Core chase mechanics rework

We all know this game has a lot of issues. Gen rush, insane loops, impossible to juke killers (as opposed to the possible to juke killers that also exist) ect. Here are a bunch of changes to help fix some ofthem:

Scratchmarks rework:

Scratchmarks now do not always appear while running. They instead only appear under specific circumstances. Those are:

• When a survivor initially starts sprinting scratchmarks appear at their location
• While running if a survivor touches a vertical object such as a wall or tree scratchmarks appear on that object. This includes windows when fast/medium vaulting over them

This is important, since the way scratchmarks are right now it is nearly (but not entirely) impossible to lose the Killer in a chase. Instead your primary method of winning a chase as a survivor is to stall the Killer.

With this change scratchmarks are more of something that can be avoided with proper play and more to give the Killer a sign of an action occurring than to actually be relied on for following a Survivor.

Sounds:

While crouching and injured you make much less noise than you normally would.

Otherwise just fix survivor sounds being basically silent most of the time.

Movement speed:

First of all for survivors

• Crawling speed increased to 1 M/S up from 0.7 M/S
• Crouching speed increased to 1.5 M/S up from 1.13 M/S
• Walking speed increased to 3 M/S up from 2.26 M/S
• Running speed unchanged

Next for Killers

• Nurse, Spirit, Hag and Hillbilly have their MS unchanged
• Myers has his movement speed changed to EW1 = 4.4 M/S, EW2 = 4.6 M/S and EW3 = 4.8 M/S
• All other kills have their movement speed increased by 0.2 M/S
• Bloodlust is removed entirely

This is the core change to prevent looping. Everyone moves faster and thus can get to Survivors through loops faster. Most chases can be shut down pretty easily if you had a permanent bloodlust effect after all.

Additionally this also helps get the sped up killers much more map pressure.

The top tiers I mentioned are already really good and don't need this change, and thus they don't get it.

At the same time

Windows:

• Killer vault speed decreased by 0.2 seconds for every killer besides Myers. That means base vaulting speed is 1.9 seconds.
• Bamboozle is made basekit and lasts for 10 seconds. The perk itself lets you block a 2nd window at the same time and makes the durrection 4/8/12 seconds longer, and it still lets you vault faster but with the boost increased to 25% with all of these changes that would be 1.52 seconds.
• Entity blockers from the Survivor vaulting is removed since the Killer can block the windows himself
• Survivor medium vault speed decreased by 0.1 seconds. Fast vault is unchanged

Again, if jukes are required then windows need a longer "window" of opportunity to make a play. For use in loops the speed increase of most Killers should have a much larger effect than this. Medium vault slowed down to make a fast vault more rewarding in comparison for pulling these jukes off.

Basekit Bamboozle instead of the current Entity blocker method means that a Killer is more likely to vault in the first place thus giving more chances to try a juke, while at the same time making loops be shut down faster than the current system. It also has the bonus effect of bypassing issues with the fickle chase detection system.

Pallets:

Just do the rework mentioned in the anniversary stream. The mechanics and numbers behind it are fine, just fix the spawn locations.

All of these changes are designed to make it easier for a Survivor to get back into hiding from a chase, but harder for them to stall for time if they can't do it quickly. The idea is NOT to give Killers an easy win nor is it to give Survivors an easy escape.

Now there is likely some obvious flaw somewhere here. If you find one then please just bring it up so we can try to revise around it instead of just dismissing the ideas entirely, since that won't get us anywhere.
