The New Crows: A CRY FOR HELP TO BHVR

We all know what I'm talking about, and I refuse to call them AFK crows at this point, because we get them while actively playing the game. This update has destroyed any build that isn't for Gen-Rushing, and even then, let's hope it doesn't include stealth or side-objectives.

Trying to build up tokens in Stake Out to use alongside Hyperfocus is a lot harder when I'm getting crows while hiding in the terror radius, despite the fact that I'm moving around to follow the killer.

If I run Specialist alongside Appraisal to make the hardest generator on the map super easy in late-game to avoid getting 3-Genned, and then I get crows for running between chests that are across the map, I get punished.

Let's say I'm running a build to distract the killer while my fellow survivors finish generators, and I've got Head On, Quick And Quiet, Diversion, and Urban Evasion, and get a crow while hiding between loops, then can't Head On because I got a crow, and then I go down.

There was a time I was downed, crawled away from killer to hide while I recovered so a fellow survivor could pick me up, and got a crow while crawling away so the killer found me again and hooked me. That same match I even got a crow WHILE WORKING ON A GENERATOR after I hid in a locker to avoid detection because I knew the killer had Friends 'Til The End, and my aura would be revealed for half the duration of the exposed status effect.

Don't even get me started on trying to complete some of the stealth challenges in the tomes so I can get the charms before the tomes go away. Thankfully I did the "Dwight the Brave" challenge before this update because it would be impossible otherwise.

Just revert the crows, BHVR. Killers can already disconnect without penalty after 10 minutes of no generators being completed, and if a player is maliciously wasting time or working with the killer, that's what the report option is for after the match. This new crow system is actively harming gameplay, and that's not something you want to do when an influx of new players are joining because they're excited for The Animatronic. The old crow system was perfect for dealing with AFK players, and didn't harm stealth builds or side-objectives.

FOR THE DEVELOPERS WHO PROBABLY WON'T SEE THIS: This issue is so serious that I created a BHVR Forums account just to increase the volume of feedback that might reach the developers. I don't want to be on a forum, complaining about a game that I was playing almost daily before this update. I honestly don't like complaining or being negative at all. I want to be playing Dead By Daylight with friends and family. Seriously consider that this is my free time, as an adult that works 6 days a week, and instead of doing something fun with my limited time while alive, I'm shouting into the void about a critical issue in one of my dwindling hobbies.
