Depips shouldn't be a thing.

While I will agree that the requirements for safety pipping could stand to be adjusted, my suggestion would be using bronze safety pip values for bronze/silver and silver safety pip values for gold/iridescent, and adding a minimum saftey pip for when a DC occurs.

Persnally I dont think getting rid of depips altogether is the right idea. Currently the only punishment there is for the person who gets hooked first and suicides on hook is the depip.

Lets say you are in a killer match, I can often tell a few minutes in roughly how its going to go. Now if you know your going to lose (0k less than 4 hooks) and not pip or depip because the survivors are much better than you, what is the incentive to continue trying in the match? Sure there is BP but that is gonna be minimal anyways, If you are trying to pip up your best option is to get out of the match as fast as possible by not interacting with the survivors so they finish gens and you can get to the next game faster.

The same logic applies on the survivor side as well. All that removing the depip would do is increase AFKs and hook suicides by people trying to pip up especially as you get closer to rank reset.

Well safety pip should be at least made lot easier you can depip as killer while you get 4K and still depip even if you escape as survivor...

As far as i have seen, the changes in the merciless killer rating are only affecting that for achievement progress and not changing the way the pip system works. If you have seen anything specific to that by all means I would love to see that info.

Technically, yes as you could have taken steps to be harder to find and down but depending on how your first chase goes you may still safety pip.

You pose an interesting question, lets examine the results.

First I will say that in my experience, that is pretty rare, especially for multiple matches in a row where your team cant even force a trade, but nonetheless.

Using my suggestion you would need 6 embem points in bronze/silver, and 7 emblem points in gold/iri to safety pip.

We will specifically use the 7 threshold,

Lightbringer, lets say you get 1/4th of a gen done before you get found.

1 point per % you do, so 25 points

1 point per % per gen of progress for gens you dont touch, max 33 points per gen, if your team just leaves you for the full 2 min with out a trade 3 gens should get done so 99 points.

5 points per gen completed so thats 15

That is 140 points silver is 100 and gold is 190 so 2-3 emblem points easy depending on how much you are able to do before your chase starts and what your team does.

Unbroken, this one is pretty cut and dry, no emblem if under 5 min bronze if over 5min but under 9 min.

Depending on how your chase goes this'll be either 0 or 1 most likely, but 1 definitely is in reach.

Benevolent, bronze at 25 points, silver at 45 points start at 35 points. As the first hook and not getting unhooked you wont earn any extra but your point total only drops 10 points if another survivor gets hooked without getting unhooked, so unless 2 people get hooked while you are being camped and no one gets you off hook, by default you should get bronze, so thats 1 emblem point.

Evader, I hate calculating this but unless your getting ambushed by a stealth instadown killer, bronze/silver should be within reach even with only a single 30 sec chase, you also get some points for not being in chase inside the killer terror radius. So thats another 0-2 .

So even at its most basic, you should be able to get 3-7 emblem points depending on what your team does and how your chase goes, with 3 or less being if your team completely throws, and if your team is moderately competent, and you play a little safe 7 is definitely in reach, and thats without even considering perks that extend the chase like exhaustion perks
