Prove Thyself nerf
Prove Thyself is incredibly strong. 10% increased generator repair speed PER SURVIVOR in the area?! Gens go fast enough as it is. The perk could be reduced to 5%, maybe even 6%.

It is not 10% per survivor. Its just 10% to every survivor which is actually extremely underwhelming.
Survivors get a 10% repair speed penalty per survivor. Prove thyself effectively reduces the penalty by 1 survivor which is not very useful.
The absolute best case scenario for this perk is that all 5 gens get this perk used on it to the fullest potential and it only saves approximately `5 seconds per gen (so 25 seconds saved is your best case scenario). That's the absolute best case scenario. Compare this to any meta perk. Dead hard allows you to not go do down after a mistake and keep running effectively delaying the killer by however long you stay alive after using it. DS wastes 5 seconds of the killers time + any chase time after its used.
Says it right there: for each other Survivor.
As far as multiple survivors on a gen, you're not repairing slower, just having diminishing returns:
1 Survivor = 100%
2 Survivor = 190%
3 Survivor = 280%
4 Survivor = 370% repair speeds.
The way it works is each survivor recieves a 10% penalty for each survivor on a gen
Default repair speed is 1.0 c/s (100%) | 80 seconds for full repair
2 survivors repairing = .9 c/s x 2 = 1.8 c/s (180%) | 44.4 seconds for full repair
3 survivors repairing = .8 c/s x 3 = 2.4 c/s (240%) | 33.3 seconds for full repair
4 survivors repairing = .7 c/s x 4 = 2.8 c/s (280%) | 28.6 seconds for full repair
with prove thyself its
2 survivors repairing = 1.0 c/s x 2 = 2.0 c/s (200%) | 40 seconds for full repair
3 survivors repairing = .9 c/s x 3 = 2.7 c/s (270%) | 29.6 seconds for full repair
4 survivors repairing = .8 c/s x 4 = 3.2 c/s (320%) | 25 seconds for full repair
So lets look at the time saved by prove thyself
2 survivors = 44.4 - 40 = 4.4 seconds saved
3 survivors = 33.3 - 29.6= 3.7 seconds saved
4 survivors = 28.6-25= 3.6 seconds saved
every level of prove thyself will save you less than 5 seconds of time per generator fully repaired with it. Its not nearly as strong as people think.
