Killers should see Hatch from the start

I think this would be a small change that would help balance the 'free escapes' that come with end game collapse.

If the killer is aware of where the hatch is all game, some will be compelled to stick by it, motivating survivors to do the opposite. During endgame the survivors will also be aware that the killer probably knows where the hatch is and have more information on whether or not to go to the doors.

This gives at least a little bit of control and strategy back to the killer, instead of just losing one kill due to dumb luck or not wanting to slug.

This still gives the survivors the same options of escaping but it doesn't feel so cheap on the killers side. Also, this doesn't even guarantee the killer knows where the hatch is, they still have to come across it during the game.

I am sure a response to this would be that if the killer knew, they would essentially camp the hatch to secure the 4k. Yes, they might, but there is the counter of being able to go to doors. Also, if they killer can do this, that probably means they did well enough to get all 4 anyway, the survivor just doesn't get the free escape.

Currently, a survivor is almost rewarded for screwing their team and waiting for hatch spawn. However, if the killer was able to plan that last kill with the information of where the hatch was, these survivors would be rewarded far less often.
