Survivors need a catchup mechanic

One big difference between survivors and killers is that killers can always come back. It is really easy for many killers to snowball after a bad start and get a 3/4k even after a horrible start. Survivors on the other hand cannot come back at all. If someone has 2 hooks when there are 4 gens left you probably are going to lose. If you are going to make the games longer and more boring and let killers let almost every game, at least give survivors a way to catch up. Like faster gen speed for each survivor dead. If 1 person is dead when there's more than 1 gen left it's game over.

    Healing/rescuing is a catch up mechanic.

    So if someone is dead and there are 4 gens left you can heal and rescue to catch up? Do you even play the game or just go on the forums?

    Healing is undoing the killers objectives.

    You can catch up by regrouping, healing everyone up, and then you're back at square one. And yes, 4 gens with 3 survivors is possible. Hell I've done 5 gens with 2 before, by playing smart and stealthy.

    Of course you can't bring eliminated survivors back to life, no more than a killer can un-repair a gen.

    If you could 'catch up' in that sense, then killers would need to be able to regress completed generators.
