When is the Key Getting Nerfed?

Just played a game where the survivors ran 2 shiny coins and 1 tarnished coin. Of course they found a key and 3 of them escaped (the last was already sacrificed.) There was 1 gen left and they had 3 gen'd themselves hard.

Didn't matter that I had iridescent as gatekeeper.

The key should not let 3 survivors escape.

    Soon™

    No official date yet. My guess would be MIdchapter Patch, but this is pure speculation.

    Im curious what way there going to nerf keys. Yeah it sucks when that happens but who knows if the nerf will truly fix that. I would hope by next chapter its released but could take a long time based on there commitment.

    One key, one person. The hatch then closes or becomes non-functional.

    Or a killer offering:

    Green Trapped Hatch - there are 2 locks on this hatch, requires 2 keys to unlock

    Purple Trapped Hatch - 2 locks, if more than 1 survivor is left, player is zapped and placed in dying state and can't escape through the hatch until healed

    Red Trapped Hatch - 2 locks, if any gens remain only the last survivor through lives. The entity claims the others.

    Of course, the hatches work normally when there is only 1 survivor left.

    Should just get rid of the hatch entirely. MAYBE keep it for when 1 survivor is left...

    In my experience, I've NEVER had a game where Survivors merely opened the hatch and jumped in (or, in the case of the last survivor, just jump in) - they ALWAYS hang around the hatch and wait for me to show up so they can teabag and taunt before making the jump. And if I don't show up (because I know what they're doing when it's quiet for far too long), they start vaulting and slamming doors and crap like crazy to get my attention until I do show up, then jump in. It's a total gimmick, a shortcut/free escape that's nothing to be proud of. Get rid of it or give Killers a way to defend against a key/hatch strategy other than by just playing the game normally as they do any other.

    Funny thing. Totally tunneled an Adam for brining a key. Even put a trap on him after before 2nd hook.


    Was a broken key with no add-ons. WHY!?!
