Hook Suiciding

I can see where you’re coming from, but in my opinion the correct way to process the situation is to make slugging for the 4K not an option - what that looks like in terms of balance is up for debate. But simply making it so killers get an easier win and survivors get even less of a chance is not the way forward to me.

man.. I’m a killer main and I don’t even want to imagine this game without the hatch. I remember before the end game collapse and how survivors would just play ultra immersed if there were only a couple left and neither had a key for the hatch (assuming it had spawned). It would go back to that.

You said killer should be able to open the gate “after an amount of time”. That is a guaranteed survivor escape, assuming you don’t have an instadown in play. So you’re ok with looking for a survivor for some time and then going to the gate and opening it, guaranteeing they escape. But you aren’t ok with looking for a survivor and hatch for some time and they either hop through or you close it?
