Expanding killer interactions and balancing

So, this is going to be a long one but I'm going to keep it neutral or at least positive. This next patch is going to be encouraging killers to leave hooks but killers such as trapper and hag are going to suffer more so. I would like to see some balancing that is being ignored such as:

-End game screen for survivors does not display any killer information. Why? it would buff end game builds, and balance SWF at higher ranks and keep the end game exciting for a player who wants to play that way- growing killer options

  • Only 1 gen can be completed every 45 seconds. This would set a minimum game length of id say 5 min. Forcing survivors to be more strategic in movements. It would be a balance similar to the hook interaction balance being released in next patch.

-Give players who are killer more control over the flow of the game. The reason so many stick to hook is because they have no other method to reliably affect the game. If a survivor team is doing well often 2-3 gens are done by the time 1 survivor is hooked.

If these changes seem ridiculous or far fetched maybe instead of having killers the devs should encourage people to start calling themselves chasers. Maybe introduce Bots as these chasers? Because Im not seeing diverse game play as a killer as a survivor the game is a blast but i don't affect the game as much as survivor when I play chasers.

    Agree with the end game thing, the gen 45s not so much. What might be a good balance thing could be:

    Cold generators. At the start of every trial, the five gens have gone cold, which significantly increases repair timers. At least one has to be repaired, before the gens reheat and the timer is back to normal. Cold generators can be repaired by multiple people to decrease the time to normal speeds. With three people on one gen it would repair as one person on one generator.

    This can be tweaked of course, but this would actually give the Killer some time, because Survivors have to activly find each other and work one generator all together or sneak and get one with ridiculous repair time.
