Game overhaul thats needed.

Dbd is suffering heavily. Killers below the wanted threshold and Survivors in long queue times and both sides not having fun. We heavily need an overhaul and bhvr REALLY needs to stop looking at spreadsheets and look at the bigger picture. Without these changes the game is doomed to fail in the near future. So these are the changes I'm not just suggesting but RECOMMENDING that it should be implemented as soon as possible.

Generator repair and regression: Generators are flying on repairs and the regression being blocked only makes the game miserable for killers. However having a generator or multiple regress from nearly complete to none is a major issue. So this is the fix.

• Generators now have a minimum of 2 minutes of repair speed (without repair perks, see below on hard caps)
• Generators will have "checkpoints" based on % completed that it cannot regress past (25% per) each checkpoint on default will be every 30 seconds. So if a gen is 65% done, it will only regress down to 50% max.
• Generators will no longer be blocked to the killer in any means
• Repeated kicks to a generator will have dimishing results over time, meaning the amount of time to regress the gen to the previous checkpoint per kick on the same gen will be much slower

This makes gen defense easier while making sure Survivors don't lose all progress if it gets camped. It also doesn't punish the killer in a way where it becomes impossible to play. Both sides benefit.

Another issue is tunneling and camping hooks. Killers generally do not like having to do this and survivors hate this so this suggestion is below.

• When a survivor is unhooked by any means they have 10 seconds of endurance and 50% haste unless the exit gates are powered, when the gates are powered this is no longer granted. If the survivor gets healed by at least 25% progress within the timeframe the buffs are removed.
• If a killer is within 25 meters of a hook the killer is NOT given the unhook notification.
• If the killer is within 25 meters of a hooked survivor for more than 30 seconds and not in chase they get a 10% hindrance debuff till the killer leaves the hook beyond 25 meters. The survivor is able to unhook themselves if this debuff occurs to the killer. When the survivor has unhooked themselves the debuff lingers for 5 seconds. The timer will not reset if the killer leaves the radius and comes back.

This makes camping hooks a non ideal way of playing but doesn't give a major punishment to the killer and gives killers incentives to leave the hooked survivor area.

Another issue is matchmaking and there are 2 issues with it. Skill based matchmaking and SWF. While some people don't have an issue with this some do. I'd recommend implementing these options upon Queueing for a game.

• Add an option to not be in a skill based matching lobby, while it can be devastating for a new player going against pros, this is how we learn from our mistakes faster.
• Add an option to be put into matchmaking with solo queue only.This will prevent both survivors and killers from queuing those in a party.

Both of these options broaden the matchmaking and can significantly improve queue times and benefit different players.

HARD CAPS: Hard caps are caps that have a max on it so things are balanced. These can be changed but these are the caps that I recommend adding.

Survivor:

• Gen repair speed: 150%
• Healing speed: 125%

Killer:

• Gen repair slow down: 75%
• healing slowdown: 50%

this will make the games less rush able and less of a slowdown.
