The 8.3.0 Mori update promotes slugging
As most of us are aware, patch 8.3.0 added mori's into the killer base kit. While it's a nice feature, it has indirectly promoted slugging. I've had a few too many games now where a killer hooks all but one survivor and then lets the survivor be downed until all other survivors are sacrificed just to mori instead of "risking" a survivor wiggling free.
This means waiting for up to almost 2 minutes while the killer is staring at you, making it only possible to escape if the hatch spawn on top of you and then it's a matter of who can interract with it the fastest. Slugging has always been an issue but since 8.3.0 it's gotten way worse and you run into people who slug at least 30% of your games. It feels like ~10% of games are against a friendly killer so this means that less than 2 out of 3 games are real games where you actually play the game.
So if killers can mori the last survivor, why shouldn't the last survivor be able to fully recover? The game is already favouring killers when there's only one survivor left, why make it close to impossible to escape? As the last survivor, you're competing in an almost fair run for the hatch (almost, since killers are faster) but if you lose hatch, it's really hard getting the exit because it needs to be almost next to you while the killer is walking to the other exit. But since they can mori the last survivor, you're rarely injured or healthy when the hatch is up because the killer is slugging you to be able to mori.
Either the end game needs to be tweaked to make it so it's around 50/50 winrate for both parties or revert the mori change.
