after being slugged for 90 seconds you should be able to pick yourself up for free.

See, I disagree with this. It takes 240 seconds for a survivor to bleed out. If they haven't been picked up after 90 seconds, it's safe to assume they aren't going to be picked up.

This is silly. You don't need to slug for the 4k. Doing so gives you the guarantee that the last remaining survivor won't get hatch, but you are far more likely to find hatch as killer than you are as survivor. Survivor has to search for hatch while avoiding the killer. Killer doesn't have to search for the survivor while also trying to locate hatch.

Because of the mori system

When the alternative as it is now is they just lose, game over man, you get nothing, good day sir...yeah, that's a reward.

Let me put it this way, if your fix punishes players who are doing nothing wrong, I can't get behind it.

A self-bleedout is the best compromise that allows players to get out of a situation where they are being left to bleed out, but doesn't punish players who are trying to play a straight game.

First paragraph

It should take no longer than 60s to suss out the strengths of the team if the Killer cares to win, or even shorter if you use all the information available from Lethal Pursuer (walking thus likely Sprint Burst, AFKs, running with excessive wiggling suggesting inefficient pathing, etc.). A 3v1 essentially guarantees a tie best case for Survivor, unless the Killer colossally screws up. Big difference from Killer loss of 4 out, 3 out, and 2 out. Plus if the Survivors screw up too bad, they risk giving a 3k or 4k instead. Since we were starting from the concept of a 'competent Killer', that means on their worst day they still merely end with a tie, and the majority of the time they get a 3/4k instead. Earlier today I had 2 soloq matches where the Killer turbo tunneled they baby Surv at 5 gens, and the other 3 fell as a result. In one of them every player other than the tunneled player was individually better than the Killer, and frequently ran 1-2 minute chases (beyond average expectations) before the Killer merely Bloodlusted them at filler pallets.

"My first question is what about the mechanic is bad design to you?"

Bleedout as a mechanic or more accurately the dying state essentially puts someone in a state where they have no reason to interact with the game, and their time is better served alt-tabbed. The only reason wiggling on the shoulder even exists is to prevent all hooks from being basement hooks. As such, from Dying state to unhooked, the player isn't playing, or can do all too little to make a difference (recover on the ground at half heal speed, wiggle to prevent distant hooks, nothing meaningful more). Generators aren't exactly engaging, but the penalty of a missed skillcheck is high enough to keep the player focused on the game. Dying as is gives a paltry sum of Survival points to recover/hit wiggle checks.

Final paragraph

It currently is a secondary wincon that is slower but still possible to achieve. It should be far too slow to be desirable, due to the lack of engagement players have until unhooked/picked up. If basekit pickups or no Incapacitation existed during the Dying state (so you could heal/work gens/cleanse totems/open gates), then it would be fine to decrease the bleedout timer, because you can still play the game. Currently it is 'alt-tab time', and that is what makes it bad for the game. Like I said in the other post, time spent out of the game while you should be in-game, means why bother playing the game at all, just watch Youtube and never boot up DBD, or boot up a game you are actually allowed to play instead. As far as regression is concerned, it is basically a personal difficulty slider made alongside Clown/Blight spectrum for mix and match potential. Because the game functions on Killers eventually downing Survivors, Survivors are effectively on a ticking clock to win before resources run out. Slowdown gives Killers a longer timer, thus more resource attrition. Personally I use 1 max slowdown or gimmick combos, (on Killers I enjoy) and that is my current 'crutch/difficulty slider' for most enjoyable gameplay. Any more than 1 slowdown, and my matches are too easy to enjoy, any less, and I strain my skills beyond their current limits where I need to sweat to win, instead of casually enjoying Killer. People who care more about winning at all costs strictly run meta, because it is the most effective tactic available, or easiest to win as seen on the adjustable difficulty slider I mentioned above. I prefer to throw in perks like Blast Mine or Trail of Torment, as they are dopamine generators. I don't get as much dopamine from the raw win because I understand how meaningless it is to me, so the little moments are the most enjoyable like jump scaring as non-stealth Killers, or popping gens during the Blast Mine stun. If I just wanted to win (nearly) every match, I'd run a 3/4 slowdown Blight and steamroll without what I consider any effort on my part. I have more than 70% winrate (as Killer) as is, so I am happy with my results and how I accomplish them. Its just soloq being a torture simulator is what I strain against the most when doing tomes or when Survivor is 100% incentive.

Yes, everything needs to be easy for killers indeed

Bleedouts/alt-tabs

Currently people don't frequently attempt a full-on bleedout, they slug for a short term advantage at worst, but not try to kill by bleeding out. Survivors have to be in the dying state for a Killer to attempt a bleedout, whether they are downing them and picking them up after the hit CD, pressuring the Survivors away from a potential rescue, or trying to waste 4 minutes of their time. In addition, many people do alt-tab on first hook (until 0-15s after being rescued, depending on how much they are paying attention), and this would exacerbate that problem. Crawling is a joke though, it takes ~6s of crawling to equal 1s of running, you can't make it anywhere meaningful with the timeframe given. Edit: If full Bleedouts are encouraged without the removal of incapacitation in the dying state (so they can work gens, heal allies, or whatever), people will alt-tab and stop playing the game.

Bleedouts not possible against competent players

I agree, when all four survivors are competent, bleedouts aren't possible. Sadly (the last odds we have say that) 60% of players are soloq, which increase the odds of incompetence massively. I mostly play to the incentive, but the largest reason for me to swap is soloq incompetence. I all too often run into a complete and total idiot on my team whose singular action (not even chain of actions, but sometimes those as well) lost the match for the entire team. That isn't rare, that's the Killers main method of winning (as and against), taking advantage of the incompetent. The other night a Yui played Blockbuster against an Onion Ring and ran tapes the entire game, never pumping gens (and denying tapes from teammates who might need them and did need them), and then a Steve who stayed Deep Wounded against a Nurse from a prior Endurance effect to commit on a gen, but then didn't fully commit (when he could have both finished the gen and mended), leaving the person on hook to die (due to hook rescue interception) as well as not finish the gen. I have 2 examples off the top of my head because they were so painfully annoying, but by no means are they uncommon. This is soloq, this is Pinhead's fantasy favorite realm, this is normal gameplay.

Edit: Forgot a relevant sentence to append to the end of the first section

No you shouldn't as I feel this would just encourage it more for an easy 4K for killers which slugging as already seen as. Whatever method they put in should be be a discouragement not make it even easier..
