Plausible fix for “gen rushing”
Preface: I’m a survivor main, only play killer about 20% of the time
Background
I see frequent posts about gen rushing and what killers do to either stop or curb it. If 3 survivors are on separate gens and killers chase 1 person, it’s incredibly easy for 1 survivor to run for 80 seconds and have 3 gens pop. Even holding W has been shown by TrueTalent to make 1 chase and hook last 70 seconds. Corrupt intervention only blocks 3/7 gens meaning it can essentially only delay decent survivors for no more than 20-30 seconds at the start making it less of a balance but more so and small roadblock.
Proposed solution
Change Corrupt Intervention to progress all gens at 50% speed for the first 2 minutes of the game. Meaning a solo gen would take 2:20 (60 charges in 120 seconds and the final 20 in 20 seconds) instead of 1:20 giving killers 1 additional minute of prep/chase time.
Possible survivor complaints and solutions
Corrupt + Ruin/Pop giving killers amazing gen and hook pressure due to the extended time required to be on gens
You could either
A. Find ruin and cleanse it if they have it
B. Stealth it out for 2 minutes
C. Brute force the gen anyway with the extended time
D. Double team a gen to complete it in 82 seconds (triple team 67 seconds)
Thoughts?

I'd expect regression perks in general be toned down for the addition.

I mean this in the best possible way,,,not toxic at all. Killer mains ALWAYS tell survivor players who complain and camping and tunneling to simply "get better" why cant that be the same advice for killers who complain about survivors gen rushing, I am sincerely confused?? That is the advise always,,,and I means always, being told to survivors who say anything about the "tactic" of camping and tunneling. The only time I see camping and tunneling as a tactic is when three gens are done and the game started a min ago. But, that is not usually the case I see. I play a few hours a night and see most camping killers do it after the first 20 secs of a game starting and not one gen is done. It is their "go to" move from the start because they know survivors will try to hook rescue.

the other way around is also true.
killers complain about the gen times and survivors tell them to git gud. but then survivors complain about camping and tunneling and somehow they don't wanna hear it.

Why would you want to make it harder for survivors you need to make it harder for killers they just tunnel you to death and true is a god so there's always an exception

I agree with you very much so I play solo survivor cause killing is to easy and the fact that killers are crying about gen rushing means there camping cause I never had a problem playing killer and if they do it is cause they can't build bringing franklin's for med kits with a chainsaw what is the point .
