They just drop you continuously... so sure, eventually after being dropped god knows how many times over however long then you will bleed out. Should take... I dunno, maybe half an hour if you are lucky?

That's extremely unlikely. While they're busy doing that your team would be doing the gen.

They need to kill switch SM, I have had several (the same one a couple of times) who are intentionally not hooking you when you're on DH and holding a 3 gen to hold you hostage in game. The only solution is to DC or be stuck in an hour long nightmare where they can essentially hold you hostage since they wont sacrifice you.
The 3 gen situation with SM is beyond insane at this point

That doesn't make sense. If they down you and refuse to hook then you bleed out in 4 minutes. If they won't even do that then you can just work on the gen. It's impossible for a killer to hold you in a match until it times out.

Unfortunately they're still very readily available. Which is cool, because without them being as strong as they are Meatball Larry would be genuinely one of if not the best killer in the game before Add-Ons.
One change I feel like they really should do is stop the EMPs fully self printing. They'll go to 85/90%, changing aura colour as they do so, but then someone has to physically take the time to get off gens and finish printing it. And if that's too strong, they could revert some of the other nerfs, but I don't think it would be.

That's a really good suggestion. I think it would also be good if there was a delay between a survivor being hit with a pod and the time they can use an emp. Right now they just hold the emp until they get hit then they use it before the second shot comes and get to remove their pin and take out the stationary biopod as well.

Genrushing is when a killer overcommits a chase and doesnt apply map pressure to the rest of the survivors so they can just sit on gens with no punishment.

Do you consider less than 60 seconds overcommiting to a chase? Because it's extremely common for the killer to lose 1 or 2 gens by the time they cross the map, locate a survivor, and engage their first chase. I notice in most of my survivor matches that 2 gens pop by the time the killer gets their second hook.

For killers it's permanent hook breaking. For survivors it's either luck or map offerings.

Ah yes, a killer of culture who has not experienced a killer who refuses to leave a 3 gen area. Survivors can easily finish 4 gens on the rest of the map but anytime they go near 3 close gens the chase begins and ends once survivor leaves that area. BORING

4 survivors shouldn't have a problem breaking a 3 gen even when the killer is patrolling it. Survivors usually don't take the time to figure out they're locking themselves into a 3 gen until they've already done it. Maps like Suffocation Pit are a perfect example of this. Survivors will spend all game running to one side of the map while the others do all gens on the opposite side, then lose the match because of it and run to the forums demanding the devs change the game so they can continue to play recklessly.

The idea is to provide that buff to end the game after an extended stalemate. If you've gone...let's say 5 minutes just chasing survivors off gens... rather than downing anyone, that's not a case of "survivors playing poorly". A killer turning back over and over to kick gens rather than chasing is the only people who would really be affected and that hardly is someone who should get buffed. They're already playing a game of attrition in getting rid of any pallets in the area the longer they can stretch out the situation.

But why should a killer leave a 3 gen unguarded if the survivors put themselves in that situation? And again, why should the side that made the mistake be the side to get a buff to bail them out of that mistake?

Survivors mains are adamant that if a killer has 4 survivors left after all gens are done then the killer deserves to lose and should accept it, but they also claim if survivors put themselves In 3 gen then the survivors need to accept the loss. It makes no sense to buff survivors for making a game losing mistake.

If your going an extended amount of time without getting a down... You're not capitalizing on anything. Putting in a mechanic that JUST acts to avoid a 30 minute game of keep away while at the same time doesn't affect normal gameplay at all sounds like a win in my book.

So then why not give the buff to the killer so they can take a chase that would otherwise be foolish to take rather than giving survivors a buff for playing poorly?

It's going to be hard to pull off something balanced for both sides. They could start with something like: after X amount of time without putting a survivor into the dying state with 1 gen remaining, survivors start gaining stacks of Emboldened every X seconds. For every stack of Emboldened, generator speed is increased by X%.

This sounds like another bailout for survivors playing poorly. Why should they get a bonus for putting themselves in a hard to win situation and why should a killer be punished for capitalizing on their mistake?

I mean that's the only way we survive. Can't out run the killer lol

Right, but pallets shouldn't be a guarantee of safety either. When they favor one side over the other on winning the chase it takes away the fun. Playing mindgames with both sides having an equal opportunity to win is what makes the whole point of playing a multi-player game.

I hope they implement some version of both pallet abilities after the event is over. Of not they seriously need to rework the majority of pallets/loops so they're more equal.

I'm "dropping" the number 60% because it is the latest and most reasonable number that we have, once BHVR gives us a new numbers I'll say the new one. Personally I don't believe this number makes any sort of sense, there is MMR in this game so the killrate should be 50% - the fact it's not is already an absurdity by itself. It's possible that the game has become so easy that MMR can't even achieve 50% anymore, or it's possible that BHVR data is completely nonsensical and cannot be trusted at all (wouldn't surprise me given that Nightlight killrates have almost always been at ~50% regardless of patch, which makes much more sense).
But the point is, this number was recently at the highest it's ever been, and we're in the middle of an event, so killer gameplay is likely the easiest it's ever been. If OP finds the game hard now, they might as well stop playing already because it's going to be much, much worse in 2 months when the playerbase will drop by 50%.

The 60% number contains matches where survivors suicide on hook which almost always ends in the other 3 survivors dying as well unless one gets the hatch. So 60% is artificially high.

iirc the kill rate at high mmr, or maybe it was when a swf was invovled, was around 40% - 45%

So the fact we need to rely on perks to combat a BS strategy proves that a ton of changes need to be made. Not everyone has access to Zarina to get OtR and if they’re in solo queue, they sure as hell can’t rely on teammates to run BT.

Tunneling is not a "BS" strategy. It may be one you don't care for, but it's just as viable as any other strategy. And the direction the devs are pushing the game in rewards camping and tunneling and punishes taking multiple chases.

Killers have been asking for years for the devs to add some other objective for survivors to slow the game down even if it means putting in hard anti-camping and anti-tunneling measures but they absolutely refuse to do so while also ignoring that it would help solve their problem with running out of perk ideas, help the game feel fresh, break up the monotony of doing gens only, and that a halfway efficient team that commits to doing gens can end a game in under 5 minutes and guarantee a 4 man escape.
