Two Changes That Would Make Me Happier On Survivor. Thoughts?

I'm mostly a fan of the balance rework, with a few exceptions (SC didn't need a nerf, DS should be 5 seconds, Nurse now desperately needs a look).

However, my #1 annoyance on survivor isn't perks or balance related - it's tied to how much easier it is to earn BP and 'pip' on killer.

As a survivor, pipping feels, far too often, like it depends on which killer I'm facing and how they play.

For instance, against a Twins - Evader is impossible at times, as Victor doesn't count as a chase.

It made sense to have killers get a nice bump to BP gains back when killers were struggling, and survivor queues were long. Now though...there's no need for it - the two should be closer to each other.

Yes, the 'needed' queue gets a BP bonus, but - and this is the kicker - a 100% bonus of nearly zero is still nearly zero. And it's far too easy to earn nearly zero BP on survivor for reasons mostly out of your control. On the other hand, even in losing games, you can still earn a decent wodge of BP as a killer by chasing, hitting and using your power.

So...

  1. Survivor BP gains for most actions increased by approximately 30%, naturally with the same cap. This should bring the median survivor BP gains into alignment with killer.
  2. Survivors gain a portion of the BP and 'points' earned by other survivors while they are on the hook. This would at least encourage someone being camped to stick it out rather than immediately surrendering, as right now there is zero reason not to suicide, as you're almost certainly going to depip and gain almost no BP for that match - it's just more efficient to immediately move onto the next one, teammates be damned.

    Pips on the survivor side are too reliant on the killer actively cooperating with you. Given that grades are largely meaningless, it would go a long way to not only do what you've suggested here but also remove depipping.

    I have felt the same gripes about survivor, topped with the fact that all the Daily Rituals I get are for killers. :/
