How to nerf survivors chilling in the exit gate

If a survivor is injured or downed and put into the dying state as they leave through the exit then that health state carries over into the next trial.

That'll teach them toxic survivors!! 😤

    Maybe quit losing, because if they are at the exit gate already, they deserve to win. Killer can BM just as hard as survivors.

    Why punish them? The EGC already began and they are on a timer. They have to leave eventually. It’s not like they are holding the game hostage. Or you could, ya know....force them out by hitting them out. It’s not that hard 🤷🏽‍♂️

    I just hit them. I've actually got a 4k doing that one time. I downed one in the exit gate cause he was tbagging and didn't notice NOED. Picked him up. Took him to hook and his buddies followed. Tried to body block. Boom downed. Tried to help each other up while I hooked.


    Boom downed. Try to save hook. And the rest was just me laughing my ass off.


    Don't just stare at them. Go in for the kill. It works sometimes.

    Trust me its better for you that way. Karma feels so damn good when it sets into play.

    Make EGC go 5x faster if all survivors are within the area of an opened gate, and nobody is in chase/hook?

    I generally just leave them alone. If they want to waste time teabagging like a bunch of clowns, go for it. I'm gonna go find me some a pallet that I missed destroying or see if any of those idiots come out to try to mock me. I'm not going to give them free points by putting them in a "chase" that they can just abandon before I get my hit in.

    And then there is me. If they get the gate open, they win. I have actually downed someone just outside the gate, picked them up, and put them at the finish.

    They won, dude. Just take what BP they give you, be cool, and go to the next game

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought waiting at the edge to take a hit was polite? The killer gets points for the down and you still get your escape points as a survivor. Doesn't everybody win?

    Or since the killer "Lost" the chase, does it reflect more negatively on them than the bloodpoints are worth?


    Aside from that, there's a lot of value game-theory wise in sitting in the exit gate sometimes. Let's say someone's getting hooked and you're injured. You have another teammate that is more well suited to go for the save. You can use your proximity to the gate to bait a killer return to buy more time, pushing you out the gate. It doesn't seem like bm to me to effectively strategize here.
