Fresh thoughts on Future Survivor Changes

I have been playing DBD for a few years now ( both on PC & Mostly on PS4 ) and being a survivor main I do feel as if the game currently is headed toward a killer heavy support kida play. Now I do know the game is meant for the survivors not to get out alive most matches which is fine I just want a fighting chance. Me and my buddies have run through some ideas on what could breath life into being a survivor without obviously being very one sided. One last thing is that these ideas are based on solo like play not a full stack.

#1. I think adding a compass to the game could really help with coordination with teammates. This could either be a permanent part of the UI or maybe a future item or add-on if permanent might seem too powerful.

#2. While a killer is face camping ( really hard ) a survivor on a hook I feel that an audible noise should be seen or the longer the killer stays around his aura should be revealed for a few seconds. I know perks makes this possible but I don't think there is enough punishment to deter killers from doing it.

#3. Survivors should have their own unique abilities like a killer but not to game changing. I feel the survivors are boring perk farmers while killers have something that makes them who they are. For example maybe while playing as Jake Park when using a tool box it doesn't use up as much charges or he can whip up an add-on by deconstructing toolbox and give it to a teammate. Nothing high but maybe brown or yellow.

#4 During the endgame collapse I feel that the exit gates should be spawned on opposite sides of the map. This would give a chance for the last survivor to attempt to open the gate, especially when the killer closes the hatch.

#5.Timely bans for people that DC often, as it stands on console it takes me forever to find a match only for the killer or teammate to DC because they are having a bad time. Giving the remaining survivors bloodpoints for the DC player is a good start but the game really requires each survivor to live as long as possible to hope for any form of success.

These are just a few things that popped in our heads that we felt would be fair but also fun for survivors in all ranks and in both 4 stacks and solo queuing
