A proposal to solve the looping issue

Firstly, a disclaimer: I don't think looping breaks the game. There is counterplay, I know. I just think that both thematically and gameplay-wise it is a dull, unfun mechanic that has no room in the game.

However, it is well and truly the only reliable way for Survivors to deal with the Killer. Stealth is viable if you play it right, but it is WAY more counterable than looping, and much more punishing when you mess up. That's why my proposal involves nerfing looping and elongated chases while buffing stealth and making it easier to actually lose killers.

I propose a rework to the Bloodlust system. Another disclaimer: I'm not one of the old school gamers in DBD. I don't know how the game was before Bloodlust, or how it affected the chase dynamics. I think, however, there is a way to make it more meaningful and satisfying, encouraging a high-risk/high-reward playstyle for both sides.

1. Add another Bloodlust tier, at 60s in the same chase.
2. Slightly reduce the movement speed bonuses, in a way that the bonus for the fourth tier is roughly the same as the max bonus is currently
3. Bloodlust is no longer reset after destroying a pallet (only on stun and losing the chase)

And how would it work? Well, not losing Bloodlust on pallet breaks is a considerable buff. What I propose is that with each tier, scratch marks become less and less visible, and in the final tier, there are no scratch marks at all. In exchange for that, after 60s in a chase, the Survivor gains the Exposed status effect.

I believe it would solve a lot of the game's problems in multiple ways. First of all, it would become a lot easier to effectively lose the killer as the chase goes on, which should, in my opinion, be the primary objective of survivors during a chase. Secondly, it increases both the risk and the reward for both sides in long chases. On the killer's side, if you're commiting to a single chase, you have the Exposed effect to aim for. If you lose the survivor (which would become a lot easier with no scratch marks), however, you just lost a massive amount of time and have to reset the chase from square one.

In the survivor's side, it becomes easier to waste a considerable amount of the killer's time, while losing them in the end. If you get caught after a long chase, though, you're screwed.

Of course, in order for that to work, a lot of the wonky chase registering mechanics would need to be tweaked. The speed boost numbers are up for debate as well, especially with an Exposed effect to back it up.

Also, these changes would be a lot juicier with some updates to the stealth perks, and increased Evader bonuses for stealth.

In my opinion, this game should have a healthy balance between stealth and intense chases, and currently stealth is nearly dead (except for some singular cases like Blendette). I believe these changes would make this balance healthier, and encourage more fun and engaging gameplay from both sides.

Tell me what you guys think.
