There are another problem apart SBMM
Why does everybody ignoring the archives quests somewhat connected with repairing gens, for example:
repair 8 gens, finish repairing gens, open gates, escape, do x during egc, etc.
every single one of this challenge makes you repair gens to complete it, and this thing affects games of all levels of skill. every single time new tome/rift with quests like these is released, my matches are becoming even shorter, this is a part of the genrush problem, maybe survivors don't want to genrush, but these quests just make them to do it, and for some reason nobody is talking about this

I'm not sure what 'genrush' even refers to anymore. It's like 'tunneling' - it seems to encapsulate such a wide variety of playstyles that it's sort of meaningless.
Survivors are supposed to do gens as fast and as efficiently as possible. Killers are supposed to prevent them from doing this.
Now, there are some balancing issues here and there - absolutely. Some maps are too big, too complex, too dense or have too many strong loops/pallets (or even the occasional pseudo-infinite) and these need reworking. Some survivor addons (BNP) and perks (PTS) exacerbate the problem where sometimes you'll see multiple gens pop before you get your first hook. Some killers are far too weak and lack the mobility/anti-loop/chase power to really counter this, and that needs to be fixed.
However, there are a lot of killer challenges that encourage camping and the like. That's just the nature of the beast.
Naw dawg, survivors will do gens ASAP either way. Rift challenge or not, it is their objective.
Thats like saying hook/sacrifice challenges make killers "kill rush" 😂
