What do you think of adding 1 generator to repair for survivors ?
I thought it could be good to add one generator, so instead of 5, survivors have 6 generators to repair so it could solve the problem of "Genrush". it could make some perks viable like "Poised" "Fire up". I know it could nerf some endgame perks like "Adrenaline" "Wake up".
In return, nerf camping by making the survivors going faster (100% faster) in repairing generators if the killer stays around 8 or 12 meters from the hooked survivor for 10 or 15 seconds. If a survivors is in the radius of the hooked survivor with the killer it doesn't applies the faster repairing to survivors.
It could be a good idea to add some pallets or windows in dead areas. Some maps have a lot of dead areas.

Well, here's a set questions to go with this then:
Will there now be 8 generators that spawn on a map? There are currently 7 spawn for 5 complete, to avoid killers camping out specific generators. This is also where the 3-Gen strat comes into play.
If a killer leaves the distance then walks back, do the survivors keep the buff or the timer is reset?
Could the person within said radius actually be trying to go for a save and not realise that the killer is nearby, therefore punishing their team? We've all had THOSE camping Wraiths.
Generators are already super slow in low ranks, unless you have a smurf-squad, so won't this just further the problems within those ranks?
These are just all questions that need to be asked when proposing ideas like this.

God no. We don't need to hold M1 even longer.

I'd rather the devs address map design and then see how that goes.

Let's see how the redesigned maps and this new early game mechanic goes, then we'll decide if gens need adjustment.

Bring back the god loops and add 5 more pallets. Then add one more gen.
This is not gonna happen because they have to rework the ENTIRE game from the ground up.
Adding a gen with the current state, game is done.

I agree we would need to make space in some maps. 3 gen situations would be more common.
For the Timer, i would make it so it regress by 1 or 2 seconds when the killer goes away and the buff goes away instantly if the killer is leaving the hooked survivor. I think this idea of nerfing camping is great. I know Devs did that 2-3 years ago but in a bad way.
About ranks, i would say everything is about ranks now because the matchmaking is often broken. We can't really balance the game correctly because of that. I agree that it will cause a lot of problems in low ranks.

I think it would make a perfect addition to killer pink offerings besides just the mori. Add 1 Generator for that specific match.

I think all the toolbox, teamwork Gen, great skill check nerfs are quite pointless, it doesnt slow down the Gen.
I rather to revert all the nerf back to what they were. Instead just let Killers able to kick finish Gen, make it regressed to 95% (not regress further if already complete)
Example 5 Gen done will power exit Gates, but if Killers kick one of them, the Gen done dropped to 4 and depower the Gates. To make the game not keep running in circle between powered-up & depower the Gates, Killer can only kick each finish Gen once.
This idea gives:
- Keep the old Gen speed
- Give Killer something else to do
- Intense fight between power-up & de-power Gates
- This can be a pain if there are only 2 Survivor left but I cant think further

The problem isn't gens it's early game pressure. If 3 survivors are spread out gens it's basically over. Obviously most players don't do this but unless you have corrupt or something you usually lose 2 gens after the first down. This is based on my experience mostly but it's a lot of the reason people say gen speeds are too fast. You can't stop them from popping no matter what unless they just touched one.
