Keys and the hatch
Keys are unbalanced but this discussion isn't about that
So as it is right now, if someone opens the hatch with a key and the killer closes the hatch, the EGC will start no matter how many survivors are left or how many generators are left. The other day I was playing a match as killer and a survivor opened the hatch and escaped with 2 others, and I closed it and the EGC started. They screwed their teammate and left her (nea) to die. Bad move on their part, but whatever.
I think that if someone opens the hatch with a key and the killer closes it, it should NOT start the EGC if there is more than 1 survivor left in the match or if there are any generators left to be repaired.
I apologize if this isnt written well, I can't seem to get my thoughts in order today. I hope you understand what i mean.

But wouldn't it be beneficial to the 2 remaining Survivors that they don't have to do Gens anymore because the EGC started? They can attempt to open the Exit instead which in some cases is much harder but it's the last step in the game towards freedom. Then if one of them dies the Hatch opens again giving the other a second chance.

So if the killer instead kills the other two survivors, the EGC should start? That's not how the game is supposed to work.

No no I was saying, so in the situation you have 4 Survivors but then 1 of them dies and the other leaves through the hatch leaving 2 Survivors all alone because the Killer closed the hatch and started EGC wouldn't that be a good thing that they don't need to do the Gens anymore.

Good sir... The EGC starts cause as soon as you closed the hatch the remaining survivor would just hide for you to spend hours trying to find him if the exit doors were somehow next to each other... So... Are you ok with going back to those times?

in this situation there are 2 survivors left in the match, not 1. If there is only 1 person left then the EGC should start, otherwise it should just continue with the game.
If the killer closes the hatch and there's more than 1 survivor left, they get a chance to escape together. If the killer kills one of them, the hatch should re-open and let the last survivor out.

Hatch keys are pretty busted but I can't deny that Moris can be just as bad. The fact that multiple survivors can escape for free and the killer can kill for free is not good game design.
