• I'll never understand my fellow killer's distaste for the hatch.

  Let's take your example: you killed off 3 survivors while they only fixed 2 generators. That's fantastic, good for you. The only reason to INSIST on prolonging the game to get that last kill is to wax your ego. Not to mention, if someone does get the hatch, they out-played you.

  Let's look at the options: either 1) you killed the third survivor instead of slugging them, in which case you're an idiot, or 2) you slugged the third survivor, but they bled out before you could find the last, in which case, you were out-played.

  In either case, insisting the game carry on even longer doesn't help your bloodpoints or your ranking. Spending 20 minutes hunting a single survivor, or standing on the hatch, when you could have started and ended a new game, means fewer bloodpoints and slower rank progress.

  It goes both ways. In those rare instances when I kill off three survivors and either no generators, or only one, is completed: the last survivor is far better off coming out and eating the death than they are trying to fix a generator or two entirely on their own, without getting caught, and having to find the hatch on top of that.

  Try this, just once: go into a random game with a bunch of random survivors, and if just one of them gives you a good challenge, either because they were great at looping you, they were great at avoiding you, or they were great at saving and protecting their team mates: give them the hatch. They gave you a great challenge, let them walk away with a petty few points as consolation. If that isn't an acceptable idea, or completely foreign to your way of thinking, you may be taking a video game WAY too seriously.
