Let killers regress exit gates
Not letting killers regress exit gates like generators is something id thought be added years ago but nothing. Because theres literally nothing i can do once a gate is 99%, i am forced in return to camp or proxy a survivior until endgame collapse, which isnt fun or interactive for both of us.
If i could regress a exit gate i wouldn't be forced to camp because i have one final objective i can protect, although there would be two of them i believe itd make endgame more interactive aswell as indirectly buff endgame perks

People will tell you that "you can go and open gates by yourself", because they know that is almost never the best option for the killer.
For the killer to have the need to go and open the gates means the killer wants the survivors to take some kind of action quickly, usually to unhook a player before the game ends or else the killer gets a kill.
On those cases is usually not worth to go and open the gate, because by doing that the survivors can just unhook the player safely once the killer leaves to open it.
Of course not mentioning that if the killer opens the gates while all the survivors are free, then they can just easily escape.
So yeah, regressing the gates its a good idea to make survivors to chose into not opening the gates but letting them and the killer to have all the time in the world, or to open them to have less time but a safer way to escape. Right now it just favors survivors heavily, because they can chose to have all the time and then just open them when they are all ready. And yes, the killer can also open it themselves, but as i explained before, its almost never worth it.

I’ve always thought exit gates should automatically regress even if only slowly like gens.
It would force survivors to open the gates and activate end game perks like Bloodwarden; or someone would have to stay at the gate to keep it ready to open which would mean they couldn’t all be swarming the hook and if they were they couldn’t just leave by tapping the switch.
We had to wait years for them to get rid of gen tapping and I think this is something similar that should go.7 -
Would definitely be a welcomed change. The gates should be more of a contest without needing to bring gate perks.

Gates should auto regress to the last bulb if not being worked on.

Hard disagree. The counter to preventing survivors 99ing exit gates is to not let them get to that state in the first place. Besides, it is usually not in the killers best interest to fight over an exit gate since you would be losing whatever hook/slug pressure you may have.
