-down killers). If you get max hooks on just 2 people, you can hook the other two once or twice and get a pip just fine.

    People who slug for 4ks just don't like letting people have a chance to live. That's all.

    Sorry but punishing slugging would require some major overall reworking. I dont really want to receive a random punishment just because as I downed someone, someone else flew right infront of my face?

    Not asking for a punishment however when the other survivor is not even around they just do it to wait out the survivors for hatch or to lure them out. Again i understand why they do it but it's basically like the hatch stand off but with a downed survivor. It draws out the game when it should.

    Id be fine with that if we can punish gen rushing can't punish one and not the other just saying.

    Okay sorry but, deal with it? They would have to rework several perks, and base mechanics of the game to adress a farely minor problem. It aint happening.

    Huh I'm dealing with it that's why I am on here. It is a constant problem for me that killers are not hooking. I am unhooking and healing teammates like I am suppose too. If I run in front of a killer that downs the second to last survivor that is my own fault. However if I am across the map on a gen and they slug until the survivor bleeds out I am just asking for a better solution.

    I got a pip a few weeks back when I let all 4 escape lol so a 4k is not necessary

    Generally I will slug to make the game last a little bit longer to earn enough points to pip so maybe that's why its more common? I mean if you kill 4 people within like 3-5 minutes its probably a black pip

    It isn't always about pips, nor about points. Some players want to be a killer and not let anyone escape the match alive. Everyone has their own opinion on what is boring. I personally thing mori's make the matches boring but that is my opinion and I don't care as much as to whether mori's leave or stay in the game. So slugging someone to get two confirmed kill can be boring for some, but other players might not mind it cause they run unbreakable knowing killers might do this.

    You arent going to get one, because again, this is something that would require heavy reworks across the board to change.

    Yea I guess my play style is in the old mind set of the hatch before closure I liked it better because I was always the last to survive and could usually always get out.

    @Elementres I feel that but now keys have a purpose for solo play to help you for sure to get out if played correctly
