Survivors Using Keys Shouldnt be Counted as a Loss
Just had a match where the survivors were losing badly. One was gone and they had three genned themselves and all the gens were close by. Of course hatch spawned close by them. So I was playing great right? Well too bad, time to be punished for it. One of them found a key in a chest, all three got together, and left. I went from an easy 4k to a 1k in a blink of an eye. How is that any tiny shred of fair? Killers should not be punished like this. Hatch is the cowards way out and Killers should at least get extra BP for survivors taking the easy way out of the game. Instead, it’s a win for them and a loss for me, even though there was literally nothing I could do to stop them. I couldn’t even close the hatch cause one of them was bodyblocking allowing the others to use it.

They definitely should remove the 5k "Escaped" bloodpoints from hatch escapes, they'd still get those 2k "Hatch Escape" anyways. maybe tweak some emblem scores.
I dont know if you were playing great. Tunneling and camping vs solo survivors really dosnt need much skill, and i dont know what happened or didnt happen in your game. Also, with this matchmaking, it could still be that you are a rank1 5k hours killer vs 4 rank 18 2h noobs. Happens time and again, sadly. So no, your conclusion that you played great dosnt have to be right.
With all the tunneling and camping that is going on, hatch escape is one way to counter that even in solo queue, and depending on how the game went, surly no "cowards way out".
However, taking the hatch is (moraly, even though not by gameplay mechanics) and should be a loss for the survivors team, and a clear win for the killer, unless all gens were done anyway.
in my experience, most killers play this way anyway, no matter if you bring a key or not. Iri heads is a think in 50% of games against huntress, keys are usually not.
Also, a key does not end the game quickly. for 4 men to escape with a key, you need 5 gens done. Thats quick for you? The quickest hatch escape i can think of is one survivor escaping with no gens done after you killed the other 3, but then i would argue the killer got carried by bad matchmaking anyway if he outskills the survivors that highly.
I mean, the easy solution is to give killers a consolation BP bonus for hatch escapes. Similar to quitter bonus for DCs.
You may not going to agree with me, but with all due respect I think that victory should not be guaranteed to a good killer and good survivor, everyone should win equally.
It's a survival game first and foremost and unexpected moments should not define who won and who lose. I think it's all about luck.
If there 3 gens near each other how did you lost this game? When survivors do mistake and give me 3 easy gen patrol, i am winning this game. And you are saying hatch was near to those gens. Maybe 1 lucky guy escaped with hatch but you had to kill others. I dont get it, how did you didnt see them. Because if you would patrol good, you would see them.
Just had another match where the survivors three genned themselves and they of course found a key in a chest and all three got out. This key bug is getting really annoying.
