IDEA: ABLE TO END YOURSELF AS SURVIVOR WHEN YOU ARE DOWNED AND THERE IS ONLY ANOTHER SURVIVOR LEFT.
This is an idea I thought about to counteract killers slugging a survivor in order to get a 4k.
This in itself is not a huge problem when there is one or two generators left, since it is still possible to win. But the problem arises when there is 4 or more generators left, and only you and another survivor are alive.
If the other survivor get downed and the killer decides to slug that person to get the 4k, there is literally nothing you can do. This makes you feel truly helpless.
Worst is when you are the one who got downed, it feels utterly pointless to wait on the floor while the killer chases the survivor around. Especially if the survivor is good. This is when the ability to end yourself would be less frustrating for both you and your teammate.
However on the other side it could pose a problem for the killer incase you can do it instantly or whenever. There are many survivors who dc over the smallest things and this would just be better for them since they wouldnt lose bloodpoints.
Thats why I think in order to end yourself you need to be downed and either:
1) You need to have been slugged for a while (maybe 30s-1min).
2) There is only one other survivor and like 15s have passed (so you cant end yourself just to prevent a hook)
This is some conditions I thought about the top of my head, but it feels like this idea would be an improvement to the game quality and would prevent the killer from keeping a survivor hostage.

I gotta say no to this idea. There's no way to distinguish slugging the second to last survivor when you know where the last one is at or slugging to look for the last guy. If i ever slug for a 4k i normally already see the survivor or i would just hook the guy and hope bbq activates.
But that's why I gave some condtions (which surely can be improved upon). Say that you saw the last guy after downing the second to last survivor. Then if we say that the first condition is in effect, it means that you have to find and the down the last guy in a minute.
This makes it so the last guy still has a chance. He can run you for a minute and hopefully (from his perspective) find the hatch before you and get out and the other survivor can choose to bleed out to move on to the next game
Thing is, this can still be abused. No matter the time limit. If you got a super unlucky map and get looped at multiple strong spots it'll extend to over a minute. If the survivor can get to like 3 pallets. Thats a minute right there. At some points you just gotta give em a 4k. They have 3 comfirmed kills and just getting their 4th. Just let the game end lol. There already is a "timer" and thats your bleedout timer.
Im all for it. A "cyanide capsule" that is in the game. I really wish they wouldn't hold back in this game and amp up the gore. With this. it only makes it that much better. I think it is a great idea.
Currently the only counterplay to 2-man standing BBQ killers is Disconnecting.
Being able to suicide when in the dying state would be bad.
The best solution would be if, after a certain amount of time in the dying state, survivors were given the option to "concede." They'd leave behind a husk (which would continue to bleed out like normal), but the player would get to collect their points and move on to a new game. Nothing would be taken away from the killer, and the survivor would have a better gameplay experience because they don't have to be stuck in a match they can't participate in.
Or we could get the Identity V thing - When everyone is down (and i think 3-5 minutes passed in the match) survivors can "concede" but it must be 4-0
