Black Lock Keys shouldn't be in the game.
Title. They're just not fun and ruin otherwise fun games.

Why do you think they ruin games?

Same could be said for Ebony Mori's.

Why do you think they ruin games?At any time during the match, people can leave. If the killer is doing well and the survivor is like this is lost, they just leave, which ruins the game for the killer (which matters. they are a player in the video game).
Also if the survivor doesn't think the team they're on is good for whatever reason, can open the lock and ditch them, which is also not good.
Anything that ends the game prematurely is just bad game design. It abruptly halts the flow of the match in an un-fun way for a lot of the time.

The hatch only spawns when the number of repaired generators exceeds the number of Survivors still in the trial. This means that if the Killer is doing well - let's say two people dead - the Survivors would need to have repaired three generators.

I've never had a team use a key on me before. So I don't really think that this could be that big of an issue. This might happen once every 500 games? I'm not sure on the stats. I think there's just a lot of other things that are busted and actually make an appearance in the game.

I've said that they are annoying, but never asked to remove them. Feel free to check my comments

I RARELY have matches where someone actually gets to use their key, and when they do it doesnt upset me lol, Most of the time only one person gets out anyways.

I 100% disagree with original poster. Black keys are fun and make for more exciting games. If anything, there should be more options for survivors to escape. Not less.
3 -
I've played for more then 1000 hours and haven't seen someone escape using a key.. the items are unreliable and not really worth making a thread to complain about it. If all 4 escape through the hatch that means the gates were powered and you probably would lose anyway.. if only 1 or 2 escape with it you've still won overall.1

How do they ruin it though?
-4 escape via Key? Well the gates are already powered, and you lost since 4 are still alive. It's extremely rare anyways. Unless your build is all end game, it's not really changing a whole lot.
-3 Escape? Well you got 1k, that's not great but whatever. Survivors managed to get 4 gens done. Sucks, but hey better luck next time.
-2 Escape? Darn that sucks, but it was probably super tense/exciting for them. You still got a 2k, still a win imo.
-1 escape? Well, they don't even really need the key in that case... unless it was a quick escape while the other is on the hook. Could be pretty clutch if you're right on top of them and they stumble across it mid-chase. Again, you still won even if it isn't a 4k.Keys can provide for exciting and clutch moments as a survivor. It's still pretty rare that they're actually useful. I fail to see how they ruin anything, in any case it's already game over for one side or the other, except the rare instance of 1 escaping via hatch before it's actually opened (someone still alive/in struggle) and again, you still got a 3k so...

At any time during the match, the killer can just down a survivor and end them right on the spot.
Also if the killer thinks the team they’re up against is good for whatever reason, they can camp, tunnel and mori them or better yet DC which is also not good.
it’s unfun. I am kindly asking you to not give me the “stay on topic” bs because of contradiction.2 -

As for keys, I dunno. I've never encountered enough of them to say that they ruin the game. They may ruin A game but that's not the same thing, you know? It's a one-off random thing that takes a nunber of certain things to fall into place for them to get to use them. It's not like they pop into the match and instantly escape (though if I use survivor logic maybe that's how I should view them). See someone bring a key into a match? Go after em before they can use it.
I’m just stating facts that’s contradicting to what this guy is complaining about.
There’s a certain amount of survivors that need to be alive in order the for hatch to spawn, so he would have to at least kill one survivor unless he sucks at killer. He sounds like he’s one of those killers that think they’re entitled to 4K just about every game but I’m not going to peg him in with those types of killers just yet.
He can just bring FD or like you said, camp and tunnel. I honestly don’t see it as a big deal.2 -
When you say “SD”, are you referring to @SenzuDuck? Might as well @ him to be more direct.2

@SenzuDuck Don’t stress, feel blessed! 💖. I’m honored to be a part of the squad.
It's funny because I've not spoken to a single person from this forum out of the forum, yet you can see they follow each other around upvoting each other malicious comments, where as I get "Lold" despite answering someones question.

The “LOL” reaction is a 50/50 friendly laugh or insultingly laugh button.

Lol @PinkEricka no
I'm the drunk one and @SenzuDuck is the sober oneBasically, it's fine to attack me, but whenever I get into a conversation with one of "them" they literally all dive in and I have to juggle 3/4 conversations at once.

Keys are useless 99% of the time. At best they're good for memes.Remove them or not, it won't make a discernable difference.1

If the killer is doing well and the survivor is like this is lost, they just leave, which ruins the game for the killer (which matters. they are a player in the video game).First they have to do at least 2 gens to even spawn the hatch. Then they have to do +1 gen for each survivor still alive to spawn hatch so they can use the key. Then they need to find the hatch when it isn't open. "Leave at any time" LMAO
@Doctor_Derek said:
Also if the survivor doesn't think the team they're on is good for whatever reason, can open the lock and ditch them, which is also not good.So then this guy should die because they have really bad teammates? Why should he be obligate to stay and help anyone if he can just escape?
Either focus on killing the guy with the key first, use Franklin's, or just accept the guy brought a rare item to escape.
Salty killers man...

That is exactly why they shouldn't be removed. They are already in the game. Once in a blue moon they get actually used. Why waste any effort changing them? If it's not broke, don't fix it.

Well this is certainly a silly thing to complain about.
Key escapes are way too rare to even complain about.1 -

I enjoy it WAY more than boring (pallet) loops, getting DS'd and then more boring (pallet) loops...per Survivor.1 -
